There is a factory two channel amplifier in the trunk that powers the door speakers only. It does not produce a lot of power and the 12 volt circuit that supplies this amplifier is fused at 15 amps. Which means that the wiring itself is not heavy enough to carry a lot more. If you want to improve on the factory amplifier using the stock wiring your new amplifier will need to be fused at no more than 15 amps. One workable alternative is an Alpine KTP-445U.

Here is a link to it

Here is a link to another thread about re-using the trunk amp wiring.
