Re-using the JBL Factory Amp???

[shadezz]

I'm planning on purchasing new Alpine Type R 6x9 for the rears and 6 1/2 Alpine Type R components for the fronts(Tweets in the dash). Anyone upgraded their speakers and still make use of the factory amp? Anyone also have the Factory REAL RMS WATTS to each channel? 2008 Camry SE w/ JBL system.

The thing with the stock jbl amp is it runs at around 2 ohms....you can check this by getting a multimeter and testing it but im pretty sure it was a 2 ohm load last time i checked....the thing is with mostly all after market speakers you will find them running at 4 ohms but they do make a 2ohm speaker but its more than likey not in the brand that you want....also whatever it said on the sticker i think 440 watts is peak and not RMS....so more than likely if you do find 2 ohm speakers your just going to be running loww wattage to them...i personally upgraded everything and i just bought a new 4 channel and 2 sets of components....
