I plan to cut the wires coming from the stock radio harness and running the speaker outputs to a amp that has HIputs (high inputs) and then connecting the amps output into the stock speaker wire runs. I hope the stock wiring can handle the increased load. One great amp is the JL audio HD900/5. It amplifies all four "satellite" speakers (stock speaker locations in the doors) and has a dedicated mono output for a subwoofer. These amps are expensive, but worth the investment. Tons of adjustments and a special internal power "filter" that uses electricity smoothly. Hate to sound like a commercial for JL audio...


As for the speakers in the doors, those will me upgraded to match the capabilities of this amp.


Still need to figure out where to mount the amp itself. I thinking either the glove compartment or in the rear next to the sub.


My rene came without a spare tire, and has the round Styrofoam insert in the tires place. This cavity plus the space above it when the shelf is in the "flush" position looks ideal for a custom subwoofer box. Removing the insert and relocating the air pump/fix a flat thing. This way there is no box taking up too much room in the rear storage area..
Was wondering if you ever made that speaker box for where your spare goes. Would like to see a pic to give me an idea.
