Good keywords when you are looking for something on there. I saw like 3 amps. If you wanted more powerful oem maybe search for a newer model. Hope that helps a little. As far as the speakers, I don't know. __________________ I'm back with a different 95 ti | | | 05-12-2006, 07:44 PM | #3 | Member Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Buffalo Posts: 61 | as far as i'm concerned, the OEM amp and speakers are NOT the weakest link in the audio system. I believe that the Head Unit is the worst part of the whole system. That is the first thing i would replace in THESE cars! | | | 05-12-2006, 07:51 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Berkeley, CA Posts: 411 | true. They will blow though. I got stock stock speakers. aftermarket head. added sub, I run it at low power. sounds great. __________________ I'm back with a different 95 ti | | | 05-12-2006, 10:16 PM | #5 | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2006 Posts: 29 | Quote: Originally Posted by jetblackbimmer I saw some on eBay last night. look for e36 oem.

It is easy to get to.... just unscrew the plastic cover to the tail lights, like you were going to replace a taillight bulb. Once that is removed a little tugging on the carpet cover and it will come loose, and the amp is TOUGH to miss!!! | | | 05-13-2006, 12:41 AM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Norfolk, Virginia Posts: 289 | I left my amp in place, just cut all the wires to it, wired the new system COMPLETELY seperatly, didnt use a single inch of original wiring. If you have the time, knowledge, and money, thats the way to go. I run 200W to my speakers, and about 1200W to my subs. __________________ _____________________________________________ Cold air, Dual Exhaust, Ellipsoid headlights, CCFL Angel Eyes, custom ICE, M3 wheels, Cobra Radar Detector, CF eyebrows, ACS CF gauge bezel, clear corners, Euro tail lights.

This is the oem amp, mounted neatly out of sight: www.ubiquity.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/oemamp.jpg I believe it runs on high level inputs, as I cant see any rca's or likewise running to it. | | | 05-18-2006, 01:41 AM | #13 | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2006 Posts: 29 | Quote: Originally Posted by ubiquity Firstly sorry about the picture quality, I took the picture quicky this afternoon after finally managing to remove the cd changer cradle and preparing for sound deadning.
