The speaker holes (thats what they look like to me) in the front footwells, what size speaker?... looks like a good place for some treble and mid to come from.. very tidy too.

Anyway, back to the question. I think they are 6x4 or something like that.

2400W peak power, but real power is far far away from promises. With 2x20A fuses it can make only ~290W (RMS)@14.4Volts. Amps common(AB-class) efficiency is around 50%.

Thats why i dont use cheap and unknown brands.

As with the others it wont make it.

for 2KW plus, look for a powerbass amplifier, and old solid audio F25000D Oriion make some good 5KW ones. etc.

Plye etc = shit.

fair enough,
cars gone now.. the next one will get tasteful audio and removable stuff, no cutting I promise.
The old one was really knackered inside, outside and was beginning to rot..
