Powering Non-BA Door speakers? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Is there such thing as a small amp that you could install in or around the inside of the dash to power the door speakers only? I was looking at a 2014 1ss with out the BA system and the only thing I really need is some decently loud and clear door component speakers.

Rockford Fosgate Punch PBR300X4. That is the smallest amp I know of that actually puts out any decent power. You would still need to run a power and ground wire to the rear (battery) thought.

JL Audio has a XD 200 amp. 2 leads for 200 watts.

ye wasn't thinking, if I am going to run wire I might as well just get a full size amp and basically do the same as I have for my 1LT. thanks

4 channel sound ordance on crutchfield sounds fantastic..... you'll need to run speaker wire to the head unit and splice in there

Alpine ktp-445u, fits behind the dash and is a fairly easy install.
45w x 4 rms @ 2 or 4 ohms

It will tuck away neatly behind the console on the back side of the radio. There's a perfect space for it.

It's 7-7/8"L x 1-1/2"H x 2-9/16"W

It will power all 4 speakers @ 45w ea or is bridgeable to power just the fronts @ 90w ea like you said in your op.
