    The speakers in my signature fit.

    The RNS-E unit only powers the front speakers, the rear speakers are powered by an amp in the trunk area. I would suggest running all to an aftermarket amp, however that much more work.

    In terms of power, its rated at 15A total. That means it cannot possibly provide more than 180W peak.

    As you can see, any speakers will work, as long as they're the correct size, and IIRC 4Ohm.

    You can replace them with 6.5" speakers, the best way to do that is slice out the inside or the original cone, and install your new speakers into the OEM door speaker housing.

    Yes, for the whole amp. Thats current draw at 12V, = 15A. Thats when the fuse blows, so its actually less. Then you take what, 30% off for electrical losses and you have your power at rms essentially. The amp and RNSE probably each output at the speakers a max across all four at 100W, or 50W per speaker. I would get bigger. What is your budget.

    Just replace all 4 with new speakers. Dont change the wiring or amp in your case.

    I'd just connect an aftermarket amp and sub. You can build a basic unit for 130usd and it will sound far better. The cheap hifonics sub sound good and are cheap. Not dummy boomy but good quality sound in a sealed boxed.

    For the amp, you want a monoblock amp. Do you have sonicelectronix out there in Europe? You can sort by price and look at the reviews there. I bought an amp that was on sale for 60 bucks and pushed 350watts on my voltmeter.

    Boss is cheap and they over rate their output, but they do work well. Look at planet audio too.

    At the end of the day, you want to measure watts doing into the sub using a voltmeter, not the specs on the spec sheets.

    How do you measure watts from an amplifier using a voltmeter?

    Okay if you removed your stock amp, you need a two channel amp. I would have left the stock amp in and have tapped into the signal to the amp and ran a separate amp for the sub.

    Ah! You are actually measuring volts. That makes more sense.

    Im not sure i understand you.Now I dont have the original amp and subwoofer.The cables that connect radio with the amp is not there too.I need new cables from the RNS-e to the trunk.What is the best option for me :
    - Original Amp and woofer
    - Aftermarket amp with original woofer and aftermarket speakers for the doors
    - Aftermarket everything

    If you want to do it correctly, here is how you should do it:

    - A proper head unit with front/rear and sub output, I would not use the RNS-e but it's your choice.

    - 6 1/2 component speaker for front door only, no need for rear speakers if running a subwoofer.

    - 2 channel amp for the component speakers

    - mono block amplifier for the subwoofer.

    You dont need new wiring for the front doors, you just need to run rca, sub control wired from front to back , and power wire for the amp.

    Go here caraudio.com and ask for some help about putting together a system in your car and do a bit of reading as well.
