Hi folks I have a fast question..I have a 2000 Mont Carlo SS...A friend gave me a 600 watt amp...150 a channel....I replaced all the speakers in the car with Alpine....For the love of god I cannot find a factory amp in the trunk...Is it possible that it didnt come with a amp....Is right under ther deck between the two rear speakers can it be seen from in side the trunk cause I dont see nuttttttin.....Thank in advance Greg

 

it would be between those rear speakers. least thats where they are in my sisters 05 impala and my 06 monte. some didnt come with amps however so you mayb in luck. having that stock amp i had to rewire the whole car and run new wires from the new radio to all new speakers and the new alpine amp im powering my speakers with to get a 4ohm load. the stock amps setups are at 2ohms. if you have the time run all new wires youll get more quality out of a 12 or 14 gauge speaker wire anyway rather than the little 16 or 18 gauge that the manufacturer runs throughout the cars system.

 

it should be under the rear deck, it can be seen from the trunk, but im not sure if they had stock amps right away in the first year of the 6th gens

 

Im starting to lean towards that there is no amp in the trunk....I dont see nothing but magnet comming tought the rear deck...

 

it should be inbetween both magnets, so my guess is you don't have one, its just straight off the stock receiver

 

Question....if you have an aftermarket amp and new speakers, why are you concerned with the factory amp?

 

he probably wants to remove it and get something for it.

since you have a 2000 you do not have to worry about a stock amp tho
