Default How powerful is the factory amp?

Does anybody know the RMS rating of the factory AU Ford amp?

Just got an 8" sub to fit in the factory shelf.......wondering if I can get away with powering it with the factory amp..........will have another amp put in to power the speakers......

Cheers, Dave.

I dont' think the factory amp is very powerful at all, maybe only 20Wrms. i have replaced the factory sub with a 8" pioneer flat free air sub and the amp struggles to drive it cleanly. thinking about putting in my alpine 2x45wrms (bridged to 110W) which i had driving 2 x 10" subs very well.
