Adding small amplifier to existing TH stereo
Hey guys, I am wanting to add a very small conservative and efficient amplifier to my existing Sony head unit in my '08 WW FS2500 Superlite TH to get a better clean sound from the two outside speakers...

I believe the amp being mentioned uses a 30amp inline fuse. Doesn't mean it pulls 30amps in normal use. It's 25w X 4 @ 4 ohms or 50w X 4 @ 2 ohms.
If your stereo is a typical car stereo then you'll want to rewire and use the low level outputs from your stereo to the amp. Then wire the amp speaker outputs to your switch leaving the wiring from the switch to the speakers intact. It will then work exactly the same as it does now.
Make sure your speakers are the proper impedance for the amp and can handle 25w. As for 2 vs 4 channel it depends on how your current system is wired. Is the switch putting the speakers in parallel to have both inside and outside on? Or is it connecting the stereo out to each speaker? May have to pull the switch and stereo to see how things are wired.
