Where's the amp (I have moon 'n tunes)

I could potentially just change out the amp and and some new mids and that'd work fine, right?

not really understanding your question.but the M&T amp is the black box under the passenger seat.
YES!I still visit GenVibe periodically. I have not forgotten about my "original" family over here!

I want to just put in a more powerful amp since that thing only does 200w max right? That means all the speakers are barely getting any power. So I change the amp and put in more powerful mids.

It does 200w max with 2 Ohm speakers, yes. So you could put in a more powerful amplifier and replace all the speakers.You cannot, however, simply 'drop' a new amp in. You will have to interface with the existing audio wiring or run new wires, and you will also have to run brand new power wires for the new amplifier, as the stock wiring will not be able to support anything other than the stock amp.Otherwise, yes, the stock radio should work fine with an aftermarket amplifier. Do NOT try to run an aftermarket amplifier with the stock M&T speakers unless you really know what you're doing and have the right amplifiers to handle the load.

That and the stock speakers suck and will probably blow. Might as well replace everything if you want to upgrade.
