Upgrading Factory Subwoofer - Stock Amp/Sub Output/Wattage?
I am researching several different methods of adding a little more punch to the audio system of my 2009 TSX (without Navigation). One of the potential solutions is to upgrade the factory subwoofer with a higher quality unit. However, this bring with it the question of whether the factory amplifier would provide enough power to supply the aftermarket subwoofer?
What are the specifications on the factory amplifier and subwoofer?
- Wattage to subwoofer channel?
- Subwoofer wattage rating?
- Subwoofer frequency response?
- Subwoofer resistance (ohms)?
Any information you can provide to me would be extremely helpful. Thank you in advance!

For those that are also seeking this information I received an answer on another Forum (Honda-Tech).
The wattage on the subwoofer is only 20W RMS and 40W MAX. The resistance on the Factory subwoofer is 4 ohms (which I had an opportunity to verify this morning)
