Default need help from pros please

hey all, need a little help from audio pros here. see i bought this car, 4th gen lude, and it came with aftermarket tweeters, front speakers (inside door panels), rear speakers and an amp. the previous owner took his subwoofers where the amp was connected to. im just wondering, since he left the amp, could i just hook up the front and rear speakers on it and if i do would the sound be any better? here are the models and some info about them from internet hehe: front speakers: alphasonik Z series PCZ50 (2-way, 100 watts rms, 35Hz - 25kHz), rear speakers: alphasonik Z series PFZ525 (2-Way ,120 Watt RMS, 65 Hz - 22 kHz), Amp: Kicker impulse power amplifier Ix254(Multi Channels, Bridgable, RMS Power at 4 Ohms=25 W x 4, RMS Power at 2 Ohms=35 W x 4) Teeters: just say Z series on a box where wires are hook up to. thanks for helping out

No. You'd be better off getting rid of the amp. It barely puts out more power than the hu itself...

Ditto the above^^^
If anything I would bridge it into a 2ch amp and connect only to the front speakers, that will get you 2x65W RMS into 4 ohms @12.5V.
Still only about 50% of what you should have for the fronts, but better then just HU power. 94

No. This is also a bad idea. That amp you have is not meant to power a sub at all, it outputs almost no power.
You should:
1. Get a sub you like.
2. Get a new amp that can power/slightly overpower the sub.
3. Obtain a box of correct(ish) dimensions for the sub.
4. Install new system.
