you would have to search the threads, I don't remember it may even be an older item that they don't offer any more. as for upgrading the amp your best bet would be to mount the amp somewhere else and run wires into the rear door.

depends on how you are at that kind of stuff, you would need to run a power cable from the battery to wherever you are mounting the amp, you would need to run rca cables and remote wire from your head unit to wherever you are mounting the amp, you would need to "tap" a good ground near the amp, and then run your speaker wires from the amp into the back door. I mounted my power cable distribution block under the center console storage box, there was plenty of room there and you could probably fit a pretty small amp there. I removed my CD changer from under the passenger seat and mounted my amp there (tapped my ground in the floor at the back side of the seat), and ran my speaker wires back all without too much trouble. my sub box is where my passenger jump seat used to be so I didn't have to go into the door but it shouldn't be too much trouble do that.

one thing to remember is your grommet on the firewall that you will run power through is on the drivers side and your battery is on the passenger side so make sure you have enough power cable to go across the back of the engine well and then to wherever you mount your amp. This is why I mounted my power distribution block under the center console. I will eventually run an 8AWG power wire to the back and mount a fuse box back there so I can have extra power ports in the back for whatever I may need (spotlight, air compressor, or any other 12 volt camping or emergency supplies I may want to have back there)

what size are they?

you need 6.5" and I wouldn't go to much over 100 watts max, speakers will blow faster by under powering them than they will from over powering them
