Do I need a bigger amp?

Thanks to Washington weather I don't do a lot of driving with the top down, but I feel like I have enough volume with 50w RMS and a powered sub to be satsified. No factory amp though, so I'm getting the full spectrum through dash and door speakers, both sets of speakers replaced with infinity reference, nothing too fancy.

I don’t know if the 40w the Porsche amp is supposed to be pushing is RMS or peak. By the lack of volume I’d bet it’s peak.
