No matter what sources they come from, armor bonuses cannot stack beyond +25. That said, if you have a single skill that pushes you past that limit, it will work.
Ex:
With "I Am Unstoppable!" you get +24 armor. With Armor of Earth at 0 Earth Magic you get +24 armor. Using them together, you get +25 armor.
But if your Earth Magic is at, say, 12, you will get +53 armor from the enchantment. If you also use "I AM Unstoppable!" in this circumstance, you will still only get +53 armor.

where did you find this info on +25 max stack? do the armor mods and weapon modes stack with skills that increase AL?

Yes, exactly as Senrath said. Armour bonuses from Insignias, weapons and shield still work.
Take an Ele, for example.
Basic Armour: 60
Geomancer's Insignia: 10 vs Elemental, 10 vs Earth
Shield Equipped: 16 if req is met, 8 if not
Melee Weapon: 7 vs Elemental
Therefore, your total armour rating vs Earth damage is (shield requirement not met): 60+10+10+8+7=75
Any armour bonus coming from ANY other source will add up to provide a max of an additional 25 Armour.
75+25=100 (vs Earth damage)
However, the exception is if one enchantment, stance or skill provides a greater armour bonus that 25 Armour. In this case, the highest armour rating from (enchantment, stance or skill) takes effect.
Therefore, at Earth 16, a lone Ele can have a maximum armour bonus against earth damage:
Max armour: 60
Geomancer's Insignia: 10 (vs Elemental), 10 (vs Earth)
Kinetic Armour: 84
Martial Weapon of Warding: 7 (vs Elemental)
Shield with requirement equipped: 16
Shield Inscription "Like a Rolling Stone": 10 (vs Earth)
This provide an armour rating of 197 without the use of any blessing or consumables.
Any earth damage dealt will be reduced to:
Level 20 Foe: 9.31%
Level 30 Foe: 15.66%
Hope this helps.

If several skills are used which bypass this cap (for example Kinetic Armor and Armor of Earth at high attribute levels), only the skill with the highest armor bonus will apply.
