just researched the low vs high level inputs available on my soundstream and awnsered my own question... rca's from the hu to the 4 channel amp, wire back to the factory harness to the speakers. I love the google machine

So im adding alpine 6x9's, 6.5's and a sound stream amp to my F350 Crew Cab and am completely confused about how to wire it. I would like to use the factory wire from under the dash to the speaker to avoid threading new wire through the door, but have no idea how to do it. I have a Kenwood...

I dont really know what my budget is going to be, but i don't want to have anymore than $750 in the entire thing (buying used is defiantly an option) . Im not looking for a competition system, or crazy features. just a clean sound with a little bass. i was looking at some boston acoustics...
