[QUOTE="adamwsmith1980, post: 8350505, member: 664614"] Hey Guys, Need some advice on my build. I just traded in my 2003 ram with the infinity sound system. For a stock system in a truck, it wasn't really all that bad. It had tweeters up in the dash and the door speakers bumped. I just got a 2012 ram 1500 Big Horn and the stereo *****. Here is what i want. I'd like to keep my budget under $1K and have a system that is better than my 2003 ram infinity stock system. I'd like a little bit better bass, but not sure if thats possible without getting a sub. Head Unit: I have seen a lot of pics of the aftermarket HU installed and i hate how they look. I don't like the fact that they all have the two pieces of plastic on each side of the HU to fill the void. I found this and have heard decent reviews. The power output *****, so the solution is to just amp the speakers right? I love how this has an OEM fit to it. I could care less about name brand and would rather the stereo look like its supposed to be there as long as it doesn't drastically kill the ability to have a good sounding system [URL="http://radio-upgrade.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=280"]RAM 1500 2500 3500 Aftermarket GPS Navigation Car Stereo (2007-2012)[/URL] Here are a couple questions: 1. Does anyone know if i can swap out the 3.5" speakers in the dash and put tweeters from a component speaker up there?
