do you even car about subs, or do you just want good highs and mids. Kinda gotta know where you want to direct the most of the money toward.

new to car audio so forgive my ignorance.dont really care for a lot of bass,mostly nice clean sound with emphasis on imaging and soundstage.

local audio installer said he would not install the dash speakers because the were not needed .he recommends

the local dealer should know best...do you want subs under the rear and do you want good components up front, and one or two amps?

Well after having exp with stock driver location , proper imaging and stage placement means midrange kicks are a must . There is also plenty of room behind the seats in the back //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

With that kind of price range and wanting sound quality for a HU I would check into getting an Alpine W205 and a H701 processor. The truck comes stock with a double din unit correct? I would just rather fill the hole with another double din unit, and the W205 will give you good quality especially with the H701.

For a substage in most trucks mounting depth is the biggest killer, last ones I checked had some cubbies under the rear seat and would probably make a good place for subs but I don't know what sort of airspace you can get there or what mounting depth. Get some measurements and some reasearch on what you can fit. How much custom fab work do you want for your imaging up front, kickpanels will probably be necessary as stated above.

The dash is a DIN and a Half unless equipped with factory Navigation....But he could purchase the double DIN Bezel from Dodge for about $100.00 ...If he wants to run a double DIN

 

[Polecat 5,000+ posts]

true, DIN and a half, depending on addon, does the $4000 include radio/tuner/CD?

 

[tadpole132]

will definately be running double din.looking at eclipse 5495,pioneer z2 and alpine products.all with nav.

 

[tadpole132]

yes. 4000.00 app. for everything
