[QUOTE="sussD01, post: 7570912, member: 622015"] Thanks everybody for the quick responses! Joseph, -I'm looking at the 2012 Ram 1500, but if the dealership happens to come up with a well-priced 2011, then I might snatch that up instead. -The guy I spoke to at the shop convinced me to keep the stock HU, which I actually thought was a decent idea so long as I throw a good amp in there. -I would imagine they would put in some door deadening, but it didn't come up the other day. Is that a no question sort of move? -The shop also suggested I just go with the 2 front speaker 6.5s and then sub(s) in the back. Does that help narrow anything down?
