Getting into the speaker game

[MasonAB]

I own a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 and now trying to give it some more character. This model specifically has a 7 speaker system of which I plan on replacing 6 of (don't care to change the middle dash). I have a good idea on wiring the system and what is good and what is bad when it comes to quality and bang for your buck but I was in need of some assistance from some seasoned audio veterans. I plan on buying (2) 3 1/2, (2) 5 1/4, (2) 6 1/2, and rig up a dual subs. I planned on building a box for under the back seats for the subs and there is a good amount of room around the car for hiding amps and wiring. My question to you guys is of there is anyone on this forum that would be willing to help me out with building a quality system for around 500-700 dollars. I have done some window shopping and extensive research but having someone who really knows what they are doing would be very helpful. Thanks!

I'd add a JBL ms-8 before doing anything if you just want your music to sound phenominal. If you want louder, you'll only need to replace the front components and put an amp to them.
