I need some help coming up with a system. I am buying an 07 Dodge Ram QC and want to upgrade the stereo. I would prefer to keep the stock H/U as it has Sirrus Radio and is not the standard size. Mainly what I want to do is to improve sound with quality speakers and add some bump...nothing outrageous.
My plan is to upgrade the stock speakers (2 6x9s and 2 6.5s), add an amp or two depending on your reccomendations, and a 10-12" sub. I want to do all of this as cheaply as possible.
Here is what I have found so far:
H/U - stock....it doesnt have preamp outputs but I can do a line level input right?
Amp(s) - Phoenix Gold R5.0 - Woofers etc has it for 109.99
http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=445
Its 80W X 4 which is pretty high given that I see most door speakers are in the
50ish RMS range right? So can I somehow use this to power the 6x9 and the
Sub or what should I do...I hat not to get this amp b/c it seems like a good amp
w/ lots of power for not alot of money...
Do I get this amp to just run the 4 door speakers and get a separate mono
channel amp for the sub? Any reccomendations
Does anyone know if I can use this amp without RCAs?
SubWoofer - Kicker Comp VR 12" $69.00 400 RMS
I plan to mount the sub under the rear passenger seat....
Any reccomendations as to door speakers, extra amp, etc
Also are the amps / speakers /etc made by____________ any good
Alphasonix / Boss /Pyramid / MA Audio / Pyle
These seem to all be new since I last built a system many years ago.
Thanks
Doug
