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
