I just a 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500. I came into this with a $300 budget(I know, I'm cheap). I found out I have a buddy who can order straight from Infinity, so the prices I am about to list are what he can get the speakers and amp for. That is the only reason I really added an amp, because before that expensive cable I was only a little over budget, the I added the cables...

Would this system I have right here even sound better then if I just went without an amp and let the headunit power the speakers? I know it will sound better, but is it $200 difference? I would love someone to convince me otherwise. and sorry if I'm asking this in the wrong place

Kenwood KDC-MP354U $130

Infinity Kappa 62.9i x 2 $72 total

Infinity Reference 475a Amp $105

RCA AH1450SN 14-Gauge 50 feet Speaker Wire $15

Monster MPC I304 4C-5M Extra Low Noise 4-Channel Car Stereo RCA Cables (5 meters) $40

DB Link PK4Z 4 Gauge Power Series Amplifier Installation Kit $25

Chevrolet Impala Speaker Brackets x 2 $30 total

Speaker Harnesses x 2 $20

GM Factory Integration Adapter $65. According to crutchfield if I lose my door chimes I can't pass inspection, so I "have" to have it.

shipping = $12

Total = $514

If I am missing anything, please let me know. Thanks for any help

It would also be easy to add an equalizer to have individual rca inputs for all of the channels. A decent one can be had for less than $40...

I agree with every one above. OFC is much better. Copper is a much better conductor than aluminum.
