[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8748702, member: 614752"] If that truck is a completely new design you may find it difficult to find anything by way of wire pigtails or dash replacement kits for a while. Aftermarket parts come out slowly after new revisions and I expect pretty soon they may not come out at all except for the most popular selling models of vehicles what with the complexity of current generation factory systems. JL and several other companies make units that are basically really fancy LOCs (line out converters) that you can connect to your factory speaker outs from the head unit and convert to RCA. Many of these options have plenty of other processing features. I'm not current on what's out there, but Audison, Rockford, JL, and JBL all used to make them and I suspect still do. I avoid those bounced off the windshield dash mount speakers. I have only once heard anybody get them to sound good and blend well. If your doors have a spot for 6x9 you can do plenty with just a good pair of 6x9 components in the doors. I'd vouch for the JBL Stadium as being very nice if you don't mind spending a bit, but I'm sure other companies have similar price/performance offerings. [/QUOTE]
