[QUOTE="Medictrode, post: 8666881, member: 663466"] In case anyone was wondering..(Likely not, but it's nice to have a followup in case anyone else has the same questions)... I got the install done on my 2017 RAM 2500. I got the Fox box ported dual 12 Box and used to Kicker Comp R's..For fronts I used my Mbquart Separates and coaxials for the back. I plan on getting Focals or Morels soon, but spent enough on the rest so I re used these from my last truck. All 4 doors were given sound deadening, and those foam speaker rings as well. For Amps I went with the Audio control D-4.800 which takes care the the DSP and the fronts/rears. I ran 12Ga wire which was a bit overkill, but I had a 500 foot roll, and that fast wire stuff from the head to the amp for input. The sub Amp is the Rockford P500X, which is turned on and signal fed from the Audio control amplifier. Power wire was ran under the truck and came up behind the rear seat. I used 1 Gauge which split into 2-4 Gauge wires. Both amps were mounted to a piece of PVC board on the back wall. I used threaded inserts on the back wall, and screwed the panel in with 1/4-20 hex head bolts. The back wall also was given a few sheets of sound deadening. As far as integrating into my factory radio, it was super simple.
