Should I? Amp on factory speakers

[MisterGrubbs 5,000+ posts]

I just got a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport 4x4 Quad Cab, factory Infinities, and it sounds pretty dern good...here's the question

Should I go ahead, run the dual amp kit, and put an amp on my factories as well as an amp on my two Memphis PR10's?

If you think I should amp the speakers, should I get a 4 channel or what? Because to be honest, I'm not sure if this system has tweeters or not, factory. It's all factory right now, either way. And also, considering it sounds decent as it is, and that I'm probably keeping the factory CD player - Should I just leave the speakers alone, or do you think that amping those Infinities would make that much of a difference? Just trying to get some ideas.

Thanks,

Ryan

yeah i would amp em, then later on if you upgrade to aftermarket speakers, they are amped.

Are you sure the 4 channel would work correctly? Like I said, I'm not sure if this package has the tweeters with it or not, but I'm kinda thinkin it does, even though it doesnt "tick" so to speak.

pull the door panels off and look.

If it has tweeters they are mounted in the dash, not in the door panels.

your stock setup prob has a 6 channel amp, youd run 4 off your amp and the tweets off factory

why not, its better than stock

By chance, anyone ever done an install on a new body style Dodge, quad cab? I was lookin at it just now, and I do believe I may can stick my amps behind the seats, which you have to take completely out just to get to...so they'd be concealed and no one would be able to take them, whatcha think? lol

As in - can it be done, or does anyone know?

many owners of trucks have mounted their amps under the rear seat, just make sure they get some air.

Naw man, I mean BEHIND the rear seat, the subs are going underneath the rear seat. Behind that seat, there is little air, so I'd be looking to find an amp that doesnt run very hot at all, I suppose, or with built in fans...
