[QUOTE="hirez24, post: 8755810, member: 683600"] Hi All, Brand new to the forum, have not wired a car stereo in at least 10 years. I have a 2017 Dodge Durango that I would like to upgrade, it has the beats audio package which I think could use a lot of work. I would like to keep the stock radio (I will be retro fitting a 2018 Durango uacnav 8.4 radio to gain apple car play but that is the easy part) I know my system has an amplifier in the rear panel which I would like to replace with something else preferably something with DSP I will be changing the stock speakers to something better. I believe the system in its current form has 9 speakers locations fed by 6 amplifier channels. (please cporrect me if any of this is wrong) The front doors have a channel each 1-2 The center (dash) is its own channel 3 the rear doors and rear pillars are fed from two channels 4-5 and the sub under the storage lid in the back has the last channel 6 What I don't know is how I go about adding the amp which will probably be a better 6 channel amp with some sort of dsp built in 1. does the head unit have standard line outs or do i need some sort of converter box to intercept the can bus to get the line out 4/5 volt to the new amplifier. 2. does any one know if the power feeding the current amp will be sufficient to power a new moderate 6 channel amp (40 to 100 watts a channel maybe) My main goal here is to have accurate sound not loud per say, I was looking at the focal line on crutchfield with a new 8 inch sub to replace the stock one under the storage panel in the back ( I want to maintain a completely stock look) I prefer silk dome tweeters to metal dome but could be persuaded otherwise. based on preliminary research my Budget will be roughly $1500 for speakers and amp with accessories, though I would prefer to pay much less any guidance, tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated TIA [/QUOTE]
