[QUOTE="Loud(ish)_Geo, post: 8736385, member: 680843"] In terms of finding speakers I would measure out your mounting depth because most brands will have it listed, but with the ohm rating, you should be able to run 4 ohms just fine off the factory headunit they just won't be quite as loud tho(general rule is that you shouldn't go below the recommended impedance but going up shouldn't mess anything up). Then just stick with better known brands once you find the mounting depth (pioneer, polk, focal, kenwood, JVC, JL, kicker...) In terms of amplifiers I have a car with a 4 channels and a mono and another car with one a mono subwoofer amp and it very much comes down to person preference. If you want you car to get really loud get both. If you want it too be mediocrely loud and still balanced I would get a mono sub amp only but I'd stay 350 watts and below assuming that since it's a truck it's gonna be slim subs anyways, and if you just like bass and don't car quite as much about mids and highs being equally loud, I'd go 500watts+ with most subs. I'm definitely not an expert and the wattage numbers I gave you are extreme generalization and very much still depend on your sub/enclosure but it should get you around where you need to be [/QUOTE]
