    I'm a little confused. My 2013 double cab has 6 speakers. 2 rear, 4 front (the "tweeters" or whatever they're called now days).

    I'm considering purchasing something like these:

    Alpine KTP-445U Power Pack - 45w RMS x 4

    Clarion XC1410 - 50w RMS x 4


    I admittedly haven't bothered to pull the head unit to how things are set up. Do the four front speakers each have their own channel? Can I use one of the units above and just splice the front speakers in to the same channel? (meaning - the two left speakers together and the two right speakers togheter) I may also replace the speakers a couple of months down the road.

    Thanks. That's what I was guessing... but didn't want to order something and be wrong.

    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    You'll see a mild sound improvement but not much with stock speakers. I would invest in some new speakers when funds allow you too. Then you'll hear a difference.
