Should I?

You have probably already figured this out, but you will need:

1. Speaker adapters for the front doors. Not sure about the rear, I just left the stock ones and fade most of the way to the front, just use them for ambience.
2. Bezel kit for the radio
3. Amp install kit (big wires, RCA connectors, that kind of stuff)
4. Speaker wire
5. Some minor fabrication skills to do the tweeters

You obviously know where Crutchfield is.

Bridge one side of the amp to power the sub, power the front with the other side, and use the head unit to power the rear.

It's a pretty easy job, once I had my sub box built it took maybe 4 hours to install everything. Spent the most time on the tweeters.

 

Thanks...

Yeah...first I need to get my surround for the dash of the truck. Where do you guys usually get yours from?

 

I shop at woofersetc.com and onlinecarstero.com since they ship to Canada and have a good selection

 

just pulled the amp out of the car, the remote wire, the ground , power and RCA's. Got all the door panels out of the truck, all the speakers out. Next will come the stock radio out. I am going to make my own speaker adapters. I guess I need to start ordering some things.

 

sweet....I now have another just el cheapo amp my buddy at work just gave me. I will be running my PG components on my concept...

and my el cheapo amp to my sub....its 2 channels at 50 watts rms per channel at 4ohm. If i bridge it, what does that mean? 100 watt rms mono at 4ohm?

It says its bridgeable but didnt give me the specs for that option.

 

my fun car has a very minimal sound system. My truck has a full blown overhaul with everything because the truck is my daily driver. my 2 cents

 

i purchased a double din touchscreen tonight with built in bluetooth. I decided to not worry about HD radio or one with satellite radio ability. If I want that, ill just hook up my phone to it. I do have the option of nav though. Has 3 preouts and any thing else I could need.

 

well I am taking the touchscreen I got back...Its a Jensen...has a lot of features for the price, but I am just kind of iffy on the quality...so before I install...i ended up ordering the one I wanted at first and am just having it shipped.
Going Pioneer now instead.

 

made my rear speaker mounts tonight and mounted up the 5 1/4" infinity in the rear so I can have a little sound until I get done with the rest of the stuff and since its gonna be powered by deck power anyway. Honestly sounds decent for just the stock HU at the moment with the new rears. Tomorrow im gonna work on making my mounts for the front components.
