    Help with components

    I need some advice:

    I have a dodge dually 3500 quad cab 2001
    and I want to upgrade the system to give me some bass and be good sounding..

    I have roughly $1,200.00 dollars to spend.

    H.U.
    I want to play mp3,cd, and any other cool jazz it can do...

    amp
    want to power the four speakers and sub

    speakers
    I want to change the door speakers [front,back]
    any ideas on good component speakers

    sub

    looking at mtx 10" thunderform... enclosure...

    let me know what ideas I can take advantage of, and what brands..

    I have one inch tweeters on the side, going up the windshield...
    I dont think the system is infinity cause it sounds very crappy...

    let me know what you think

    Want good commponent Speakers? Get Alpine, or JL Audio.

    Want good Bass? Get MTX8500 Subwoofers

    all this will cost you about 800, so try to get a good amp at a good price.
    MTX Amps will do the job fine.
    Rockford Amps are great
    Audiobahn Amps are good aswell.
    Alpine
    JL Audio (got money?)

    DO NOT GET
    Pyramid <-- for idiots
    Sony < -- -- Will blow up
    Kenwood <- - - Good but Gets raw sound after some time (Friends)


    If you want an amp that will work great but cost you less
    Power Acoustiks
    Hifotronics

    HU: Clarion DXZ545MP ($250) http://www.clarion.com/usa/product/i...oduct=DXZ545MP

    Amp: MTX Thunder 684 ($250) http://www.mtx.com/caraudio/products...thunder684.cfm

    Sub: Adire Koda 10 ($230) http://www.adireaudio.com/TextPages/...eFrameText.htm

    Components: JL XR650-CSi ($230) http://www.jlaudio.com/evolution/XR650CS.html

    Just go with the front components, no reason to have 4 speakers in a Quad cab, it's not big enough to really warrant spending the extra money on. A single set of components up front with a sub in the back will be more than enough for you. Run the speakers off the front 2 channels of the amp, and bridge the rear channels to drive the sub.
    Life: It's the ultimate sin; a game with no rules that you're expected to win
