[QUOTE="rotwiler, post: 8672726, member: 676867"] I have a 2013 Ram Quad Cab, nothing special, is just a budget setup. I had the Alpine system from factory and 8.4 inch radio. I replaced all speakers with 2ohm(actually are 2.4 ohm) interior speakers with jbls except headliner running off the OEM amp. Sound deadened and closed cell foam on all door panels. I have a 1100 watts rms mono Amp stable to 2ohm. I'm running a Amp pro ch41 to the amp for subwoofer signal. Under rear seat I have a custom homemade fiberglass dual 12 box with total airspace undivided of 1.7cf. Is pretty tall so seats are lifted as high as possible with headrest. I had 2 subs in there and due to basket shape it hit side of lower box, so for quick bass I just put in some $40 400 watts rms pioneer champions to get me by until I can decide on what I need and they actually sound good, but really low bass is not perfect, but does hit hard and sounds good for what it is.
