dealers wont give the kbb trade in value. they give the current wholesale auction value. why would they give more than what they can get the same vehicle at auction my guess is it appeared they gave you kbb by cutting into their profit on the new vehicle. theyre making a ton of money on this employee pricing thing. i bought my 2004 last summer and paid about $1500 less than the current employee price. you did better than me. i figure i saved about $1000 less than employee discount on my 05 last feb. roy .

no a 50 would not be enough to run all your speakers and a sub too even in a tri-way set up. you would have to have a second larger amp to run the sub or buy a 4 or 5 channel amp to run them all.. i would go with mtx over fosgate i personally have had a lot of problems with fosgate but never a one with my mtx.. the thunder bridged would run an 8 or 10 sub with no problem by itself. with a 2 channel running your speakers what you will run into is that you will loose either your fade or balance due to how you will have to wire the speakers. a 4 channel will prevent that.. a 5 channel will run the speakers and a sub. other brands bazooka alpine kicker and all good amps that will be on the lower cost side.. azwiley1 wrote most any brand 2 to 4 channel amp will do you just find in this application. stay away from jensen and other wal-mart brands. i would not recommend anything that is more then about 50 watts per channel as you are only looking to run your speakers and not a sub. 50 will be clean and powerful enough. thanks larry. i do want to add a sub later. is 50 watts enough for that crutchfield has a mtx thunder282 70x2 and a rockford fosgate punch 201s 50x2 both are tri-way capable and in my price range. is 70x2 overkill im not out to win any boom competitions but i find the factory system is lacking in bass at moderate volume levels so the sub is going to happen in the future. extra for a name on the box. new rear speakers and a sub will be added later so expandability is a consideration. any amp and speaker recommendations -- .

i have a 99 dodge ram quad cab with the infinity 6 speaker sound system 4 speakers/2 tweeters. the head unit is an am/fm/cd/cass 1.5 din with steering wheel controls. this system has an amp integrated in each front door speaker. the right front door speaker quit working. i swapped the right and left front door speakers and the problem followed the speaker so the hu or wiring is not my problem. i dont want to lay out $187.00 for a speaker to restore a factory sound system. its upgrade time. i want to keep the hu tweeters and rear speakers and replace the front door speakers with some decent aftermarket ones. i know the factory hu wont drive the system without adding an amp but im clueless about amps. i want to keep the cost reasonable for a clean sound quality at a moderate level. ill spend the money where i need to but i dont want to pay extra for a name on the box. new rear speakers and a sub will be added later so expandability is a consideration. any amp and speaker recommendations -- ken .
