Whats up everyone, i am getting a dodge ram 1500 crew cab in a few months for my 16th birthday. I was wondering if anyone could help me find some decent speakers that bump nice and clean. I have a $800 budget atm. i don't know if that's enough or what. i just want it to be loud enough to compare to my friends. I don't want a phony sounding sound system lol. Please help and ill give rep! Thanks!!

Well do you want your backseat to be used or do you want to put subs on it...
If you want a factory look you will probably not have a better system than a car since the subs will have to fit underneath of your rear seat. You will have to order a special box to fit underneath of it. These subs are shallower than a more performing sub so they will fit with the seat down.

I order all of my audio equipment from [url]crutchfield.com[/url]

Go ahead and give it a look, they have low-high range subs, amps, stereos in almost all brands.

If you have questions reply here or PM me.

If your truck is the same as mine, the bench is in two pieces.

The passenger side lifts up the middle and that side of the seat. There is a crack and the driver side is single. You could put a decent 12"sub on the floor with the driver side seat folded up.

Then flip up the double seat and through a box that'll hold 2 twelves in it on the floor on that side. Not sure if you wanna blow your whole budget, but building a box or having someone you know build it will save lots. Look up crutchfield.com

I order all my audio stuff from there. If you want really good subs, I would recommend Rockford Fosgate. Get 12" subs. You can decide on how much you want to spend. Also, get a Rockford Amp. I've been using the same Rockford Amp for over 5 years with mulitple different setups and its still running great! Rockford is a little pricey, but they last and the quality is unreal.

i may just save up a little more even after i get the truck and come back and ask so im fully determined what i want. But i may save up for a $1800+ setup that way it will sound beautiful. I will keep your username in mind though if i have questions.
