Ha, sure why not?!

with the infinity amp pushing them or an aftermarket amp?

I'm a little confused, do our trucks come stock with an infinity amp?

I also have an infinity dual voice coil 1200 watt sub I would like to put in, but I'm not sure if I'd rather keep it all Kicker... The Mopar Kicker 10" sub that fits under the left rear seat is only 200 watts and it's kinda pricey.

the infinity "upgrade" was an option for our truck mostly put into the laramies and higher option sports. it was a joke of a system and i was embarrassed to listen to it. i bypassed everything from the factory so if you wanna take the infinity amp out of my truck just let me know. you do all the work(nicely) and its yours. i would look to an aftermarket amp for upgraded speakers

Do you mean on the 3rd gens? I thought alpine was the only premium speaker option on the 4th gens. My '03 had the infinity system in it, it was okay. I plan to pick up an amp, I just need a smaller one than the monstrosity of one I have now, IT'S HUGE! haha

New speakers are going to sound great. I would definitely go aftermarket on the sub and amp, not the Mopar option...

Yeah, it sounds awesome! The added bass has some components rattle in a couple of the door panels, but other than that I'm really happy with it.

Matt,
I have a lanzar MAX MX282 2 channel, 2400 watt amp. I'd like something a little smaller in size that has an output of at least 300 watts rms @ 4 ohms resistance to push my infinity reference 12. Got anything like that?

I meant to document the install with pics but considering my daughter was going to wake up from her nap in an hour I couldn't. Although, the interior looks no different besides the little KICKER badges I need to still put on the speakers themselves look 100 times better than the stockers. Also, I glance at the back of one the stock 6x9's and it was 15 watts! lol

my 07 has the the full infinity system(minus the sub) and 6 disc changer. im actually very disappointed. it has no balls. highs and mids are clear with the volume cranked, but the bass isnt there.id really love to upgrade but i dont know really what to get thats not insanely expensive. id like to put some alpine type r's in it or some kickers. thoughts?

you're only going to add midbass ... just so you understand that and since you have infinity system you're still going to go through the amp so the crossovers are set for the infinity speakers ... so even putting in some alpines you won't gain THAT much midbass bc the factory system is still limiting the bass output .. what you need to do is just buy a small sub and amp ideally bc no speakers are going to give you enough lows .. . just midbass

Yep, that's why I did the Kicker speakers, just for midbass and higher. I'm currently installing an infinity reference 12 with a Kicker 500 watt monoblock amp.

my buddys is selling two kicker 2500.1 amps for $400 each

not sure anyone is looking for anything that big or not biggest system i ran was in my tahoe with Fi 15" BTLs and 7500watts. he is selling his kickers to upgrade his yukon up to the 10,000watt range just cause he wants louder than mine lol

ya wish he would respond to this .. bc last i knew he had an aq 3500 there's only a few amps that can make 5k+ and unless he has a bank 8+ of batteries his voltage is dropping stupid low and not getting peak out of the amp ... a 7500 watt amp is rated most of the time at 14.4 volts if you're dropping to 10 volts bc your electrical isn't up to snuff you have lost over 2200 watts right there many people think the way to get really loud is just keep throwing power and subs in ... when the box and electrical are as if not more important lol
