Is it radio or speakers that need to be replaced in Dodge Dakota?

Give them this code and they'll take $20 off your order:

And depending on your location, you'll likely also save the sales tax -- which is another 7-8 percent. Just sayin.

Trust me, you are gonna want to replace the stock speakers as well, they suck, and will most likely blow your already really old speakers when the stereo is installed. I was down to one before I finally replaced the whole system. I think I spent $300 total on the head unit and four speakers. Took about half a day to do the whole thing correctly. It's easy.

I used Alpine 6x9 in the rear and Kenwood 6.5 in the front. I got them on sale at Best Buy and they were cheaper than the regular priced cheapy speakers from Autozone. Had to do a little cutting to get the 6x9's in but they are solid and can't see them. If it had an amp it would thump but it gets the job done very nicely anyway.
