I bought a Alpine installed it and took it back the next day. Got a Pioneer and what a difference. All for about $30.00 dollars more. I do need speakers in the front doors. They are still stock and could use the improvement. The rears I had changed to Memphis speakers. The stock ones had the magnet fall off and was sitting on the bottom of the Quad door. Good luck come back and tell us how it went.

I agree with the Memphis speakers. I had a set of Fultrons(now Memphis Car Audio) in a '85 Ram and they sounded AWSOME!! They been doin car audio for along time (1964) and doing it right.

Ok, i think i have a system down that i am thinking of purchasing and installing. I would love your feedback and what i have chosen. I just want to make sure im going to have good sound when installed.

So my h/u is a Alpine cda-105(already purchased)
What im about to purchase is this.
1. Front doors-polk audio db5251 5.25 component http://www.crutchfield.com/p_107DB52...51.html?tp=106
2. Back Doors- polk audio db651 6.5 2 way http://www.crutchfield.com/p_107DB65...651.html?tp=95
3. Alpine MRP-F300 4 channel amp to power door speakers http://www.crutchfield.com/p_500MRPF...00.html?tp=115
4. 2 10" Thunder4500 subs enclosed in a MTX Amplified Thunderform enclosure. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_236DRX2...al.html?tp=113

What are your thoughts on this system for a 1998 Dodge Ram quad cab?

Thanks,
~Moon
