does anyone know, if to replace the speakers in the back doors if it is a matter of just connecting the wires to the new speakers? I know on the front ones i had to move the amps to the new speckers.

I ran new wires to my back speakers when I did them. Couldn't get the stock wires to work right.

Running new wires isn't hard. Unbolt the little trim thing on the floor when you open the door and tuck them under there and run it back to the other door. Them peel that trim off enough to get the wire in and run it through the rubber wire protector between the door and the cab.

Of course the wires back there might work, especially if you didn't have the infinity system

Did you ever get your build sheet? https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...-my-truck.html

I removed my Infinity system, to an extent. Kept the factory tweeter. Added a component system (Rockford Fosgate) to the front doors and new speakers to the rear (Polk).

Kept the factory amp and tweeter.

Added an AMP that is under driver seat. It wires directly to rear doors and single 8" sub under driver bench.

All the stuff from Crutchfield circa 2005. Still running great. Have replaced the sub 1x. I would like a bigger amp though.

How far have you gotten with this?





Vaughn's reply is dead nuts accurate here.

an amp is all about power watts and number of channels, so find out what the Infinity amps are rated at (rms, not peak). i don't know what they are, but if they happened to be 50 watts rms each, that's not bad. power is power. the Infinity amps also have a cross-over thingy which diverts the higher frequency to the pillar tweeters (if you like those). i personally don't like them chirping the highs in my face.
