I have a 04' ram quad cab with the cheapy system in it. I am trying to hook up my subs and amp, as well as plan for future door speaker upgrades. I have not installed a new stereo yet, am still looking for a descent (low price w/ remote amp out and rca out, w/ descent sub control).

Is the so-called-amp only in the infinity system? i tore my dash all to heck and couldn't see anything, unless it's behind the airbag. I thought it would make things easier if i could tap off the remote/common for my sub amp (for now) instead of trying to cut/splice and stuff. I know i don't need to do any of that with a new deck...

So when i install a new deck, i will have my subs hooked up & working no problem. But when i install my door speakers w/ amp, can i bypass the amp, if there is one? or can i route the existing speaker wire (toss an rca adapter on em') and plug them into my new door speaker amp...?

BTW my sub info:
2 kicker vr comps 12"
eclipse 2/1 amp
any suggestions on a descent deck?

There isn't an amp on the cheapy system, only the infinity system

 

They wont amp crap sepakers, so your all set bro.

 

Awesome, that will save me some time.
