Question by : What should i do for my trucks sound system?
Probably a noob question but ill ask anyway. I have a 98 dodge dakota with 4 blown speakers. i want new ones but i also want to throw a sub in if possible. So what about the amplifiers? Do i need one of those as well? And how hard would all this be to wire in? Any recommendations on what i should get will be helpful. I’m on a slight budget as well, thanks.

Front Door: 6-3/4″
Behind Seat: 5-1/4″

all subs will need an amplifier because there is no radio that has the needed RMS wattage to properly power them
you will also need a box that is small enough to fit in your truck then you will need to find speakers that are a good match for the box after that you can look for an amplifier

info needed to PROPERLY match amps and subs
the subs voice coil setup (DVC or SVC)
the subs impedance (ohms)
the final impedance at the amp (how the subs are wired)
the number of subs
the subs RMS (continuous) wattage
or
the model numbers

when it comes to car audio nine times out of ten you get what you pay for- and you need to look for CEA-compliant brands which means that the amps have been tested and produce or exceed the advertised RMS wattage with minimum distortion and the subs can handle their advertised RMS wattage also (distortion is the main cause of speaker damage over time)
just because the amp says 300watts does not mean it really has 300watts and all you care about is the RMS wattage not the peak/max wattage http://www.ce.org/Standards/3108.asp
here are the top CEA-compliant brands
Alpine (highly recommend)
Blaupunkt (don’t like their subs)
Cerwin Vega
Clarion
Eclipse
Infinity (highly recommend)
JBL
JL Audio (very good but over priced)
Kenwood (don’t like their subs)
Kicker (the best in my opinion)
MTX (highly recommend)
Orion
Pioneer
Polk Audio (highly recommend)
Rockford Fosgate (highly recommend)
Sony (don’t like their subs)

What is wrong with my trucks sound system?

Question by karate09: What is wrong with my trucks sound system?
My truck is an 1988 Ford Ranger. I bought it about 2 months ago. When I bought it I could turn the volume on the radio up to 12 and here could hear it really good, then one day I was listening to the radio and the sound just went away and stayed away for about 4 or 5 days then suddenly it came back again but it wasn’t as loud as it used to be. I would have to turn the sound up to 28 just to get it as loud as it used to be when would put it on 12. What do you think is wrong with my sound system and how do I fix it?

I would say the amp in the head unit is going bad if u replace that it should be good. Or it could possible be a bad connection in the wires.
