Replacing everything

[ChrisAU]

All I know is that the amp is a 1000w Sony xplod and the sub, no clue. I'll go look real quick.

Found your problem.

Thread Starter ... What is your budget on this build ??

Well, I plan on keeping this truck forever. But im only 18 and my job barely pays for gas. But, Whatever I want to do to it, I usually find some way to do it

First thing I would start out with is a good electrical system to power a decent - to - Awesome Sound System ...

Getting the 2 battery setup under the hood (second battery tray on the drivers side out of a Diesel truck) and upgraded wiring to the Alternator, grounds, fusing, and to the amp rack location ... and if you plan on going BIG on this system, a possible battery bank in the bed of the truck ...
Then I would determine the Head unit you plan to run ... I personally recommend the Kenwood products ...
Then we can concentrate on product matching (one of my favorite options) on the rest of the system ...

Just by guessing, I'm thinking that the truck posted in you avitar is the one you are going to install the system in ...
Upgrading the electrical like I mentioned in the previous post will greatly upgrade your performance as a 4wd truck ... Stronger winch, towing, lighting, and the sound system ... I know there is more to list, but hopefully you get my point ...
I strongly recommend running 0ga/1awg cable through out this vehicle ... especially to your winch, and ALL your grounds ...
2 ga wire to the starter and electrical pannel ...
on my signature, you can click on my link to my chevy truck ... My "under the hood" modifications should be there for a reference ...

and before you get too deep into this stereo thing, you might want to think about Sound Deadning as you are installing products ...
just my susggestion here ...

Thats alot. How hard is it to rewire everything? And how expensive? Also how hard and expensive is sound dampening?

Could I wire up a second battery myself? Or would it be easier to just pay someone
