hey guys im interested in adding some new sound to my truck...A dodge dakota 2006 with 2 doors. I changed the 4 stock speakers to 6.5" sony xplod. I want a little more deeper bass, so i figured i could add a subwoofer. My questions are do i need an amplifier to make all of this work, do i need an enclosure or box for the subwoofer, do u think this will sound good? and do i need a new head unit? here is what i would have....(the four sony xplod speaker) http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4541646
and this is the sub i wanthttp://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_3412_Kicker+05CVR84.html

Couple things.



1). Stock speaks probably sound better than explodes.
2). If you want additional bass an amp for it is inevitable.
3). Box for sub? Yup. Free air and bass don't compute. You'll need a shallow mount if it's going under or behind seats.
4). 99.9% of everyone here will tell you to save and save some more.





It's always a shame to see one good component paired with two stooges. (Meaning a good HU and poor speaks and subs or visa versa).



Not to mention if you're going to be upgrading your charging which I'm guessing not, you'll need wire and fuses and a HO alt ect......



Oh. (here it comes fellas)



Budget?
