    Lightbulb I need help setting up my system

    I'm upgrading all the audio in my 2008 ford F-150 crewcab and I dont know what type of amp to get, I'm keeping the stock radio, I'm replacing the speakers with four 6×8 kenwood speakers with 360watts peak and 80 watts rms and they are 4ohm. I dont want to underpower my speakers, so can you please tell me what type of amp will get them to there full potential

    There is a new Kenwood XR400-4 power amp in the classifieds for $150 Shipped. This is a good deal on a very good amplifier and is IMO perfect for your needs.

    I have an 05 crew cab myself. The factory radio was not in my truck when I bought it, however I am pretty sure the don't provide a line level output.
    Do you have a line out converter? If not you will need one with that Kenwood. Having said that it should meet your needs very well.

    With a budget of $150, Pioneer GM-D8704 offers the best value.

    If buying from Amazon, it may be a good idea to buy from an authorised Pioneer reseller.

    No. You don’t want to mess with CT Sounds, and you don’t want to care about max power. The Pioneer GM-D8704 is going to be your best bet in this situation, and when dealing with car audio, you should only be concerned with rms.
