Title: Dodge ram radio upgrades
Post by: Fastass350 on April 11, 2015, 06:14:29 AM: My 04 ram came factory with a 6 disc changer and infinity system, which has a factory amp or equalizer or something? I got a radio and install kit a couple years ago and it wouldn't power the amp so I never used it. Anyone put one in themselves and if so how'd you do it? I don't really want to have a shop do it, and end up with a hack job.

Thanks
Chris

Shop around though, Crutchfield isn't the best deal.
