Well, I put Morel CAT 378's up there; had to grind down the faceplates down to fit properly.

Your choice will have to depend on your listening style, amplification, etc. A lot of folks like the Kickers, the JL's, the Focals, etc. etc. I personally needed a much more high-power application so I went with components.
Oh snap! I bet that sounds amazing! It looks like I'll use my gear from my Quad Cab, just need to get a new box. I will do a Skar 1000 to (2) JL 10W3 subs, 500W Rockford Amp to (4) Rockford 3 way 6x9 speakers, and then pick up a set of 3.5 Dash speakers. Should get r done lol

I believe the AmpPro is for preamp integration (ie Alpine amplified systems), I don't think that'll work for the base 6 (but I don't know that much about the unit or whether it has the high-level inputs / Line conversion that's needed).

I re-wired the whole truck as well, little 18 or 20 gauge wiring into the doors wasn't going to cut it! :)

Amps are behind the seat in my case (pics attached).
are there any bolts or studs in the back of the cab to mount the amp rack?

Here are some pics of what it looks like back there - there are a number of metal stand-offs where the existing wire harness is attached via plugs... after moving/removing the wiring & plugs I screwed into these with metal self-tappers. Other folks have bolted on from the ledge above. Hope that helps!

Ok thanks. So I'm not real familiar with a DSP, I guess if the Amp Pro outputs for front include the dash and front door speakers I am ok with just that?
Pretty sure the 6 speaker non alpine stereo is four channels, meaning, the dash speakers piggyback off the front door speakers.The reason I think this is because I just replaced all 6 speakers to the Infinity Reference speakers, and when testing them front to back, the front position plays the front doors and dash together. (2019 Ram 1500)
