I want to run the stock HU in my truck but change out the speakers and run multiple amps is there a simpler way than a bunch of line drivers?
Is this a waste of time or will I be able to still get a quality sound? Any close by shops around (Maple Ridge)I can go to to talk to in person about these products?

I would talk to the guys at Diamond Stereo at Lougheed and 216th, good guys, from what I understand.

Haney Sewing & Sound (AVU) is another reputable shop in Maple Ridge.
I believe there are products from AudioControl & JL Audio (and perhaps others) that would be designed for just such an application.

Audio LC6 + bass remote or 6XS. From JL it would be the Cleansweep. MY vote goes to the Audio Control gear.

The new Rockford 3sixty looks cool. Saw it at CES.

What truck? You may just need a good pair of LOCs...

Also - depending on the amps you choose you may not need anything [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Thanks guys
The truck is a 98 ram with the stock Infinity set-up
I want to use my old PPI AM amps
1 2150 for the front tweets
1 2150 for the front 6.5s and
1 4200 for the 6.5s in the rear
I also want to run thru the passives
If the stock HU sounds crappy I will land in my eclipse deck but for stelth reasons I dont want to change out the HU. I will check the guys out you mentioned and see if they sell the AC products. Dukk whats a LOC? Just a line converter?
Thanks
