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?

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.

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
