Hello,
I am new to this site and car audio in general. I have had car systems before but always paid for the pricey installations.

I drive a 2000 Dodge Dakota quad cab and I am looking for new speakers and would like to get alpine type r components. my question is should i get two sets of components or put type r' coaxials in the back to save some money and installation.

Does anyone have any tips to installing component speakers in a dodge dakota, what all do i need to make the install. any one have any pics?

The rule of thumb is to use coax in the back as it is just rear fill. Unless you plan on spending a lot of time in the back seat

I just pulled a set of coaxials from the doors of my 99 Dakota to sell it. There are some plastic "holders" that the original speakers were in. I was able to mount 6.5" infinities in these. Personally, I would just spend the money and time on the fronts. I'm not sure about all Dakota's but this one had factory components in it so there was a location further up the door panel to mount a tweeter in if I had been so inclined. Type "R" coaxials or components are a good choice IMO.
