I don't have an amp or a sub, so the speakers are only driven by the Clarion head unit which puts out about 50 watts max to each corner (208 watts max, total). I'm using Rockford Fosgate 6.5 Punch full range speakers which should easily handle the modest power out of the radio.

The one thing I can say for certain is that the Autosound radio and kick panel speakers they sell for our trucks aren't worth the $$. You're smart to plan for a better system.
I like the look of that pod... Where did you get it from... I think those would work well behind the seat in the corners...

I am going to have Mike Hagen Antique radios modify my original AM to the AM/FM, Bluetooth, MP3, XM, and RCA jacks for a CD changer... Hope fully he can put more wattage into it ... I am not a "BOOMER" stereo guy but would like to have a real good sound in the truck... For me the less equipment to accomplish that the better...
