I have a 2017 Ram with the Alpine stereo and feel that it is under powered, my beater is a 96 Grand Marquis and I have put a Alpine stereo in that car it includes F300 Amp M500 Amp with 5x7 and 6x9 and 12" sub it just pounds so hard. So after having the truck for 3 months I'm looking at swapping out an Amp in the truck could replace the amp with a 5 channel or put my 2 amps in the truck. Has anyone replaced just the amp? the current amp does not have much after 25 mark and I think the stock speakers could take more than the current amp can deliver.

It's been discussed.

Basically.....you'll be reworking the entire stereo system I think.

I keep the stock 8.4 HU and amp (Alpine setup). Depending on the setup you're looking from you can add a processor or just buy an amp with high level inputs and work from there. It's a lot that can be done to upgrade your system.
