Does anyone know which of the kicker mopar packages is correct for a regular cab 2012? Base system not Alpine

Any benefit to going this route vs off the shelf? Easier install maybe?

Thanks

Not too much help but I looked into this before too. Seemed too pricey for what you get, think I will just build a system.

building is better. aftermarket will have better quality long as you dont buy the cheap stuff

We don't have a drop in sub box for the 2012, but the add on 4.1 amp and door speakers, and dash are amazing!

I've done the Kicker upgrade. Was not at all pleased with the results so I went aftermarket pretty quickly.

I talked with the dealer that I purchased my truck from, had heard/seen these kicker kits, and also said for the price go aftermarket, and in the past, i've had not much luck with kicker

Glad I read this thread. Was gonna do the kickers since I don't have the alpine in my new truck and the $400-$500 seemed cheap for everything but then again I've never looked into speakers and all that lol

You could pickup an after stereo for the same price, and it would be better quality, however, I'm partial to alpine. I think they make the best audio equipment, but to each their own
