Looking for advice/"schooling" on sound/speaker upgrades for my 2014 Tradesman 2500. Truck is equipped with the basic sound system, Uconnect 3.0.
I'm not really looking to replace the head unit right now, just want to upgrade the speakers (sooner or later). I don't know a thing about the factory system - how many speakers? (i think 6? 2 dash, 2 front door, 2 rear door?) and don't know speaker sizes?
I want a fairly high quality sound. Not for sound competition, But I do want it to be BETTER than the best factory sound system (Alpine?)
I don't have any brand preference. I DON'T want cheap stuff, not scared to spend a some money (within reason). Will buy/install an amp to run these speakers if necessary, no big deal.
Not necessarily looking for a subwoofer right now... prefer to just upgrade the factory speakers. May add a Sub at a later date, but not right now.
So... What's good (brands, models)? What sizes? Is an Amp needed?
