I have a 2022 regular cab Express 4th generation with the 8 inch screen. I am working with a local audio shop. They have proposed Alpine type R 6x9 components alp-r-s68c.2 for the front doors/dash and smaller type R for behind the front seats. There are factory speakers back there now. They will be installing an alpine 5 channel alp-s-a55v amp and a small 8 inch jl sub box cp108lg-w3v behind the front seats. I am not looking for a ton of bass or to win any awards, just looking to improve what’s there considerably without breaking the bank. They will be wrapping the front doors in Ballistic sound deadening material. They will be using a Ram pac-ap4-ch41 interface. I am good with everything they have proposed and the price seems good too $2100 installed. I was thinking of passing on the rear speakers to save some money. I feel because it’s a regular cab I may be fine with the factory speaker back there. I would appreciate any suggestions regarding the rear speakers. Also is the Ballistic mat a decent product? Is it similar to dyno Mat? Where is the best place to mount the amp and is it necessary to screw it down to the floor. Does the sub need to be screwed down? I have the rear tray behind the seats and want to place the sub inside that tray behind the passenger seat. I appreciate any comments or suggestions you might have regarding the proposed audio upgrade. This will be my first time upgrading any of my vehicles audio. Thanks
