does anyone have any leads to salvage or discounted factory amps for the alpine system in our trucks?

Not sure why you would want that pos, but most anyone that has upgraded to aftermarket amp should have the pos stock Alpine kicking around.

I think if you buy an iDatalink Or Rockford Fosgate Maestro (I’m not sure which 1 makes it because I swear I’ve seen it made by either) you basically have the same thing and it can be tuned to your music taste and amps are super easy to add to it and I’m sure it’s a lot less. I have an Alpine system in my truck and that’s what I’m going to install in my truck along with an amp for my speakers.

If you post in the wanted section here I bet you could get one for free (you pay shipping)...

I MIGHT get my system upgraded in 2 weeks if you really want 1 but I haven’t made a final decision on when I’m doing my upgrade for sure. I just know you’re better off getting an upgraded amp and DSP like the Maestro even if it’s more money.

If you have the base 6 speaker system in your truck, you'll need a different wiring harness for the factory Alpine system. One example the front door and dash are paralleled together, the Alpine system those are individually wired to the amp and there is three dash speakers also.

Haha, I "upgraded" my 9 channel "POS" Alpine to a 11 channel "POS" Alpine amp. Was on EBAY new for $125, took about 10 minutes to swap, was plug and play. I'm going to add the headliner speakers and call it a day.
Sounds good to me, but I'm not a music aficionado

Convert, for now.

Looks like OP has a Sport, probably could have come with it.
Does Alpine OEM not have a replacement?

I’m using the PAC amp pro and the factory amp is still required to be connected.

We think my factory amp may have taken a dump...

I’ve got an amp pro, JL Audio DSP and 4 aftermarket amps now. The way it works with the amp pro is you need to retain the stock amp in place to pass-through the signal. We think my stock amp may have just taken a dump since I have no audio now.

You can also try asking Benny in the “All Mopar Parts” forum thread. He might be able to find an OEM amp for you??

Thankfully a false alarm. The PAC Amp pro needed to be re-synced to the truck and all is well.
Those are my favorite kind of alarms!
