Ok guys so im looking at getting an aftermarket head unit.
My eyes are on an Alpine Unit that has alot of features that i like but i have a dilemma...Crutchfield is saying that i need a 150 dollar box so that my speakers will work with an aftermarket headunit...

Is this True?

Call Crutchfield, and do whatever they say. They won't steer you wrong.

True, Crutchfield will not steer you wrong but you can beat their prices. Try SonicElectronix.com

I've ordered from SonicElectronix as well. Also a good company. Just can't beat Crutchfield's Service, and they will usually match or beat prices if you are on the phone with them.

^ If they will match, then I would ask them to match because their customer service and tech support is top notch.

Hey preston what year is your truck? I looked but all I can find is that its a 4.7 laramie. I have an 04 with the infinity and was told to get the bypass and I refused to pay 150.00 that is what the HU cost. So I wired it up with a regular harness and it didnt work. The truck said something about can bus failure and I had no lights to thw dash either so I took it out, checked all the wires and put it back in. and it worked. I didnt change anything on the wires just took it out and put it in. and I have been running it like that for over a year. For the 150.00 you will be better off replacing the door speakers and using an external amp to power them. The dodge infinity speaker system is a way overpriced joke. I wanted to cry when I would get into my tahoe with the facory bose system then get into my truck.
