Audio Recommendations...
I'm totally up in the air on what to do with my new (to me) 2004 Ranger Subercab (2D)...
I was at first thinking about just plugging and playing some 6x8's, followed by a replacement (soon) of the deck, and maybe wiring at that point.
Now, I'm torn with considering the use of 6.5's, and maybe components, with a sub for bass.
I'm also open to advice on a double din deck. I was hoping to install a unit that I could later add the components to for cell phone connection and GPS.
Apparently, I've talked myself into a longer project!
Any recommendations on any specifics? I'm looking for more of a budget build - possibly upto $200/speaker pair (preferred 100) and $400-500 for the deck.
Thanks All!

yup you'll be under budget on the head unit unless you get some real nice nav, and even then maybe not.
i had a single 10" pushing 300 watts and it was honestly plenty. could even get by with a single 8 or something, i'd just do a ten and a custom box to one side, upgrade the speakers, and get a nice $100-200 deck. maybe even amp the speakers.

I like the idea of the single 10 - I may even go with 2 10s in the back.
If I'm going to run the sub(s) in the back, wouldn't I be better served with 6.5s in the front? Maybe a component set up?
What do you think of these 6x8s (should I go that route)?

Or perhaps this pair?

I have had a couple DD in my truck both kenwoods first was a DDx6019 that I added bT and NAV too. It was a nice setup but limited to what you could do with it but the BT was great and the NAV system worked real well.
It was stolen so bought a new Kenwood DDX714 still use the same NAV KNA-G510 better graphics with the new head unit but the built-in BT sucked it sound like c#@p at the other end and then died could just be a problem with the unit I bought and not the model it's self. I should get it fixed but the idea of going with out the system is just to much to bear.
Good luck shop around my original sys. is in my sig and total price with me installing it was just a little under 1100.

Should I consider rewiring the truck when I get the new deck?
16awg wire is plenty, even for very high powered speakers.
If you don't have to have the high dollar head-unit, you can build a much better sounding system on the same budget. just a thought, depends on what interests you more.
