Well, im just confused, why the heck would you put all that money into the system, and leave the radio stock!? And btw W7s are incredibly overpriced

well the radio usually tells everything when people see a stock radio people dont think a system is im there but when people see a 200 or 300 dollar radio people tend to steal the radio and find a system in it so they hit a jackpot and the stock radio does everything I want I was just wondring if I leave the stock radio can I still put a alarm on it and take the factory one out because the outher weekend my friends Dodge lone star ram 1500 was stolen from a concert and the stock alarm didnt sound and was on so I want to take mine out and put a 300-500 dollar one in it

this is true but for the best control and balance between ur bass and highs u really need and a new cd player ......bass and treble knobs just wont cut it....u need sub controls......it makes a BIG difference in your system

Derrick, the alarm is connected to a horn/PA speaker. If you know where it's installed and cut the wire, there will be no sound. That is probably why no one heard the alarm.
Anyhow, you did select good setup. Unless your stock unit comes with RCA jacks, you might need to upgrade or get higher quality speaker to rca converter. Then you will be able to use the amp with your stock and get good result.

I agree with kedrick, it's like having owning a Mclaren F1 LM and never leaving the neighborhood.

1- get an alarm system
2- you'll need something like the JL audio cleansweep to use the factory radio
3- forget the capacitor
4- you will need a HO alternator and deep cycle battery for that amplifier setup. too much current draw otherwise
5- you still need a good 4 channel amplifier and components to balance out that bass setup.

the rest looks good

the 4 channel amp isnt needed because i will put the 2 channel amp for my mids and highs and I will use my mono or single channel amp for the 2 12" subs well if anyone can better my system or give me something to look in to please tell me before I build my system what do you think of the idea of the stock radio

not sure what the retail price is at present. I'd have to make a call to see.
it'll sound a lot better than just a stock LOC though, for sound quality.
you can read up on it at jlaudio.com

good amplifiers.
I loved the old Art series. the current products are very good amplifiers, and will do just fine.
