Is this amp something folks with just the regular audio system could install for improved sound? Any pics of the install or what to look for? I'm not even a sound junkie but my sound hardly even sounds like stereo. The stock non-premium system in my dodge stratus was awesome...nice clear sound with awesome base even though there was no bass speaker!

You're missing the whole wiring harness, so no, it wouldn't work for you. What we're discussing here is swapping the stock Infinity amp with the Dodge Niro Infinity amp.

Right I understand the swap, was just wondering if something could be added such as the amp to the non-infinity system that would improve the rear speakers.

I went to a Car Audio store here local and they told me they could fix my stereo so it would sound better.....for $2300....... I laughed my way right out the door.

Well, I just did the opposite. I decided the Nitro amp with upgraded speakers just wasn't going to be good enough for me. So I went to the Car Audio people I trust and told them I wanted a great fidelity system, keeping the Infinity HU and replacing the amp, speakers and sub, while keeping everything stealth/stock looking.

I'm getting:

Alpine PDX 5 - 5 channel Amp, will fit where Infinity amp is located
Alpine SPX-17PRo - 6.5" Component Speakers, for dash and soundbar
eD 9Kv.2 Sub, I may upgrade from this if I don't like the sound
plus amp kit, converters, wiring, sound mats, installation etc

for just under $1900.

My reasoning is... driving Jeeps always puts a big-'ol-grin on my face. I'm pouring a bunch of money into mods anyway, with the one rule: all mods must at least maintain, if not increase, my grin. The Infinity system, although far better than any stock system I've ever heard, decreases my grin. Minor mods will only help a little compared to this Alpine system. I will be able to hear the difference. I will be grinning again.

So by next weekend I'll be selling the Nitro amp I just got yesterday.

Sounds like a nice set up Ghostship. Will the sub fit into the stock sub box?

It's about 1/2 inch deeper, may have to use some weather stripping or cork material as a spacer, but should still fit ok.
