Hey guys I know MMA forum but I figured I would ask here. I have been installing stereos for years but I just bought an 08 charger and I was on crutchfield looking for wiring kits for a new reciever.
They are saying the car has factory amplified speakers even though it is the base model SE charger.
Has anyone installed a stereo in one of these and know weather or not its true.
PS I am going to sell my old sub and amp if anyone is interested.

Yea I figured this being the base 4 speaker system that there was no amp. But apparently there is according to crutchfield. I am debating weather or not to just completly replace everything and not even use the stock sytem at all and just putting all my own stuff in.
I have a sundown amp and sub I need to sell first though so I have the extra cash.

Ya might be better off. I replaced everything...MTX subs and I can't even remember the amps? Not really a car audio guy. That's why I had them do it.
How ya like the SE? I loved the RT 5.7L I had a buddy put in a 6.1L cam and heads...chipped it and put on throttle body spacers and did the exhaust. It was a pretty quick car. Still is actually I gave it to my kid.

Your gonna bore the throttle body or just put on spacers? I got the K&N Cold air intake. Did the exhaust and headers too. Why not just save up and buy a 5.7L or an SRT 8 rather than put money into a 2.7 V-6?

Cool...put an exhaust on it and it will sound great! The CAI intake will help it breath a lil better too. I did the headers and exhaust...sounded like a Nascar. Do they make a chip for the V-6? That will help too. Or do they make a tuner? like a lil handheld one? I had one of those, a flashpaq...it was alot of fun.
Make sure you check with the dealer about your warranty before ya do anything though hey? or have them do it. They say it voids your warranty. But, they have to prove that what you put on, was what contributed to whatever breaking. Like say you put on an exhaust and your transmission goes...it had nothing to do with the exhaust...ya know?

I used to be REALLY big into car Audio about 10 years ago. Had a Kenwood system, with 6 twelve inch JVC's. cost me over 12k at cost for it all, and eventually the dealer I was buying it all from started sponsoring me.
Times and tech have changed though so drastically since then, it's crazy. Wish I could help you out as far as specs on newer cars and such. I am thinking of getting back into it come to think about it
If you want to talk about Decibles, RMS Power, etc, I'm your guy. But new car installs were never my forte. I built my sub boxes, did my own custom layouts in the trunk etc, but I didn't do the wiring part in my car for fear of screwing up my electrical warranty on my cars. lol

I have to tell ya...
No matter what kind of stock car it is you're working on, you gotta start with the exhaust. (aside from the Chip I guess...lol) Not gonna help you to bring in more fuel, or air from a new bore or intake, if you can't exhaust it out as well. That was one of the very first things I ever learned about performance upgrades... and it couldn't be more true.

Yea I was sponsored 2 years ago. The sub I have is a single 10 and and has hit 139.7db on music and not tuned 100%.
My amp is rated at 1500rms. But benched at around 1650-1700rms.
The sub was the only one built at the time not sure if they make it any more.
I need to sell the amp and sub tho if your interested in getting back into it lol.
