Anyone have an aftermarket stereo system in the truck?

I'm curious as what other peoples set up is as what people have where they located subs, and amps. I just got my first system and I'm looking for ideas on how to improve things and upgrade in the future just trying to get ideas. I have a single den alpine deck, alpine type r 5.25's in the doors, type r 6x9's in the back, powered by an alpine power pack, and a jl v3 600w monoblock powering a jl 10w6 under the bunk. It sounds great nothing like pulling up to a light and having people look around to see what's bumping and then do a double take at that the truck. But the power pack isn't enough for the type r's and I get clipping at higher volume so I wanting to get a better speaker amp but I don't want rewire the speakers. So I was thinking of setting the speaker amp under the dash and using the factory wiring but I'm worried about cooling with it under the dash. Also the sub amp gets HOT so I have to raise the buck which allows enough airflow to keep things cool. Some people ride around with their seat down I guess I can I ride around with my bunk up. But I'm curious were others have put their amps to allow proper airflow.

 

Darn them young whipper snappers. Lol. Listen here you old fart. Will you please show me what part of my post makes you think I'm discourteous enough to play loud music in the truck stop? Or do you just assume the worst in people because your kind of a jerk?

 

Cjinda I realize that the head unit isn't built to last in a truck that's ok if I have to replace it once a year I'm good with that. If it goes out sooner than that then it will be under warranty anyway. I see that there are aftermarket truck radios avail but I don't think they have preouts for a sub. Cjinda I'm not directing the following at you. At least Cjinda here asks me not to play loud music in places were people maybe sleeping rather than assume that I do and calling me an idiot because I said I had a stereo system. Folks for the record I DO NOT PLAY LOUD MUSIC in the truck stop, rest areas, at shippers/receivers, residential areas, or any other place where people maybe sleeping. If someone else did then that's when you need to get of the truck and go direct your anger at the person who earned it not some guy on the internet who said he had a stereo system.

 

A sub brings out a lot in sound quality in all types of music especially with metal. What kind of metal do you listen to?

 

I guess I can look to go that route with the head unit if I have any problems. 10 on the driver side and a 12 on the passenger? I'm trying to get an idea of what you mean, were they tucked into cubbys in the sleeper? Were'd you put your amps I'm having cooling probs with the sub amp under the bunk.
