Re: Tunes on the cheap?

I pulled the old radio from mine, didn't like the POS modern radio in my truck. I got this
http://www.amazon.com/Rockford-Fosgate-R125-2-2-Channel-Amplifier/dp/B007BG5NLW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=24APIX82BPWSC&coliid=I363MY8Y6D0DYI

and a set of these

Mounted the amp under the bench on the hump and one speaker under each side of the bench. Use a minijack to RCA cable to hook my current smartphone up. Think the set up with wiring cost just under 200 and its completely hidden besides a mini jack cable that lays on the bench.

Also keep my old smartphone with some music on it, a speedometer app, and a gps app that doesn't require internet access in the truck. Glued some cloth covered earth magnets and store it on the stuck to the roof behind the visor to keep it handy. Eventually will probably add a 50 dollar bluetooth receiver to get rid of the minijack cable.
