Frontier Crew Fosgate Conversion

You should know that the stereo equipment is usually one of the first things to be removed from a totalled car.  The chances of you locating an '03 truck that's totalled and has the rockford fosgate system, and none  of the components damaged, is very small.  And unless you can find it in the vehicle yourself you'd have to buy it from somewhere/someone and if they'll probably charge a lot for it.  A lot more than it's worth at least.

You'd really get better sound from a dedicated aftermarket system anyways.  Yes it's rockford fosgate gear but it's not really "real" RF equipment.  It's got their logo on it and all but the amplifier is pretty darn weak and the speakers aren't anywhere near as good as a pair of aftermarket RFs.  Also, I never really was a fan of RF head units.  There's nothing wrong with them really, but for what you get there are definitely better choices out there with more features for the same or sometimes even less money.

Thanks for the advice, but actually,  there was a full Frontier Rockford system removed from a totalled vehicle on ebay last week .  ( http:///.com/ebaymotors/dll?ViewItem&category=38646&item=2419186613 )  The reason I'm pursuing this is because I don't want to go aftermarket.  Been there, done that.  I'm not that much of an enthusiast to justify the time and expense.  Of course, I understand that a carefully chosen and expertly installed aftermarket system will blow away any factory system.  I just want something better than what I have without making major modifications, or incurring major expense.  Having some answers to the questions I asked in my original post will help me decide if this is worth pursuing.
