Mike,
Thunderforms are available for the Durango. You can check out either MTX or crutchfield.
I believe Circuit City can also order them loaded or unloaded. I would replace all the door speakers
with component system speakers. They are very easy to install and the crossover that comes with the
component sets are small enough to fit in the empty pockets (between the door panels) in the door.
I'm not sure about the Durango's current speaker configuration, so you may have to cut holes in the
door panels for the component tweeters. I must say I did this last week to my Dakota and it was a snap...
As far as the amp, there are many different kinds you can go with. I have a MTX 5400 5-channel
amp with built in crossovers that runs all my speakers. (1 component set of polke 5-1/4", 1 set of Sony triax,
and my thunderform with 2 thunder5000 subs)
Although this amp is fairly large, you may be able to hide it behind a wall panel.
Hope this helps...

Subject: DML: Wheels & Tires/Subs & Amps & Speakers
Hello DML'ers,
Got a couple things to mention today...
First, I wanted to update y'all on the wheel and tire situation I wrote the
DML about last week. I got a call from the Tire Rack yesterday and they are
shipping my defective wheels and tires back Indiana to examine them and
decide how to proceed. I don't care what they do as long as they can deliver
me a non-defective product! I'll keep you posted. So far the Tire Rack is
doing the right thing...
Second, I'm interested in upgrading my 2k Durango's Infinity system. I want
to use the stock head but upgrade the speakers and add a Thunderform sub. I
am not wanting to build a rolling concert hall, but am wanting to improve on
what is already there. Is there a Thunderform that fits the Durango? What do
you recommend for an amp to power the sub and the front door speakers?
Should I upgrade the rear door speakers and, should I amp them as well? I
need all the space I have now, so filling up the inside of my wagon with
subs, amps, and crossovers is not an option. Anyone been there already?
Thanks in advance for any tips and/or advice.
