Am I correct in the following summary as it applies to my goals in upgrading?
1. I have the BA 6 speaker system, no nav in the 05 Magnum RT.
2. I want better sound, and more bass.
3. I want to keep Uconnect and all steering wheel controls.
4. If I don't want to add any new amps then I can only replace speakers with better ones, as long as they are 2 ohms.
5. If I want to add a sub I must tap into the door speakers to get the low level output and then send to seperate amp and sub.
6. If I want to retain Uconnect and Steering wheel controls and upgrade amps for the door/dash/rear speakers, I must tap in after the factory amp.
This all sound correct?
Lastly, this amp has sub outputs from the factory, didn't see anything about that in this KB. Any input?

Well, there's others that are more senior on this than I am but I went through the same logic before upgrading my sound system and here's what I took to be the answers:
1-3 yes
4 Be careful about the wattage that the new speakers requrie. That amp is not putting out a lot of power so it can't run really good speakers
5. yes. You'll get everything from 100hz and down.
6. Yes.
and the other question - yes, there is a seperate output for the car's sub. But from what El Duderino measured it looks to get only about 60hz and below sent to it. Not really enough for a decent sub most would say.
Also keep in mind that whichever signal you catch it will be affected by your fade and your built-in equalizer. i.e. if you take the signal going to the doors and send it to a sub amp (I think) then when you fade to the rear both the door signal and the sub signal will be decreased. Someone else should jump in here and confirm that.
