Hello, I am installing the Highliner and new audio system in my 1997 K1500 Stepside(Standard Cab). After talking to a few audio guys, some say do not amp the 4" speakers because of the distance to your head and another says to amp them seperately with a volume control knob attached to the dash. Any ideas or input would be appreciated. Will submit pics once completed if anyone is interested. Here is the following equipment:

Too many speakers. Run the sub and door speakers. Maybe some in the dash if you need it. I run subs and 2-way 6.5 in the doors.
