    My Ram is leased but I plan on buying it when my term is up so it doesnt matter.

    If you plan on turning yours in at the end of your term then you dont want to do anything thatll permanently screw up the interior (like cutting 2" holes in the a-pillars) so youll want to stick with the stock provisions.

    Don't cut it up and you should be fine or if you must buy replacement panels now to replace later. I install a system into my company cars everytime I get a new model. I just have to be very creative on how I go about.

    Yeah. I basically used the subwoofer box to mount the amplifiers on so I didn't have to screw them down to any sheet metal. I used the wiring harnesses from Crutchfield so I could easily return the car to stock. I ran my own wires to the amplifiers and use already existing holes that had rubber plugs in them. I just punched a screw driver through the plug and stuffed the power wires through. I userd the stock speaker sizes and locations too. I didn't screw the box down either. I shoved it in a corner and used the black rubber bungee cords to hold it in place. It worked well and it was a cinch to rip it all out when the time came. All the stock parts were tossed in a box and given to the lease holder to hold on to.

    It's already been said though. Don't cut or drill holes and you'll be fine.
