I’m going to probably need to sell that AudioFrog and go with a shallow mount JL.

This will go with my black tonneau cover, black chrome 5” exhaust , tinting of my side windows, and the removal of “ Ram “ on those side doors.....

Guy at work just got the 7 and loves it. Not sure which one.
He keeps trying to get me to drive it.

Like I could get in or out of the damn thing.

I tried the 7 and honestly for what I want the vehicle for, it’s overkill. The 6 will do me just fine if they keep it as they say, plus I won’t get in “ mod “ trouble with it ha ha ha ..

@DRkNESS What is going to be your approach on input to the DSP? Are you going to use the stock radio output? Skip the stock radio altogether? A mingling if the two to retain factory voice?

Just curious since you’ve done it before and if your approach would be different this time since you have experience.

Honestly I’ve just gathered the gear for now in anticipation of mapping it out in July. I know that my boss ( wife) insists that everything be retained and function as such. Now that I can make happen once I actually start giving it some real thought. Since I have a 40/20/40 front with a slide out drawer, I’m feeling that’s where my Director will be built into. Just need to take some time and pull the drawer and make some measurements. :)

Ok slight change in plans based upon my experience yesterday. I will not be doing anything bigger then 2” as far as a lift. Also my next step will be to have the bedliner sprayed in. Then I can actually shop for the tonneau cover that fits my needs.

Ordered the Mopar 2” lift kit to tide me over while I wait for someone to step up and make my 5” black chrome exhaust tips lol.c30ced446a31f21f9d50222f6c661186.jpg

Contacting my interior guy to see what can be done with or about that fake looking wood trim in my Ram. :)

Ok so my lift goes on this Wednesday and I’m hopeful they do as I’ve requested and take install photos.
