Hello All,
Not my first sound system upgrade but first time touching my rams sound system. Its a 14 1500 express CC with Uconnect 5.0 and not the premier sound system.
I had the rear door panel off the other day to try to fix a Ding and pulled the speaker out. The speaker was a 6x9 and judging by the weight and cloth cover I understand why the sound is poor.
I'm thinking of swapping out the door speakers front and back for the moment. Both are 6x9 from what I read but there is a depth issue with the window track right? Ive searched and most kits come with all 6x9 replacements front and rear or do 6x9 rear and 5.25 or 6.5 front with adapters. I dont want to run expensive speakers thinking $40-75 a pair. What is the limits for the front and rear doors depth wise? Are 5.25/6.5 better for the fronts and don't limit the sound? If I have to run shallow 6x9 in the front maybe the 5.25/6.5 is a better choice and will allow more depth?
I'm keeping the stock dash speakers probably but Ive seen kits for $190 with everything and the speaker adapters. From what Ive heard the front and dash are tied together so upgrading the front dash tends to overpower the doors.
Thoughts? Recommendations? Also most speakers are 4ohm and Ive heard the stocks are 2ohm so the 4ohm speakers will be less loud right?
