    2018 ram 1500 base stereo

    I know it has been a while, but what metra adapter did you use? I ask because I just did the same thing plugged the metra adapter into the factory harness on one end and then metra adapter big lug to the big lug on speaker and metra adapter small lug to the small lug on the speaker, on the...

    Stock Everything Audio - Best Budget Upgrades?

    So I swapped the the Pioneer TS-G690 6x9s to the rear doors and put the factory 6x9s back in the front doors and do you know what I found? Sound is still AMAZING in the backseat! Even better than before because the bass still hits hard and now the highs are so much crisper. There is still very...

    Granite Crystal Metallic 4th Gens

    2017 RAM 1500 Express, CC, 4x4, 5.7L Hemi. Swapped from the stock 17x7 with gloss black wheel skins to the stock 20x8 chrome clad. Original plan was to eventually go black on the new wheels and black badges, but the chrome has grown on me. Seems like just the right amount of shine on wheels...

    Stock Everything Audio - Best Budget Upgrades?

    So I adjusted the fade a bit and sat in different seating positions. With the fade all the way to the front Pioneer 6x9s, sitting in the front seats the front door bass sound is just ok. Sitting in the back, you get a lot of deep bass from the front door speakers. With fade adjusted all the way...

    Stock Everything Audio - Best Budget Upgrades?

    So I played with the EQ a bit more and sat in different positions in the truck. What I found was that with the Pioneer TS-G690 speakers in the front doors, all other speakers stock and balance/fade centered, the sound in the rear seats is AMAZING! Like BADASS AMAZING! Played a few songs in each...

    The connector that plugs into the factory subwoofer?

    Thanks. Sounds like it might be easier to tap at the B pillar. I was just not wanting to mess with door trim and such. Probably cleaner to leave everything under the dash alone anyways. Did tapping for signal put more load on the rear channel and pull down the rear speaker volume? Thanks...

    The connector that plugs into the factory subwoofer?

    Sorry, it might make more sense if I lay out the scenario better. I have a 2017 Express CC 4x4, Uconnect 5, base 6 channel, no amp, no factory sub. To my knowledge, in this truck, all four channels are full range. Sound from door speakers verifies presence of low frequencies. The front...

    Stock Everything Audio - Best Budget Upgrades?

    I just picked up one pair of the TS-G690 6x9s and installed them in the front doors today. No mat or anything in the door panels. Kept the stock dash 8 ohm 3.5s. Played with the EQ on the Uconnect 5. Highs seem a lot clearer, which I like. Seems that there is less clean deep bass, but it is...

    The connector that plugs into the factory subwoofer?

    I know this is an older thread, but does anybody know if the other end of this harness comes out under the dash at the head unit? Might be nice option to tap into the rear channel wires there. Then connect the end under the rear seat to amp or amplified sub.
