    2022 Audio Upgrade Sanity Check *Update*

    I did not. I replaced all speakers, I used no resistors and I added a 10 inch Kicker hideaway sub. It sounds great. I had put in a Duha underseat storage bin and found that the Hideaway was able to be mounted perfectly inside using some wood supports. I found no decrease in volume nor any...

    2022 Audio Upgrade Sanity Check *Update*

    Glad to see this tread helping out a few folks. The knowledge sharing on this site is great. My final update for my truck. I added the 10 inch Kicker hideaway sub. I've got a Duha underseat storage bin under the rear seats and this sub looks like it was made for that. I needed a small wooden...

    Speaker upgrading 22 rebel 8.4 non alpine

    This... Mr. FL-RAM gave me the same advice not too long ago and I fought it but eventually caved. Glad I did. Night and day difference. This Friday will be adding a 10 inch Kicker Hideaway and call it done.

    2022 Audio Upgrade Sanity Check *Update*

    Another update. I'm not sure why I even try. I know I cant leave well enough alone so yes, I ended up replacing all speakers. The aforementioned Hertz 3.5's in the dash, no resistor. This brightened up things tremendously. I then installed some Infinity 6x9's in the rear door. Made a...

    My New Ram

    2022 Midnight edition Quad cab, 5.7 Hemi. Did the spray in bedliner, added the nerf bars, window deflectors and had the front windows tinted to the legal limit here. Inside, working on the sound system. It's coming along. First Ram I've owned. Love the truck so far.

    2022 Audio Upgrade Sanity Check *Update*

    Interesting concept on switching the leads! I didnt get to test 6x9's this weekend as I had no adapters and dont want to cut wires. They will be here this week along with some nerf boards for the sides that I'll install. Will see how all goes at that point.

    2022 Audio Upgrade Sanity Check *Update*

    So a little of an update. Firstly, I'd like to describe my preferences as best I can because I think that's important to anyone who may be researching this as I have been. I like most music with the exception of Rap. 80's and 90's Country and Rock are my two go to's. I like crisp highs...

    2022 Audio Upgrade Sanity Check *Update*

    I've heard the 'key amp' being discussed in my reading, but to be honest, I've not researched it . Just been trying to concentrate on the short term first and not overload my brain..haha. If the key amp is anything like the little Alpine power pack, then I'm familiar. I've used two of them...

    2022 Audio Upgrade Sanity Check *Update*

    and actually, we may both be in the minority, but that's been my experience as well when replacing OEM with aftermarket. The soundstage just seems off. I tend to like a brighter sound with punch and typically keep treble and bass turned up and mid turned flat or just above. Everyones taste...

    2022 Audio Upgrade Sanity Check *Update*

    yes... so my plan is to do the front speakers first. Then just add the front door 6x9's after the dash speakers and test. If not good by my ears, then I'll take them out. If no real improvement with the door speakers, then I'll remove them and return them. Should be easy enough. Will be...

    2022 Audio Upgrade Sanity Check *Update*

    I'd read about some of the harnesses being incorrect, but didnt know the trick with the cone so appreciate that. Took me a couple times reading, but I follow you on the droning now. In fact, I'd seen that demonstrated in a video. From my reading, I've found that the factory system is not...
