    2013 - Grill and Bumpers

    Hey all, Where is a source for different grills for the 13 Ram, and also maybe bumpers. I have a steel grey (I think that's the color) and it's just way too much chrome for me. I'd imagine the grill would be fairly easy to change, the bumpers maybe not so much. I like the color matched...

    Best way to tap speaker lines?

    Those that have upgraded or tapped in for loc what method did you use. I upgraded everything but kept the factory deck. I tapped all 4 speaker leads for my JL Cleansweep. I used those piercing crimp on connectors that pierce the wire and you connect a spade connector to it. I had one come...

    Hey all, I can't find the thread on here, but I thought I read somewhere that folks were using a spacer for the front to help with the shallow mounting depth in the door? Did I imagine this? If not do you know what the spacer thickness is? I'm guessing it pushes the speaker further out...
