    Harmon 17 speaker system with smaller screen??

    The speakers aren’t HK (and the Alpine package doesn’t have Alpine speakers). The HK pkg has 2 additional speaker locations - a tweeter in each of the front doors. The amp is tuned a little differently, the Alpine has a little more bass, but IMO, the HK sounds better overall. The head unit is...

    Another speaker question (9 speaker Alpine)

    Audiofrog, Gladden, etc. Pretty easy to get up that high if anyone wants to. I have Karma Aspect mids in my dash right now, but they will be migrating to the rear headliner this weekend, since my XXM325s are supposed to be delivered tomorrow. Also replacing my SB tweeters w/ GB10s. Then...

    2024 Limited Alpine 9-speaker saga continues...

    There is a carpet-ish panel covering the whole back wall. On the pass side, you will see some slits/holes in the panel, that's where the sub is. It's self enclosed and bolted to the wall behind that carpet

    Another speaker question (9 speaker Alpine)

    They sell direct only. Occasionally will find a pair on Amazon through a 3rd party, but not through any retailers that I'm aware of. I believe they've been around about 20 years, but always selling just this way. Special? Nothing really, they are just very good quality at that price point...

    The Unity 8.0? I had those on the dash in my last truck, definitely nice

    Another speaker question (9 speaker Alpine)

    It’s all a matter of what you are hoping to accomplish. Yes, the front door speakers are crossed over to put out only the low and low end mid frequencies. But, the stock speakers suck. You can get a reasonably cheap replacement, which will provide more/cleaner low frequencies/bass without...

    What did you do with your 5th Gen this week?

    Had Eibach pro stage 2 kit installed last week, and self-installed AMP power steps on Sunday. Thanks to Nick @gotexhaust for both!

    Where to start?

    100% agree- the difference between listening to Sirius directly through the head unit, as compared to through the Sirius app via USB is night and day. Listening to an even higher quality streaming source (like Tidal), widens the quality gap even further. This isn't unique to Ram/Uconnect, FYI...

    Where to start?

    This. When I tell people I only have an 8 channel DSP/Amp, they ask how I amplified the center and rear doors. Easy, I didn't! Don't have them connected at all, and don't miss them.

    Where to start?

    Adding a little context here.. This won't solve for your issue, but may provide some understanding, if it hasn't been posted already. With the Alpine system, the majority of the sound is intended to come from the dash speakers. That's where the mid-range and highs come from. Mid-bass, and...

    Factory sub wiring

    What everyone else said. Invest your time and money in aftermarket gear. I’ve got a helix V8 DSP/Amp pushing Karma mids in the dash, SB Acoustics tweets and SI TM65 Midbass in the front doors, and the rear headliners. + a Sundown SIA-1750 for 2 Dayton HO 10” subs in a ported box.

    Factory sub wiring

    I’d imagine unless you have the Alpine or HK amplified system, there’s no signal being sent to the sub, or definitely not enough to push it

    Need help with 2 way active system

    The mids firing Into the windshield from the dash corners worked great for me. I mounted the tweets in the sail panels. I was using a Helix V8. This was in my previous truck (2021 Bighorn)

    Rear tweeters alpine system 2021 hd

    i removed the grilles from my 21 Bighorn with a Trim tool. The issue I have now, is that when I tried to replace them, the speaker bracket (inside the roof) partially detached, so I can’t clip the grille all the way back in, and it’s hanging partially off. Im trying to figure out how i can...

    WTB: Console Safe for 2019 and Newer Ram 1500 Laramie

    I'm going to be purchasing a console safe soon, and this is very interesting, as I really want the electronic lock, but all about saving a couple bucks. Checked this link - looks like you can only buy these in bulk, like 50+ of them? I found some similar ones on Amazon, so probably could find...

    2022 Audio Upgrade Sanity Check *Update*

    So - You do want to ensure the polarity is correct on your install, just to get the best sound, regardless of the ANC. Since you will have the bypass installed, if it's reversed (polarity) it won't case the droning, but it still won't sound as good. It's pretty easy to tell whether or not...

    2022 Audio Upgrade Sanity Check *Update*

    Not 1st-hand experience, as I have a 2021 w/o ANC, but I've done some research while working on my upgrades, and this is some of what I've found that may help you out. According to a poster on 5th gen, the ANC issues he ran into with the door speaker only upgrades were caused by the speakers'...

    Foot panel lights?

    I have the same footwell lights you do (LED lights on a card/circuit board thing). i got aftermarket lights from paragoptics,about a year ago. This is a link to the installation instructions, but I can’t find them for sale on their site any more, without buying the entire interior lighting...

    Anyone figure out how to get to the rear roof speakers?

    i haven’t replaced mine, but 3.5”s will fit there. You have to remove the grilles to get to the speakers. The instructions I’ve seen are “just pull hard”. Lol

    Alpine 9-speaker system info

    I put these in the rear doors, before I replaced the factory amp… it made a pretty big difference In quality. The Inf Ref 6x9s are 3 Ohm, compared to the 2 Ohm stock speakers. It’s really not a big deal as far as resistance goes, and it actually seemed to me like the Infs were louder than the...
