    Subwoofer Enclosure Question Ported or Sealed

    I’ve been very happy with the box I bought from Net Audio 6 years ago. I got the Single Tall sealed and run a JL 12W6V3. They also make dual, ported boxes. https://netaudio.com/product/2009-2018-dodge-ram-crew-cab-sub-box-dual-tall-ported/

    Aftermarket Amp Placement?

    Back wall works extremely well.

    Audio upgrade help

    That’s not really correct. A DSP (Digital Signal Processor) will take the left and right outputs of whatever head unit you have (OEM or aftermarket) and allow you to process it before sending to the amps. The main functions of a DSP are as a crossover (splitting frequencies) and to do time...

    Aftermarket A pillars with tweeter pods?

    Why would you want 3 on each side? That sounds horrible.

    Afe shorty headers

    I just ordered the AFEs directly and the Remflex from Amazon. https://afepower.com/afe-power-48-42001-1-twisted-steel-headers-1

    Sweet! I wasn’t aware the bolts were included.

    Afe shorty headers

    Just based on my reading in the forum, it doesn’t appear that the dipstick is an issue. Other than being in an annoying place on the 4x4 trucks

    Afe shorty headers

    So I’m thinking I need to get the headers, Remflex gaskets (already in my Amazon shopping cart), and new ARP bolts?

    Afe shorty headers

    Hell No! I’m a computer geek who knows his limitations. LOLOLOL I‘ve got a friend who builds hot rods (one of the few people I’d just toss my keys to). If he‘s interested, then I’ll have him do it. If not, I’ll have to find a shop.

    Are the AFEs CARB approved?

    PAC Pro/DSP/Amp question

    consider going 3 way active if you are putting a tweeter in the sail panel anyway. Midranges in the dash positions work extremely well as long as you have a DSP with enough control.

    Fast Blinker Even After Changing Bulb

    Yes, the left has been fast blinking while the third brake light bulb was burned out. However, it’s still doing it even after replacing the bulb and driving for a bit.

    Fast Blinker Even After Changing Bulb

    I’d been getting the “Left Rear Blinker” warning for a while. Checking out the lights, it was the high mount brake light that was actually fried. I replaced that bulb, but I’m still getting the Left Blinker Error. Is there something else I need to reset to clear that message?

    How hot does it get in the bed under a black tonneau?

    Hmmmmm, sounds like i should foil wrap a brisket on my next drive to Vegas…

    Looking for a full audio upgrade writeup or thread. Radio, speakers, amp and sub.

    It’s gonna be tough to recommend anything specifically. Too many variables. If they are still using the factory amp (which is more than just an amp), then it has built in crossovers to feed the factory speakers. You could bypass all of that and add an amp and your own speakers, but I can’t be...

    Looking for a full audio upgrade writeup or thread. Radio, speakers, amp and sub.

    Are you feeding the Pioneer signal back into the Factory Alpine system or is it totally separate? The PAC unit is so you can keep the factory UConnect system and pull signal from it to feed aftermarket DSPs, Amps, and Speakers. That‘s what I have running in my 2015. Since you already changed...

    I’m very confused about what you currently have in your truck and what your end goal is.

    Muliti Amp integration 2022 Limited with 19 speaker HK

    What do you mean by multi-amp? Are you planning to replace the factory speakers with an aftermarket set? Just trying to get more volume from the factory ones? Most well known interfaces are from PAC Audio and NAV-TV although I don’t know if either support the newest HK systems. I’m not a fan...

    Looking for a full audio upgrade writeup or thread. Radio, speakers, amp and sub.

    Ok, that’s VERY different than the factory Alpine. I would get a DSP with enough channels to handle the final number of speakers you would ever have. I have a 12 channel Mosconi with a few empty channels. 6 front (three way) 2 rear doors but have room to go two way back there if I want. 1 for...

    Looking for a full audio upgrade writeup or thread. Radio, speakers, amp and sub.

    Quick thoughts: 1. Use a PAC interface, do NOT try to sum the signals into a DSP. 2. Three way systems really work well. Simply drop the midranges into the dash positions for a stealth install. Unless you really want to do Pillars. 3. No experience with either of those speaker sets. I pieced...
