2012 Express dash Speakers

[just plain bill]

Are the small dash speakers even hooked up in my truck? I can't here them at all. I didn't know there were any speakers installed before I popped the grills out. Any info on this will be a big help.
Thanks, Bill

Did you purchase the truck new, and if so can you tell me or post a picture of them ?

I couldn't hear mine in my 2015 until the DSP in the amp brought them to life.

pull em out and either watch/feel the cone when music is playing or meter the wires when music is playing.

I have a 2015 with the 5.0 with the stock speakers. What's and easy and effective way to upgrade?

Depends if you want to just change the speakers out, or, add a 4.1 amp to power the factory speakers. This will be available mid November.
But just swapping out the factory speakers can be done anytime.

The Kicker Mopar speakers are a direct fit, and factory plug and play.

What do the speakers run?

Need to make my front kicker dash speaker 8 ohm. Anyone care to show me how?

I boxed my 4-ohm speakers and send them back to crutchfields. 4-ohm there did not sound pretty. I don't think there is a way to make those little speakers change impedance because they are a single voice coil.

Thanks Guys, I did pull the drivers side speaker out and I cant see it or feel it working. I had the 130 with uconnect but changed out to a 430 rbz last month. the radio change was just plug n play.

I took out the 4 ohm ones and put back the 8 ohm stock ones in the dash. Sounds a little better, less bright.

I pulled the factory speakers and added the Kicker 41KSC354 now all is well!

Buy a couple of these and connect one of 'em in series with either wire on each speaker.

So buy two and then just cut one of the wires either positive or negative and solder one to a wire? That simple lol

Hope your car insurance will cover when that resistor starts a fire with the fabric under the dash. That thing is going to get hot. Even if it holds up it will sound worse.

I would NOT recommend adding a resistor. It is going to soak up a lot of the power. Why not just play at 4 ohms?

Had no idea they would get that hot , well going to remove them don't want a fire
