No, I didn't do the 77KICK speakers. I upgraded all the speaker to these:
41KSC354 - dash speakers
40CS654-fronts
40CS6934-rears

Won't work with those?

No sir. For the front now, if you feel you need more power, is add an aftermarket 4 channel amp. It wont have the DSP, but originally the DSP amp is for the OEM style speakers only.
Now you can purchase amps that have a DSP, or purchase a separate DSP and tune it.

So would it work if I changed the fronts to the 77KICK28? Also do you think it would be an improvement over the the upgrade I have already done?

That's a lot of questions, so thanks for any suggestions you may have...it's much appreciated.

To add on to this Graygoose, will the new amp for 2013+ vehicles work well for those of us who have done the Kicker upgrade speakers all around? I changed out all 6 speakers to the plug and play upgrades and was planning on adding the app when it comes out soon.

In other words, will the new amp be "only" for base audio systems with the factory speakers still installed or will it complete the Kicker plug and play upgrades?

Maybe this will be best to answer together. With the open lag between the '13 and '15s, I would love to suggest R&D actually do BOTH tunes. It cant be a HUGE gap, but some much needed time to setup a new tune. If someone had the real 77KICK speakers, have a tune file for it we burn them in here anyway. Then have a OEM stock speaker tune. There'd be less 77KICK tunes, but still, obviously some would like that tune. But they couldn't be tuned for a variety of speakers. But I agree, we should do them for OEM and 77KICK tunes.
I will ask and get back you on this!

PRAMCQ13 KICKER® Multi-Channel Amplifier Upgrade Kit for 2013 & newer Dodge Ram Crew Cab and Quad Cab with Base Audio is now in stock and shipping.
See any local authorized Kicker dealer to order this front stage amp. Not for Alpine systems, and must have retained factory OEM speakers.

Most have used HiFi Sound Connection with the "make an offer" tab.

I am still trying to get an amp for people that upgraded to either the 77KICK or CS line.
I honestly believe there's a market and I'm a part of it. They could even package this as a complete upgrade kit, but of course sell component for early adopters...

If you want, you can also email Hi Fi, inquire about the kit. Orders are shipping now on people that already had kits on order.
I bet he will order very soon, both Hifi and Sonic are great dealers.

Graygoose, hypothetically speaking what would happen if one were to install this amp in a truck without OEM speakers? Say for example all of the original speakers were replaced by the Kicker Upgrade speakers.
