Hi all,
I have 2018 Ram 2500 crewcab and have already upgraded from RA1 to RA2 radio. (I have the base 6 speaker non-Alpine system.)
So, I've searched and read about 4 ohm replacement dash speakers overpowering/ being louder than the front door speakers.
I remembered I had a 77KICK11 setup that I bought for an older Ram, but didn't like it. So I installed the 3.5" Kickers from that older kit just to see how they sounded, and yep, they definitely overpower the door speakers. So I checked them with a meter and they're 3.7 ohm.
I was looking at the 77KICK28AB kit in order to get clearer/crisper highs. I realize this is a popular upgrade, but I'm curious if the 3.5" speakers in this kit have 8 ohm impedance? I'd like the improved sound but not the overpowering volume. Can anybody who has this kit confirm the impedance on the dash speakers?
*EDIT* I SEE THAT THE DASH SPEAKERS IN THE KIT ARE NOT 3.5", BUT 1" TWEETERS*
I can't seem to find any 3.5" 2-way aftermarket speakers that are 8 ohm...
I'm not new to car audio but I am new to this truck.
