Update on my Kicker CS system

[corneileous]

I have no idea why they don't use them. I told a couple techs about the spacers and they seemed surprised. seems like a foolish thing NOT to carry them as they worked perfectly. yes we have the same issue with the front doors, I'd think every ram would due to the window motor track being directly behind the speaker. that's what's limiting your depth.

I put these in with a top-mount depth: 3-3/16" and they fit perfectly with the 1/4" bracket extensions.

Product Highlights:

• 3-way 6"x9" speakers (pair)
• polypropylene woofer cone with polyester foam surround
• polypropylene midrange driver and 1/2" polyetherimide (PEI) balanced dome tweeter
• handles up to 150 watts RMS (450 watts peak power)
• frequency response: 30-20,000 Hz
• sensitivity: 92 dB
• top-mount depth: 3-3/16"

So you put those in your front doors? Those are 4-ohm speakers, so how do they sound? How’s the bass? What’s the impedance of your factory sound system? These Kickers are what the powers at be over at Crutchfield advised me as suitable replacements for the factory 6x9 subs in my old Ram. They didn’t sound worth a crap. No disrespect to the speakers, these are the 4-ohm replacements I was talking about earlier on a 2-ohm system. I still have them, tho if you might be interested in them for your back doors of they’ll fit. I’m gonna get rid of them someday since I was too dumb to send the sumbitches back long time ago...lol. When I went to return that Pioneer sub that I had bought for the underseat replacement, they told me I was well within the 60-day return period and uh, I had pulled them out long before that and stuffed them back in the box.

not sure if there are spacers on the stock speakers from just the pictures. i'll have to check when I'm at home

But see, that’s what’s weird tho because in my old truck that had spacers on the front factory 6x9s, I don’t think they really even needed them because those kickers that I linked in my previous post, fit just fine without spacers. Even the holes lined up pretty good.

He has base audio, so 4 ohm work, yours having Infinity, similar to Alpine, requires a 2 ohm speaker. Two different installs.

I was wondering about that. Doesn’t make any sense to me at all as to why the higher-ended Infinity and Alpine audio systems are on a 2-ohm system instead of a 4-ohm.

To get more power out of the amplifier.

Well yeah, I guess that would make sense. If all of that was 4-ohm, that’d be one enormous amplifier because doesn’t one amp run all of that, even the sub under the rear seat?

Yes the amp runs 9 speakers.

just for fun some pictures of my fiberglass Atrend box with dual 10" subs that I got used for a STEAL! $250.00 CAD for both box and subs....worth about $900 USD/$1100 CAD

I'm considering swapping these 10" Type S subs out for possibly some SKAR, Sundown, or maybe Type R 10" instead.

I hear pioneer makes really good subs.
