2025 speaker issues-driver side distortion

[AdiRAM]

Anyone have any luck with finding anything? I have been texting service mgr and even he is like sounds like RAM doesnt have a fix for it. This is wild, i even feel like when i accelerate a little in lower speeds it gets a little louder then levels out. blows my mind

I would try the ANC by-pass harness.
Its cheap if you’re in the states.

Cost me $70 cdn to have one shipped off ebay.

On top of the speaker issues I am having a number of electrical gremlins. The instrument cluster will not fo to the dim settings at night, the radio will randomly start on a FM station, had the front collision sensor randomly for out and couldn't use the cruise control, the map feature in the instrument cluster randomly doesn't work. I am starting to think that this truck will only get worse as it ages. At only 2800 miles and having these issues, what will it look like at 20,000 miles.

Looking at trading it on a 2026 Tundra 1794.

it's a shame. tech's don't really get diagnostic time so they fire a parts cannon at the problem and pray it fixes something. it sounds like a ANC issue.
as far as it getting worse i kinda like a good used truck because the first owner get's the bugs worked out. the 2025's have that new can bus system it's bound to have some issues. depending on the lemon law in your state i would take it back to the dealer till i could force a buyback rather than trade it in.

What Qualifies as a "Lemon" in Texas?

• Substantial Defect:
  The defect must be a significant manufacturing problem that impairs the vehicle's use, value, or safety.
  
  
• • Warranty Coverage:
    The defect must be covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
    
  • Reported to Dealership:
    You must report the defect to an authorized manufacturer dealership within the warranty period.
    
  • Reasonable Repair Attempts:
    The manufacturer must be given a reasonable number of opportunities to repair the defect:
    
    • • For non-serious safety hazards, this is typically four or more attempts for the same issue.
        
      • For serious safety hazards, two or more attempts may be enough.
        
  • Time Limits:
    The defect must persist after these attempts have been made within a specific timeframe:
    
    • • The first two repair attempts should occur within the first 12 months or 12,000 miles of ownership.
        
      • The final two attempts should occur within the next 12 months or 12,000 miles.

I actually thought about it hard this weekend and will be keeping my Ram. I will continue to work with Ram/Stellantis on the issues and may take the path of a Lemon Law buy back.

I've had the door panels off on my last two rams at least 6 times. It's not too hard actually. I've also found that applying a damping materials does quite a bit helping keep rattles and vibrations down. If you go his route, use a quality product.

Dynmat is good. Personally NVX Tri Layer is my favorite.

If you are trouble shooting a rattle with the door panels off, do yourself a favor and put the 4 retainer bolts back into the nuts. Otherwise the nuts will rattle with bass and you'll wonder wtf is going on.

Door vibrations are a pain in the ***.

Maybe a stupid question but make sure you take everything out of the pockets B4 diving I into the doors. More than once I had some rattling and it ended up being keys, a bolt, tool, etc in the pockets.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will be tackling the rattling issue once it cools down here in Houston.

The door pockets were empty.

I can actually stop the rattle by just putting the palm of my hand over the grill and applying very little pressure.

Well at least you know where it's coming for. Easier to tackle that way. Best of luck. Go slow on the removal. It's not hard, but good to make sure you don't break something up being too gorilla. Once you do 1 or 2 it's easy.

i have plastic grills my friend has the hk with metal grills the grill has metal folded over to secure it to the panel it's possible you could tighten the grill up. my alpine system was using the doors for mid woofers they played pretty low that can also contribute to door rattle but a new truck should not have problems
