    Stereo Speaker Upgrade Troubleshooting Help - 2019 Laramie w/ 8.4 U Connect and HK "Premium" Stereo System

    Hello. I just wanted to thank everyone for all the assistance, I really appreciate it. In the end it was just bad connections. If I remember correctly, I think they are called Metra…. Anyway, I had purchased connectors that take the stock stereo wires and convert them to regular wires used...

    Stereo Speaker Upgrade Troubleshooting Help - 2019 Laramie w/ 8.4 U Connect and HK "Premium" Stereo System

    I wouldn’t be incredibly surprised if I somehow damaged a speaker during install, the metra adapters came reversed, or there is a short (at least on the 6.5). Since the speakers came from my old ram, there was a significant amount of handling compared to speakers out of the box. When I first...

    Stereo Speaker Upgrade Troubleshooting Help - 2019 Laramie w/ 8.4 U Connect and HK "Premium" Stereo System

    Hello, The one speaker is the Kicker 43CSC654 4 ohm and the other is Kicker 43CSC354 4 ohm. They are not the correct ohms but many other people have installed these specific speakers with zero issues, the only downside should be that they are not as loud.

    Stereo Speaker Upgrade Troubleshooting Help - 2019 Laramie w/ 8.4 U Connect and HK "Premium" Stereo System

    I tried disconnecting the battery for a few hours. It didn’t fix the problem but it must have updated the face of my stereo because the icons have changed. The next step will be pulling the panels as soon as the weather clears.

    Stereo Speaker Upgrade Troubleshooting Help - 2019 Laramie w/ 8.4 U Connect and HK "Premium" Stereo System

    Yeah that would be a great idea if I still had them. I had these in my previous RAM so when I sold it I swapped the speakers. I actually bought another set of these speakers so I could trade one out but I had planned to sell them new in box.

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    Thanks. I got my box last week, just waiting for time to remove the amp from my Gen 4 and reinstall in this truck. It looks like I might not need a LOC at all. It looks like my Amp has the feature built in, so I could just use the wires from the factory sub. If it doesn't work, I didn't...

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    I have an HK system.. Would this allow me to splice into the speaker wires to feed a LOC for my sub amp while still using the factory amp for all other speakers? There have been t harnesses that people have used for this but from my research, they were not compatible with the HK system.

    Sub install with H/k system. LOVE IT!

    Looks great. Thank you for the review - I have been on the fence about this box and I think I have my answer. I have two questions about the specific box that I haven't been able to find in any search. If anyone knows the answer, it would be greatly appreciated. 1. It looks like we both...

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    I'm planning to do the same as I move everything from my Gen 4 to my Gen 5. The box I had for my Gen 4 isn't going to fit and the LOC doesn't sound like it is preferred. I was looking at the same box for my JL. How do you like it? I have the reclining rear seats, do you know if they will...

    Hello Again, I just wanted to add some additional notes... 1. This thread is about a possible mobile device solution that will get around the IOS or Android Car Play App so that you use blocked or unsupported applications in CarPlay (watch video and others). I have not tested this but this is...

    Mod to watch video on screen

    Just bought a 2019 and I was searching for the same thing... I was hoping that someone had possibly flashed a custom operating system or rooted the stereo, since many are based off a modified version of Android. I have jailbroken and rooted iPhones and Android Phones and once it failed and...
