    Amplifying Factory Speakers

    Just my opinion - I don't think you'll get much more out of the factory speakers by sending them more power; my base 6 already was able to send them more than they could handle given their puny composition. Most folks will probably advise (myself as well) to do an amp and new speakers at the...

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    There are mixed reports that the head unit needs to sense a load otherwise it will shut off the channel. Some folks bought resistors for this purpose, also some of the harnesses have resistors built in. Many LOCs and DSPs, including the DSP I used also present a load for this reason. That could...

    Speaker question

    Yes, mine is completely bypassed although it still receives power and canbus - I didn't want the computer to get mad at me 😄. I bought the PAC APH-CH01 harness (I have the Base 6 stereo)

    Alpine SBT-S10V - Any thoughts??

    7 1/4" depth at the bottom sounds a little too fat to fit behind the seat, but it's close. It's about 6 3/4" if you don't fold the seat up (the seat back moves closer to the back wall by about an inch as it folds up. A less slanted enclosure might work better if you can find one - a lot of folks...

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    My recommendation is to tie in to the ANC speaker input side (from the head unit), not the outputs - this is how the harnesses like the PAC APH-CH01 that I used in my system work... although with the mics disconnected it's probably a very similar signal coming out of the ANC. And to get in...

    Fiberglass Tonneau Covers

    I have the Mopar cover - I liked the styling best among the limited options in 2019.

    4" Dash Speakers

    I put Morel CAT 308's in the dash, they're a 4" plate tweeter - but there's a catch... I trimmed the front plate down so that it would fit the 3.5" opening - and they were a tight fit both on circumference and depth. Sound great up there though!

    Connect subwoofer amp with 8.4 screen and 6 speaker system

    Most of us have tapped Fuse 66 on the internal fuse box for amp turn-on - it works as you would expect / want it to.

    Minnesota Winter Tires?

    Exact same here, also in MN - love Blizzaks, I run them on the factory wheels. In summer I run Firestone Destination LE3 on Raceline Spike wheels. I was so happy to get rid of the factory Alenzas - those things are trash!

    Trying to find 20x9 with a simple design

    Buying wheels for a vehicle is like buying a tie to go with a suit, everyone has a very particular taste and there are a million options. I went with Raceline Spike wheels and I really love them, quality seems great and I liked both the style and the price. Raceline Spike 159B 20x8.5 +15

    Adding aftermarket amplifiers

    This is exactly what I did - under the frame rails on the driver's side (I put my 0 gauge into aluminum flex tube first - and then up & through behind the seats. There was 1 existing grommet & hole that was the right size, and I expanded a 2nd hole until it was large enough (I bought new rubber...

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    The audio cutout is a concern - could be a speaker failing mechanically (intermittent short with load), something in the head unit, or anywhere in-between. The good news is the head unit amplifier will not be taxed by just sending signal to the LOC via the Kicker load module. And if it's a...
