    H/K audio upgrade - VAST Improvment

    Only the reclining seats have this easy access pull loop. Standard seats do not.

    HK subwoofer ohm rating

    The only update I am aware of was, I believe, late 2018/early 2019. It increased volume and maybe bass. There has not been any amplifier update for the HK system since.

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    Just a warning to guys who want to at least have the option to return speakers they don't end up liking or working well with their setup... I went to return a pair to Sonic Electronix this week and was DENIED because "power was applied" making them used and unreturnable. I'm sorry, but WHAT...

    HK subwoofer ohm rating

    Music is stereo and generally should only be coming from directly in front of you. I don't know why you think there should be any rear fill or equally weighted sound coming from the rear, but if that's what you like, go for it. As for the rear window rattle, search here on the forums. Some of us...

    rear HK tweeter removal

    Large plastic pry tool to spread out the force and avoid denting the fiberboard headliner. Takes a lot of force, but it does pop out.

    HK Rear Seat Sound

    You put all that effort in and left the stock subwoofer hooked up? Dude, go disconnect that piece of garbage right now.

    Harman Kardon Boomy Bass

    I'd say that's a non-issue for a solid state amplifier based on a quick search on the matter. I've been running mine for months with the subwoofer unplugged, as do many others who do anything aftermarket.

    HK subwoofer ohm rating

    To my knowledge, the amplifier cannot be updated OTA. So whatever update you received likely did not change your sound system.

    Dead Battery Poll

    This happened 3 days ago - didn't drive my March 2020 Limited eTorque just a few days, and was working on some speaker upgrades/testing. Had the truck in ACC for about 2 hours total and the battery went dead in the middle of listening to music through a few speakers. Read 7.8 volts on the...

    H/K audio upgrade - VAST Improvment

    Those Legatia's are a bit too rich for my blood (~$1,000 per speaker?), plus I didn't want to power them with an aftermarket amp. Only 1 day with the Hertz 700.3 ML's and so far I'm pretty pleased with them and they do just fine on the stock HK amp. May be worth trying!

    HK subwoofer ohm rating

    If you have Harman Kardon, I would avoid tapping the factory sub wire just because the unchangeable amplifier EQ is awful. Aside from that, if you have active noise cancellation, I would advise not tapping the factory speaker wires unless you get the ANC bypass running or disconnect the...

    HK subwoofer ohm rating

    Kicker CX 800, mostly because you have plenty of headroom to do something better/different with it in the future. CX 400 works just fine too and is cheaper, but less power if you add a real sub later. They also fit behind the rear seats (between seat and wall carpet). Not really. If the boomy...

    H/K audio upgrade - VAST Improvment

    Did you ever get around to trying anything from Hertz? Last I saw you kept with your Legatia's, but not sure I want to venture that deep. I was thinking maybe the ML 700.3 would work decently since it's only 1 dB less efficient than the 3FE22's I'm currently using...

    3rd brake light gasket replacement

    Take it off... otherwise you're not actually changing anything. I have seen this "fix" talked about but have not done it personally. The stock gasket does look pretty mediocre, but I have a hard time believing a longtime auto manufacturer used ineffective material for a water sealing gasket...

    Heated steering wheel upgrade

    It does get too hot. One of the review magazines noted this too. Think these RAMs were some of the hottest ever tested. I appreciate how quickly it heats up, but man... not comfortable to hold after about 10 minutes and I have to shut it off which I also don't want to do. They were smart enough...

    Black lugs: which did you buy.???

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/24-Pc-2019-20-DODGE-RAM-1500-BLACK-OEM-TYPE-SOLID-LUG-NUTS-14x1-50-1709DBK-/392122246552?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292 I bought these... 2 sets actually. Currently out of stock so you may need to ask if they'll come back in stock, or find an equivalent. They are very...

    Harman Kardon Boomy Bass

    Yeah I've read/watched that marketing info but as far as I can tell it's outright BS. How does one tune a system to a genre of music? Maybe there are certain nuances to EQ, but the bass being completely screwed up even when listening to country music doesn't seem like it hit the mark to me LOL.

    2021 Ram improved dash speakers?

    You can for a few hundred bucks and hours of work. My advice though, just unplug it for free with 5 minutes of work.

    Clear Film or ceramic coat?

    As mentioned, each does something different. You will never need to PPF the entire truck, unless you are going to otherwise beat the crap out of the paint (off-roading, poor washing technique or brush auto washes) and want to keep it nice. I'd at least PPF the front bumper (if painted) and the...

    Do I have to carry the key everywhere?

    You can lock the fob inside the truck with Sirius/Uconnect Guardian, no faraday bag required. Truck can tell if the fob is inside or outside the cab, so people can't just walk up and unlock the truck by touching the handle. But, that's not secure (equipped thieves can just clone the fob signal)...
