    For those with 6 speaker base stereo who have upgraded-What speaker did you use?

    The Infinity speakers are 3 ohm (they actually measure 2.6 ohm). You can get the FaitalPRO in the 8 ohm version.

    2020 RAM Laramie 4WD Audio System Build w/ 12" Display and JL Audio Stealthbox

    Thanks... I hope they sound as good as they cost. I am running from my amp in the back to the factory speaker wires at the amp under the seat. Fighting with running thru the kick panel and door grommet is not worth it in my opinion, and I can assure you that I'll never notice a difference one...

    For those with 6 speaker base stereo who have upgraded-What speaker did you use?

    There are a lot of owners using the Infinity speakers with good results. I personally like the FaitalPRO speakers better, and I along with several others use them in our trucks. You can get those in 4 or 8 ohm from Parts Express. I tested and measured them in my build thread. Here is the...

    2020 RAM Laramie 4WD Audio System Build w/ 12" Display and JL Audio Stealthbox

    2020 RAM Laramie 4WD Audio System Build w/ 12" Display and JL Audio Stealthbox

    I have the HK system, not the Alpine. The Alpine dash speakers may be 2 ohm. If you have a volt/ohm meter, you can test the speaker and see what it measures. lol... If I don't stop I may get there first. These are what I installed today. I made mounting plates for them so that I could...

    2020 RAM Laramie 4WD Audio System Build w/ 12" Display and JL Audio Stealthbox

    Thanks... got my 6 channel JL amp in and the HAT Unity 6x9's and the HAT Legatia X3-P dash speakers... still waiting on the miniDSP. I've had the upper door speakers disconnected for about a week now and I've not noticed any adverse effects from it... as in no noticeable difference in the ANC...

    2020 RAM Laramie 4WD Audio System Build w/ 12" Display and JL Audio Stealthbox

    Yep... back to the amp. And about the only place I could find for it that would work flush and look good was on the center panel. However, you'll have to get the Dremel out and do some delicate trimming on the back side, as the controller box is 1" x 1" square. I even had to remove the panel...

    2020 RAM Laramie 4WD Audio System Build w/ 12" Display and JL Audio Stealthbox

    It works well for me... and I like the knob better.

    2020 RAM Laramie 4WD Audio System Build w/ 12" Display and JL Audio Stealthbox

    You don't really need the control knob on the PAC... other than to use temporarily to set the minimum volume level, then you are done with it. If you use the optical output, then set the minimum volume fully open, all the way up. And you will also need to increase the trim level on the...

    AmpPro 3 Band EQ Findings

    When I went from RCA inputs from the JL LoC to Optical on the PAC, I noticed a huge drop in the gain, so I ended up having to connect the control knob for the PAC and increase the minimum volume all the way up to get the amp up to where it needed to be.... as there is no input sensitivity to...

    AmpPro 3 Band EQ Findings

    What was the nightmare? I know of the HK system the front door and dash speakers are the center plug on the amp, green w/ color stripes and gray w/ color stripes. I don't think there is an adapter to use there, but you could cut and tie into those wires to keep from having to fish thru the...

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    Fully agree, although I've added a sub, it sounds very good without one. These RAM trucks could easily be one of best sounding bass trucks without a sub.

    2020 RAM Laramie 4WD Audio System Build w/ 12" Display and JL Audio Stealthbox

    So remember that statement I made in my first post, "it's good enough I can live with it and not have to go thru the a full overhaul". This is something you should NEVER say! If it were TRUE, I would not have ordered another JL amp (6-channel) and another miniDSP C-DSP 8x12 DL (after selling...

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    Looking forward to your install... be sure to start a fresh thread so we can follow it. FWIW... I can no longer recommend using the LoC-22 with the subwoofer speaker leads due to amplifying the ANC thru the subwoofer. See my build thread (this post) for full details.

    Harman Kardon Boomy Bass

    I got black, but I did install rubber mats, which covered up the carpet loops that trap bass notes... then I put a ceramic coat on the exterior, so that's even more reflection... it's all my fault.

    Harman Kardon Boomy Bass

    The only thing I can assume is that there are apparently different software updates that are affecting the differences everyone seems to be hearing. As several have stated "after" the update, it no longer sounded boomy. So maybe some trucks were already fixed whenever they were purchased. I...

    2020 RAM Laramie 4WD Audio System Build w/ 12" Display and JL Audio Stealthbox

    Update... I disconnected the upper door speakers today, and covered the opening with closed cell foam. This really does help the sound stage in my opinion... puts it more up front, and it just seems smoother all around... not as confused to me. Don't get me wrong, it's not ever going to be SQ...

    Harman Kardon Boomy Bass

    Thanks... it has taken a good bit of work to get it sounding good, but we are definitely getting there... WITHOUT the factory sub!

    AmpPro 3 Band EQ Findings

    I have the ANC bypass, and there is no way I'd ever use it permanently, as it defeats my purpose of purchasing the RAM, which is a quiet ride, and I don't want anything to interfere with it. I used the PAC in my previous system with the sub unplugged and it was flawless. The ANC continued to...

    2020 RAM Laramie 4WD Audio System Build w/ 12" Display and JL Audio Stealthbox

    Yes, that is correct. It sends a combined full range signal to the amp. As long as your amp, or your DSP if you are going to a DSP first (such as the miniDSP, etc) has an optical input. The JL VX1000 amp that I have just happens to have an optical input. I'm with you, I don't see why they...
