    Base 6 speaker upgrade options?

    I got my amp and sub done yesterday at a local reputable shop. I ended up getting: Infinity Kappa Five (5 ch) amp JL 12" 12W1V3 - Downfiring sealed enclosure Wavetech Link6 Previously installed by me: 4X Infinity Reference REF697F 2X Infinity Reference REF307F Very happy with how it turned...

    harman kardon is nothing than a bag of trash

    The B&O system in my wife's 2019 Expedition is actually pretty nice. Best OEM audio system I've ever heard. If my Ram sounded like that, don't think I'd replace it with aftermarket. One thing that I've always found interesting: B&O, Bose, HK and many of the others don't make aftermarket car...

    Should you engage 4WD periodically?

    Alright, popped it's 4WD cherry this morning on the way to work. Nothing exploded lol.

    Should you engage 4WD periodically?

    That sounds like a good time to do this. I'll have to remember to do that when it's raining. That makes sense. I'll start doing this. I've had it for 4 months and haven't hit that button yet.

    harman kardon is nothing than a bag of trash

    For an OEM system, it's pretty good. My wife has the B&O system in her Expedition and that sounds pretty good as well. I bought my '23 new 4 months ago. I was looking at deals on the leftover '23's in the area. Had to choose between one with the Alpine system and no tow package, or one with tow...

    Should you engage 4WD periodically?

    To those that are doing this: Are you doing it on dirt (not pavement)? It's not good to engage 4WD on dry pavement. I've had mine 4 months and haven't taken it off road yet. I have a Jeep for that.

    Ram Rifle (custom rifle)

    Saw this on Facebook. Someone made themselves a custom rifle. Pretty sick!

    Gen5 RAM subwoofer replacement - Pioneer shallow or harman kardon from laramie?

    More info in this thread: Base 6 speaker upgrade options? I haven't done it yet. Debating whether I want to do it myself, or pay to have it done. PAC makes connectors to add amps or just subs. PAC – Connecting cars and technology. Your total installation solution.

    RAM Wave

    I've had Jeeps for over 10 years, more of a Jeep thing. Never seen it catch on with any other vehicle. Even with Jeeps, many won't wave back. Pretty much only expect a wave if you are driving a modded Jeep and the other guy is also driving a modded Jeep. Wave to a bone stock Jeep and they are...

    Full audio upgrade and sound treatment

    Subscribing, nice work! Started searching threads to see if I want to tackle installing an amp myself. Looking for simple ideas I might be able to re-produce. This would be the exact opposite of what I have in mind haha. There doesn't appear to be any duct tape in your setup.

    Base 6 speaker upgrade options?

    I didn't know you could add an amp without having to run new wires to all the speakers. Which device would let me add an amp and a sub later? I'd probably do the amp first and then a sub later since it looks like an amp is much more affordable.

    Base 6 speaker upgrade options?

    I felt like there wasn't as much bass without the ANC bypass. I finished installing the rear speakers yesterday, sounds great (for a system with no amp or sub). I'll have to try unplugging the ANC bypass and see if I hear a difference. I'm definitely wanting an amp now and probably a sub, but...

    Help with Sound System Please

    I always roll my eyes when I hear 'premium audio' which usually means a higher quantity of speakers and a crappy small sub, but not really much better sound. The one exception I can think of is my wife has a Ford Expedtion with a B&O premium audio system which actually sounds pretty good for...

    Help with Sound System Please

    Just keep in mind it's really not worth paying more for a truck just because of the audio system. I bought my '23 3 months ago and was looking at other '23's that many dealers had good prices on. I ended up having a choice between one that had the 9 speaker Alpine system and the one I bought...

    Looking for advice on buying a new 5th gen 1500

    First world problems lol... I bought my 2023 new about 3 months ago and did consider the Tundra. Main issue for me was the look of the front end. I was ok with the look of the rest. I literally spent some time looking at Tundra's near me by holding up my hand to block off the front end about...

    Found and OEM switch on Ebay. Glad that wasn't expensive.

    Window Button - Where to buy?

    Found an aftermarket one on Amazon for $16, but reviews are not the best. OE Number:56046832AB/56046832AC https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C3D3JS22/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A21KP1HVRVAQRP&psc=1

    Window Button - Where to buy?

    I broke the back seat passenger side window button while installing speakers. Where's the best place to get a replacement?

    Base 6 speaker upgrade options?

    I bought the PAC ANC-CH01. Not really having issues, but figured I'd get it in case there are problems when I install the rear speakers. Looks like an easy plug in.

    Base 6 speaker upgrade options?

    I installed the 3.5" in the dash yesterday morning and did the front 6X9 this morning. Stopped because it was getting hot and my hands were cramping up a bit from prying the door panels off. Not too difficult, just tedious and a learning curve to get the door handle wire out and get the door...
