    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    12" screen HK system here, and I confirm that the PAC AmpPro AP4-CH41 (R.2) does work with the 12" screen.

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    You're thinking is right, you could use the factory sub as a mid bass, but you need to cut off its frequencies at the right point, and in order to do so you need a DSP. But, in reality, your new subwoofer will be able to handle all those frequencies by itself...…. I'm not sure what cab...

    I see, you're right, my 3500 HD comes with the 8 inch sub. You've got a bigger sub. (y)

    Factory HK sub is 8 inches, not 10 inches.

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    Why would you want to do that ? Aftermarket sub + factory sub= if you don't have a good DSP to phase align them properly: all they're going to do is to conflict with each other's frequencies, you won't get their real potential, lot's of insignificant rumble, annoying doubled and / or cancelled...

    The AudioControl LC2i is only a speaker level signal(s) line converter. You will be converting a signal that is already been processed by your HK amplifier. The PAC AP4-CH41 (R.2) picks up the source signal before the HK amplifier / processor. The advantage on doing so is: 1. you get a cleaner...

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    The pac amp-pro ap4-ch41(R.2) works well, that's what I have on my HK system upgrade. It has 6 channels pre-amp outputs (front, rear and non fading / subwoofer) and a bass knob. You can use 2 channels out of the PAC to connect a mono amp and subwoofer (chanel 5 & 6, so you can use the bass...

    Force hold audio source

    LOL ! That's a funny answer...... :ROFLMAO: Yes my brother, you're s..... out of luck ………. Hey! At least you have Bluetooth!! But unlike us "big rollers" with the fancy brand name sound systems: if you ever were to upgrade your truck stereo in the future, believe me it will be a lot easier...

    Choices for subwoofer and audio

    I had the same Stealthbox on my 2016 RAM, what I did was: I replaced the 10w3v3 with a 10w6v3-D4, mounted on a "3/8 spacer to clear the bottom of the box. Even so the box was kind of undersized for a 10w6, it was feed with a JL 600/1 Slash v3 amplifier that was signal processed by a Helix DSP...

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    I thought about that same location several times, it makes the most sense. Do you happen to know who this guy is ? It would be nice to get some feedback / tips in how to carefully disassemble the left side of the center console.

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    If your radio is "non amplified" the easiest location to tap into the rear speakers wires would be behind the radio (Black 52 pin plug, pins 48-52 and 45-49) If your radio "has an amplifier" the easiest way would be to tap into the amplifier gray 22 pin plug (pins 4-15 and 5-16, for the rear...

    That's a nice location, unfortunately mine has the trailer brake controller in there. So, until I find a good spot without drilling a hole in the center console: this is were I wedged mine.

    First Tank for First Truck Ever from Saudi Arabia

    Every time I look at my truck I hear this song in my head: "When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie: That's amooooore !!!" Heheee...…. ( I hope my better half won't read this comment, before I know I'll be sleeping in my truck for a week !! :D )

    Hello Shamlan, Thank you for responding, it's very kind of you. The price per gallon for diesel in your Country ………… Waoww...that's super cheap !! I can see why GM is leading the competition with their luxurious "Denali" line of pickup trucks. But, like you said, the new 5th generation RAM's...

    I understand your concern, and indeed you're right in regards of all the confusion in this forum about factory wiring and polarity. I'm glad to hear that what I posted matches your diagram / existing wiring, and I hope I didn't offend you with my straight forward answer. Some members in here...

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    Yes it matters, just follow the LOC instructions, you already have all the color codes and their respective polarity in hand (unless you're color blind, even if you were you can then use the pin numbers). It's not that difficult. Just take your time to do it right.
