    5 channel amp install question for base 6 speaker system

    I’ve since added a shallow 12” and am now finishing installing 2 sundown 10’s. Seat lift, sound deadening etc. last night I ended up ordering an audio control lc7i setup from net audio ($400) so I can finally run both amps cleanly and easily. Hopefully I can get it working installed next week

    SKAR audio 12 inch enclosure and some other stuff...

    I have the same box with Skars vd12d2. It sounded awesome until yesterday. I’m hoping I can fit a sundown sld 12” sub in it. It has about a 1/4 more mounting depth but can be mounted up against the box since there’s no vents in the magnet.

    Muffler upgrade: MBRP or Total Flow?

    I have the total flow. It was $100-$130. It sounds great. I sealed up the weep holes on my resonators. It’s deep on start up and mellows out. It has a decent rumble at cruising speed and sounds throaty wide open

    Shorty headers for 21 ram 1500 5.7

    They don’t care much these days as long as it passes emissions and there’s no check engine light. I had long tubes on my 07 f150 but they were catted. I passed every time I went to inspection in Randolph

    Confused on what door speakers to get

    I have a hemi. Not sure if the eco diesel has different speakers. I didn’t take any pictures of the install but I used a Rockville 10” powered sub off Amazon for $130. It’s not too shabby. I have it laying on angle on the hump under the seat and stuck some double sided Velcro and 2 screws into...

    Confused on what door speakers to get

    I bypassed the anc. Put better 8 ohm speakers in the dash. I used the speaker adapters from crutchfield and bass blockers. That was a huge improvement from stock. Added the powered sub a few days later. I want more out of my doors. The stock 6x9’s aren’t loud at all. I might try the power bass...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Yea, it’s good stuff for the cost. I used the hybrid solutions ceramic spray just to see how it stacks up to the flex wax. I got my truck used about two years ago. The paint was hammered. So I Compounded it and polished. Finished it off with the flex wax. It lasted about a year with weekly Auto...

    Confused on what door speakers to get

    I have the base system. The upgraded the 8 ohm dash speakers and it made a huge difference. There aren’t many 2 ohm 6x9 options for the doors. I was trying to match all the stock ohms with aftermarket for a better/louder sound running off the stock headunit . I installed 4ohm 6x9’s in the front...

    2020 Bighorn radio volume won’t get loud

    Get 8 ohm dash speakers, fade two clicks to the front. Don’t use CarPlay if you want to listen to loud music. In my truck xm sounds the best. Bluetooth is ok but still not great
