I am looking at upgrading my Ram 1500 12 HK speakers and amp. Anyone do this looking for what works. Please keep this post for this specific radio..thanks

Agreed! I have the same set up and it’s no where near loud enough. I can have a talking conversation with it turned up all the way. Disappointing

Agreedx2 - Sound isn't half bad, but definitely not loud enough.

There’s NO WAY you’ve had the TSB performed on your HK system if you can have a “talking conversation” at any volume above 20, let alone at 38.

Do a search...there are probably 100+ posts in one thread alone about this TSB.

I typically have my system at 6-8 for background music and turn it up to 10-15 for a good song. I’ve hit 38 only once...jamming out to “No Sleep til Brooklyn” with a truck full of dudes that remember the Beastie Boys

Good to know. I’m going to call tomorrow to schedule an appointment! Thanks!

Mine is plenty loud at 22. Definitely can't have a conversation at 22!

Just had mine updated. Don’t notice much of a difference. Oh well...i guess it’s gonna be aftermarket fixed

The TSB didn’t do anything for mine except add distortion. Wish I would have never done it. However, that being said. I did use a spl meter and RTA to determine the system is 1 dB louder in the center of the center console when at volume 38 you move the speaker settings 2 spots forward. Subsequently the sub actually increases 2db at 80 hz. Leads me to believe the amp is under powered which is why the volume is limited
