5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

[Emarkowski24]

Hey anyone know where the stock amp for the speakers on a 2019 base 6 speaker is located? Having trouble finding it. Nothing under my driver seat.

You do not have ANC with the pentastar 3.6. That system is for the Hemi to reduce side effects from MDS

One throng that was left out in the previous post. The base system does NOT have an amp.

19’ 1500 8.4 base 6 speaker with anc.

Looking to just install a single sub & my amp has speaker level inputs. Already have everything including the anc bypass harness.

1. Is their a harness out there that allows me to to keep ANC & still give me the speaker inputs to connect to amp/loc? I really would like to keep the ANC feature with a sub added.

2. I cannot find a box that will fit my quad cab that does not have the under seat storage, my current box is a huge square box that will sit on the backseat. Does anybody know where I can find a good discrete box ?

You have to bypass the ANC, there is no keeping ANC with adding a sub to the system. There are harnesses out there on the market that will give you the provisions to add you sub. Fox Acoustics and Net audio make some great boxes.

Thank you, this will come in pretty helpful down the road.
I just got my first RAM. 2020 1500 Bighorn crew. The sound is fine but I'd definitely like better. So a budget friendly speaker upgrade, plus a single thin sub, amp, and sealing and lining on floor, doors and back wall should be a huge improvement to the base audio system. Thanks again and good luck.

Finished my stereo upgrade, posted pics of the amp set up in case it helps someone. 2 - 75wx2 (RMS) amps for the doors and a 500w (RMS) monoblock for the subs. Tied-in to the wiring at the ANC amp under driver's seat, used the PAC bypass harness.

Speaker set up:
* Dash - 3.5" Infinity Reference (+ 4 ohm resistor)

* Fr door - 6x9 Infinity Kappa (slight mod to the opening to fit, sounds amazing, would definitely recommend to anyone without a sub, big base improvement over stock, also high db sensitivity so it evens out the brightness of the new dash speakers)

* Rear doors - 6x9 JBL Concert Series (wouldn't recommend, I will eventually swap with Infinity Kappa 6x9s)

* Subs - Infinity Kappa 10"

for clarification, you fit infinity kappa 6x9(not reference or Primus) in front doors?

Hello!!!
2020 RAM 1500, 8.4" UC, 6 speak., non factory amp and sub, ANC under the seat.
I'm installing a aftermarket amplifier. Where can I get the signal for the "Remote" of the amplifier? From which module or connector?
I've already checked all the connectors near the ANC module and I can't find it.

Most new amplifier turn them self on when they detect a signal from the speakers.

A "Micro 2" "Add a circuit" fuse tap in slot 66 of the internal box will do the trick - that's what most of us have done.

Hello all,

I have a 2021 RAM 1500 with a 5.7 Hemi & the base 6 (5" display) system.
Under the seat is the small gray ANC / amp module thing.
Upon purchase a shop put in a PAC bypass for the ANC & installed a high level input Alpine amp under the rear jumper & Alpine speakers throughout.

Not happy with the sound I recently installed a DSR1 in universal mode next to the amp using the high level RCA inputs.
Would anything be gained by utilizing the specific factory T-harness & enabling the DSR1 in Maestro mode?

Also does the PAC harness bypass the circuitry within the ANC so that I'm getting the same high level speaker signal coming out as going in?

Thanks to all who have contributed.
Wish I had stumbled upon this thread earlier.

I have a 2019 Dodge Rebel Quad Cab, 5” screen on head unit. Being I only have 39k miles on this truck and my son is turning 16 on the 27th of this month, I’m handing it over to him. Once of the speakers has been blown for awhile, so I had the 6 speakers replaced today. It sounds much better. Not as loud unless I turn it up higher, but I expected that based on everything I’ve read from this forum. Sound quality is much improved and the mids are MUCH better. Current setting is 2 on it. Installer had it at -2.

This local business that did the install is getting away from vehicle audio, so they gave me a great deal on the JL speakers. Unfortunately, he was out of stock on amps and they are no
longer ordering vehicle audio. Once their stock is out, that’s it.

My son loves it and I told him to really make these speakers shine, it needs an amp. I know nothing of audio equipment. I’d definitely pay someone to hook an amp up. My gut is telling me it would be dumb not to add an amp.

My question is, what brand, model, and power of amp would I need? What kind of total cost am I looking at ( Amp+install, rough estimate)

Is this something I could do myself with limited knowledge? My FIL is well versed in music equipment, etc. Has his own band studio, etc. Maybe he’ll help me.

Picture attached of the speakers that were installed.

i installed mt dsr1 as per the instructions i have zero noise and i think for the price i love it. i went straight to the t-harness but i had a 8.5 non nav. then i got a laramie with the 12 inch got the t-harness for that and i can assure you the 12 sounds better than the no nav 8.5. so maybe the problem is the signal from thar 5in. rule of thumb- trash in = trash out. get the t-harness
