Newbie Adding a Subwoofer

[jdol78]

Hello All, Newbie here. Just purchased a 2021 RAM 1500 Big Horn. I'm want to add a subwoofer/amp combo so I purchased the Rockford Phosgate P300-10T. My question is are there RCA outputs on the back of the 8.4 inch Uconnect head unit? Thanks in advance and I hope this isn't a stupid question. Cheers

Are there RCA outputs on the back of the 8.4 inch Uconnect head unit?

No RCAs - the exact process will depend on whether you have the "Base 6" system or the "Alpine" Canbus system. If you have the Base 6 you can use the built-in LOC on that powered sub.

The powered sub has one connection and the connector Y's into two RCA's

Your sub has a built-in LOC for high-level input. Maybe you can reach out to Rockford Fosgate, or the place you bought the sub, or someone else local and experienced for help or further instructions with the install. Good luck!




p.s. Don't forget to bypass or disable your ANC

I have the ANC jumper. Thank you for your advice. One more question, where is the amplifier located? Is it under seat?

On the Base 6, the head unit is amplified. It's the Alpine that is a very different beast.

I am pulling the Rockfod Fosgate meastro out of my truck and going with this PAC/EZY setup. It connects behind the radio and I will run an optical cable to my DSP. From the DSP I will run RCA's to the amps.

Do you know where the stock amp is located in my truck? I'm seeing under seat or under dash

Under the driver seat.

Under the driver seat.

Just realized I have the base system with no stock amp so I will be splicing my subwoofer in. ugh
