So if a Rebel 12 package comes with a 19 Speaker HK Premium sound system and the truck has the 9 Speaker W/Sub option, what do you actually get? Seems like a conflict.
 
The 9 Speaker W/sub should be the base stereo, the 19 Speaker HK System is the upgrade, however, I believe its paired with the 12" screen.
 
Base system is the uConnect 5” system with 6 speakers. I’m not sure they even allow the 9 Speaker w/sub as an option on the Rebel 12. It would seem the HK system would be better.

They shouldn't, but they do - it has shown up here on the window stickers - someone else posted that it actually comes with the HK system, so you're just paying the extra $600 for nothing, but I'd be counting speakers if I was buying a Rebel 12.

The 9 speaker is automatically added to the rebel 12 in the order system (even though the public site doesn’t force the option) so I’m kinda thinking the HK system needs something included in the 9 speaker.
 
I checked the Build sheets using VINs. Both Rebel 12s. One with the 9 Speaker w/sub system. The other one without says it has HK system. The one with the 9 Speaker option does not have the HK system listed in the build sheet. So it appears just like getting the tow mirrors as an option and loose the power folding ability, you lose the HK system.
Since this is a $600 option, is it really that much better than HK system? It doesn’t say if this is an Alpine 9 speaker system so I don’t know.
 
That’s Canada though, you get different options than us
 
As of Monday, I watched the dealer try to order wopithout and it wouldn’t let him... I personally like the sound of the 9 speaker better anyways.

edit: maybe prior to the system update...

If you get the 9 Speaker system then you don’t get the HK system. The build sheets reflect this.
 
So the 9 speaker with subwoofer option over rides the 19 speaker HK system? That seems wierd..
 
I've had both, and I can assure you the HK is better. It's not astronomically better, but definitely a little louder with much better clarity. Why someone would pay to have the Alpine over the HK is beyond me.
 
I was confused by this too. Which one is better? Also, when you go to custom build the RAM now, it doesn't even state the 19 speakers comes with the rebel 12 any longer.

Has anyone else found out if they have stop including the 19-speakers in the rebel 12 package? I contacted a dealer to confirm this and I haven't heard back.

Someone had on one of these threads mentioned that when dealers select rebel 12 option it is automatically selecting the 9 speaker upgrade and the dealer has to unselct it in order to get the HK.
