Replacing all my speakers in my 2024 Ram 2500 Mega Cab w/Alpine speaker system

[Thresher61]

1st off this will be my 2nd post 1st post was introductions. 2nd off hoping I posted this in the correct place. Please forgive me if posted in wrong place. I looked thru the topics and didn’t see a topic for Mega Cab or stereo section. Did I miss it somewhere, please educate me, so won’t mess up again.
Here goes hope I don’t loose anyone. I need anyone that is an expert or done this swap befire. I’m flabbergasted what Ram has done to me and my truck. I like my music crisp, clear, loud. I am 63 years old hv a great garage/shop, I did my 09’ stereo system but was 20+ years ago, it was great. But I literally had the carpet pulled out from under me when I started researching what I thought would be a plain old school simple speaker swap. I bought speakers and hv already returned them, didn’t think ever in my world I’d need 2,000 min. To swap speakers. I hv a
2024 Ram Laramie 2500 4x4 6.7 Mega Cab w/Alpine speaker system in it. Least it says alpine in dash grille in truck. I want to swap out all 9 speakers, can’t find a sub. I’m going to add 1” tweeters in sail panels if front door panels and add either separate amp/sub or thin lined sub/amp enclosed as a pkg deal. Don’t know how they sound or what never had one before.
1. I do not have any music coming out of my front door speakers. I followed steps in research I was suppose to do. It has power cause there is a very low muffle coming out of them, reset head unit. Same thing, so started researching for speakers. I came up with this for speakers:
Doors:
Kicker 51KSC69304 shallow mount 6x9(4)150w/300wtotal
Kicker 47KSC3504 dash/roof headliner rear 3.5” 3-dash 2-rear headliner over back seats 50/100 total RMS
Kicker 46KST2504 tweeters front door sail panel adding them to system 75/150tital RMS
Kicker Comp-R48CWAT104 10” sub under back seat 400 total RMS
All speakers are 4ohms
But I read wire 2-4 ohms speakers they become 2-ohm? What huh I’m really lost on this but no biggie right now
*Did I pick decent speakers, they were in my price range. I’m into 3month of retirement, it sucks going bank to work in Jan I do not like having to shop for hours to find lowest price on things. Like to buy from one place that way they know what I hv and need later.
Besides all the speakers I’m looking at 1G for harnesses. One guy on eBay told me he can sell me all harnesses for 1,988.09. Red flag started researching so far non of the 5 radio lshoos I emailed, have helped me with harnesses. Here is the harnesses I e come up with in order to make things operate like factory, hopefully all speakers and sub are 4ohms and I believe the total RMS is around 975RMS total all speakers
Harnesses:
**PAC Ampro AP4-CH42 read last night I might also be needing PAC AP4-CH. 41 hope not they are 350-400.00
**Digital Signsl Processor(affordable one)
**PAC ANC By Pass Harness
**ANC By Pass Harbess
**Amp Integration Harness
Is the ANC By Pass Harness the same thing as the PAC ANC-CH01 By Pass Harness, be nice to save some money as much as I can.
Plus metra speaker connectors power wire going with 2guage hope it’s big enough. If anyone can tell
Me where to buy the harnesses as cheap as possible as well what the charges numbers are especially the amp integration harness.
I’m bypassing factory amp.
Now going for broke.
I’m researching. W/o any success on how to wire the 9 speakers to work in a 6 m-channel amp, I’m running seperate amp to sub which I already hv hopefully it will work its older amp Rockford Fosgate R-400-D4 think it’s 400 watts and I hv a Rockford Fosgate 12” Punch sub just needs to build a box non vented what I’m researching give more powerful sound? I don’t know, I thought I could bridge them together or run seperatly, like I said I’m no speaker audio guru. I wished I lived close to someone that knows what to do m, so I could just email questions plus where all these dang harnesses plug into. Right now I’m just trying to figure out how to wire the speakers and figure out my exact harnesses I’m going to need. Know there is a lot of stuff in this long letter. Just wanted everyone to know what I’m looking at
Again sorry for long letter I hv a lot of questions like
Good enough speakers
How to wire them to make the system
Harvested needed to make it all work correctly
Any help greatly appreciated, really need help bad I need to start getting parts ordered. Thanks to anyone that inputs please be knowledgeable, GOD bless you, stay safe Merry Cheistmas ho ho ho
Thanks guys
Steve
