5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

I just picked up a 5.7 4x4 Quad Cab Bighorn. Although I love the truck, I wanted the 9 speaker system but there wasn't an option for it. I drove straight from the dealer to Car Toys and got their input, but wasn't confident enough in their suggestions. I think I'll do this myself. As I've been...

I've had to skim that thread a couple times, lots of good info, but lots of rabbit holes as well. You'll want to focus on bypassing the ANC and picking up your amp inputs before the ANC module. The base head unit outputs an amplified speaker level signal. The ANC is a sort of pass through, you can technically remove the ANC module altogether as it doesn't offer any amplification, only noise cancellation. Get the PAC ANC-CH01 harness and you'll be able to bypass the ANC and tap into speaker wires without hacking the factory wiring

Here's another thread to look at:

Connect subwoofer amp with 8.4 screen and 6 speaker system

Has anyone connected a subwoofer amp to the standard 8.4, 6 speaker system? If so, where did you get the signal from? I just purchased my sub box and am getting everything lined up to install. http://www.foxacoustics.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=DCC-212-V-19

When shopping, I found a Bighorn truck I wanted but no Alpine system. Luckily I found one with the Alpine, but was looking at this as an Amp upgrade to the OEM. It’s 100% programmable to work with the OEM radio and Uconnect. It may not be what you are looking for but here is a link.

Well, after all my speaker upgrades, I had a loss of sound issue in my left doors. I thought it may be an amp issue, but after I pulled my panels off, I discovered that 1 terminal on each of the 2 CDT Speakers must have vibrated off. Must be all that great bass and thumpin' sound I had. Wish I had done this the first time, but this time I soldered my connections to my speakers. I then proceeded to take out the 2 passenger side speakers and soldered them as well. Now there is NO Way that I will lose connection. I should have learned from my prior installs of years past! Problem solved.

This is what I just finished doing to my truck with the alpine system.

What did you do to your Ram today???

Wow! That's pretty bad, did you contact the dealer already? Just found it this afternoon. Will hit up dealer Monday after work
