What did you do to your Ram today???

[Solosnavy]

Was thinking about this with my Harmon setup but I think it sounds good enough. A better equalizer would do wonders probably. I would also like to put some polyfill in the subwoofer box to improve the bass sound there.

im with you where it sounds great my gen 4 had the alpine system and the HK blows that away.

Yes, a lot of us are at least replacing the front dash speakers with true 3.5's and not the crap they put in there. Several threads. This one isn't explicitly for HK.

Changed Dash Speakers To Kickers...WOW!

So I decided to try the speakers seen below and I can say I'm definitely glad i did!!! They sound AMAZING and no trimming required! they are a direct fit as seen below. Here is the link to buy them if interested...

Sound is such a subjective thing. I have the HK and am severely disappointed in it. Especially the sub bass. Adding polyfill to the stock sub enclosure didn’t do any good. No noticeable change to my ears anyway. I know that one of the engineers that works on the HK system is a member of this site so I say this knowing full well that there are many factors involved in the decisions made for this HK system, but I don’t think it’s worth the “price” for it. It was other options that drove my decision to purchase the truck I did and it happened to have the HK system. Adding an aftermarket sub significantly improves the sub bass performance and allows for a better balance. However, eventually I’d like to replace all of the speakers and add a DSP for more control. Like any other sound discussion though, if it sounds good to you, don’t change a thing.

I agree that I would expect a little better with the HK name behind it. I would also like to add better sound proofing in the panels to improve sound. My thoughts are, improvements via replacing the speaker components are all doable but how would we be able to hook it up to the stock stereo setup and get a better equalizer? Without that I feel the efforts are not justified.

Sound proofing always helps in my opinion. I think some folks go a little overboard personally but that’s just my opinion.

The PAC AmpPro allows for integration into the stock stereo. It provides a full 20-20 signal for connection to amps. It works beautifully. I’m running one for my subs. A number of folks on here have used it to add amps for their aftermarket speakers too.

As for EQ, the only way you’ll be able to get some control is with a Digital Signal Processor. There are a number of DSP options out there and folks are like truck brands when it comes to opinions on brand preferences so just do you research if you’ve never used one. They are essential in my opinion to getting as much out of a system as possible, but you are basically all in if you go that route. I’ve done it before and want to with this truck but family stuff has changed my priorities a bit.

Admired the final ceramic coating.
rain coming over the next three days here. This is likely the cleanest my truck will ever be.

When I sell it, these are the photos I’ll post (assuming that’s still a thing in 7 years+).

Where did you order from?

Michigan Truck Spring. Price was good, free shipping via UPS.

Tinted 3rd brake and cargo lights to compliment the blacked out look

First oil and filter change at 1,000 miles. Calibration recall done but as stated before-Ram bed step replacement - not available.

 

[SilverNight2020]

Installed the dash speakers. I am finished for a while, besides window tint.

 

[Ride2little]

Did you plastic dip the chrome?

Sorry. I didnt see this til just now.
No. I didnt plastidip the chrome. That black plastic is stock on a Rebel. I added vinyl lettering to match my silver paint.

I installed the Gator EFX Hard tri-fold Tonneau cover yesterday. So far impressed with the quality and ease of install especially at the price point (it was on sale for $550). As it turns out we had some strong storms last night and when I checked this morning found a little bit of moisture on the back right side near the tailgate but that was it. If I have time I may try to adjust it a bit to see if I can prevent that water from coming in.

Reduces body roll substantially due to a better designed and built sway bar. Makes the truck feel more planted to the road around corners etc.

Curious, would this have the same benefit for a truck with a 3.5 bolt on suspension lift or only factory suspension? I’m a bit new tothis so apologies of this is a lame question! Also curious if it’s something that would be important for
Front and rear? Appreciate any wisdom

Yes. Tons of ppl run the hellwig sway bar and say it provides a better ride. Especially with a lift. Welcome to the forums!

Put new dubs and 35s on 'er.

I have the same tires. Love 'em. Quietest M/T out there.
