Great informative video thanks for taking the time to show us i decided to replace all of mine to kicker too but i ran the 6x9s to a amp and kept the (3) 3.5s on the radio because of the hands free. Getting the 6x9 wires through the front doors was the big pain
Thank you, I appreciate the support and I'm happy it proved to be helpful. I bet your system is sounding good now! I actually added a rear deck subwoofer, replaced the rear deck 6x9s, added a kicker solobaric L7 sub box with two amps to that cars system. I filmed some parts of it but I didn't like how it turned out so I'll probably film a different video installing them in my 21 Blue Widebody. Stereo stuff can seem intimidating but if you like doing it and get to understand it a bit, then it's really not that hard to do without paying a shop thousands 💸💸💸
@Shinto Dragon 👍🏾that sounds like a sweet setup yeah bro audio install can be a pain but with patience and some explicit language its well worth it. Good luck with your ventures and hope to see some of that film
Excellent dude!!!
Your sister must really LOVE you! 😂
I wanna see a sub woofer installation; next.
For sure 😉
I have the Harmon Kardon and I am watching your video. Awesome video. The Harmon Kardon speakers are lacking bass and are made of paper. I blew the subwoofer and had to swap it.
Thanks for the comment. I actually purchased an Indigo Blue 21 Wide Body Scatpack with the Harmon Kardon. I agree the bass is lacking. I feel the range of the Harmon Kardon system does has less high level distortion than the Alpine system. At one point after it warms up I am going to add a couple amplifiers, Kicker L7 sub box, as well as replace the deck subwoofer and 6x9 speakers. What brand/model of subwoofer did you end up going with as the replacement?
The 6x9s in the doors “can” have plenty of sound, the factory setup the doors are low passed. You’d need to use a amppro to get perfect rca outs so you can feed dsp or amps and make a huge difference in the sound of a charger
Thanks for the comment. Good point and spot on. Need to bypass the amp and low pass filter on the factory set up.
Uh you know that by paralleling the new center speaker with the driver's side speaker you dropped the impedance from 4ohm to 2ohm right? You know that right? There's a high likelyhood that the stock amplifier can't go to 2ohms and you'll cook that channel. You know that right?
Another great video
Thanks brother. 🙏
I put this off for a while remembering the same problem i had in my last Charger. When charging the dash speakers. Shit went according to plan everything came off easy got dash speakers changed out. And putting back together. And of course the A pillar plastic trim piece dont wont to snap back in place. I hate those things 😒
Yeah the problem I had was with the little rectangle brackets connected to the plastic straps. If those don't get centered in the frame holder then the male pins won't push in. Took me a minute to understand why the weren't clipping back in
@Shintodragon
Thanks for that info will try that tomorrow 👍
@@christerry9371 hard to explain without photos but the center hole of that clip is actuality what the trim piece plugs into. I had clipped it in once so that hole was not centered for the trim clip to go into so I had to slide that clip in further to get the hole centered if that makes sense
@Shintodragon
I saw exactly what u were talking about the plastic pin that plugs into that center hole is bent on mine. Probably from me pressing against it when it wasn't centered will be on the look for another A pillar trim from a Junker just in case
Love the flossy reference!! Haha 😂👌
I know right. @flossycarter is boss.
Who you a video putting 2 8 in sub woofers in back ? What front speakers would you change them out too ? Can you put speakers in back doors?
Thanks for the comment. I have been going with the kicker L7 speakers in a ported enclosure on my last couple of chargers. I'm actually going to do a video on installing that and replacing the rear deck 6x9's and an 8 inch woofer here in the next two weeks. To add an external amplifier you need a LOC (line out convertor) You can change the front door speakers with some 2 or 3 way 6x9s however factory wise they are tuned to be more of a bass/mid speaker so swapping them out I think will lose some bass and not gain too much unless you add an amplifier to the door speakers. The easiest cleanest way to add speakers to the back door would be to get some new door panels from a junkyard for a charger with the Harmon Kardon and run the wiring to an aftermarkt amp. This next swap I'm doing is on the Harmon Kardon system charger so I'm going with Kenwood on the 3.5s and rear 6x9s www.crutchfield.com/S-WStHOog1SM3/p_113X3C/Kenwood-Excelon-KFC-X3C.html?awcr=625786852719&awdv=t&awnw=g&awug=9029679&awkw=kwd-646414742359&awmt=p&awat=&gclid=Cj0KCQjwlumhBhClARIsABO6p-yZRzgQ-Q3ERK6_2pHXTQOVaptSkEWGq7SGADYv-yFuRa1za_fCFeYaAtn_EALw_wcB
Good morning how you doing I bought it 2021 Dodge Charger for my daughter Trying to put some bass on it But I don't know where is the amplified Located uh can you help me out So I can get power From there
@@walteralvarado3640 the factory amplifier is under the driver side dash basically vertical under the parking brake pedal. You would want to add a line out convertor and a separate Amp in the trunk powered from the battery in the trunk. Previously I used the rear 6x9 to get the line out convertor signal to add an Amp and subwoofer.
Very nice video, I’ve been thinking about doing the same upgrade. So the front center and right dash speakers are the same channel?
Thanks for the comment. The new speakers do add a lot more higher frequency range to the music. If you have the factory Alpine system then it is considered a 6 channel amplifier. The way I wired it has the front passenger and center speaker are on the same amplifier channel, while the drivers side dash is on a separate amp channel.
Hey there. Bought these after watching this video and you are right. These new speakers are ear piercing. What's your recommendation when in comes equalizer settings?
Awesome! Thanks for the comment. EQ settings will really depend on your personal taste. I fade my personal system to the back 2 ticks, bass up 1 or 2, mids up 5 or 6, then highs up 6 to 8 notches. In my narrow body scat, I have replaced the rear deck 6x9s and have a L7 sub box with aftermarket amp to both 6x9s. Depending on how your system is you may find that fading to the front a couple notches might sound better. I have not done the sub and amp in my widebody scat yet. Should be able to film that as a separate vide here shortly so stay tuned.
@@Shintodragon sounds good. Thanks!
Hey. Do you need amp to add that center dash speaker? I just saw your video and want to upgrade my speakers as well. Great video by the way!
Thanks for the comment. I just tapped the power for the middle speaker from the front right channel. It worked well and provided great sound. I figured it was best to keep the driver side speaker at full power. Even just swapping the two speakers with these kickers will increase the music highs.
@@Shintodragon Thanks for the quick reply buddy.
Do you think a 4 inch tweeter would fit for the dash and rear speakers? Alpine s-s40 I have the 10 speakers beats audio system 3 3.5 speakers in the dash 2 6x9 in doors 2 3.5 rear doors 2 6x9 rear deck 1 sub in the trunk
Thanks for the comment. I don't think the 4 inch would fit without making some serious modifications. Technically there is enough space. There are some great 3.5 inch options, you could add an additional amplifier if you want more power to the speaker's however just upgrading the speaker's is a substantial upgrade to the sound quality.
@@Shintodragondo the ones you installed come with built in capacitor to avoid distortion?
@@BRYAN-uh7ge the kicker version does not however the factory alpine and Harmon kardon systems are already factory tuned to prevent distortion...to an extent. The Harmon kardon does a better job.
Hey I installed same speaker in the front and the rear also. Sounds loud and clear but I’m looking to add a sub. U know how to add amp with a sub.
Awesome! Thanks for the comment. That is actually going to be the next video I am making. I have a kicker l7 in a vented box that I plan on installing. Stay tuned for that video, as I will go through the process on how to add it to your factory system using a line out converter www.bestbuy.com/site/kicker-solo-baric-l7s-12-2-ohm-loaded-subwoofer-enclosure-black/5892164.p?skuId=5892164&extStoreId=496&ref=212&loc=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw3ueiBhBmEiwA4BhspCFkNkAA5FOFFBSsfKI_JFUPed3V0uTYz58LnSudQWvrMNTo9k0-SRoCMz4QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
I have the cheaper one and I’m hearing 8 ohms front little options for 8 ohms I also wanna do the center channel but I May do a tweeter in middle alone piezo maybe thinking ds18 and a middle tweeter not sure what to do
Thanks for the comment. 4 ohm or 2 ohm would sound just fine, no need to do 8 ohm as they don't really make them for car audio speakers. Middle speaker with 2 or 3way tweater would be good with the factory stereo. You can always add amps and replace the speakers if you need more sound/power. Just the soaker upgrade would be a good improvement in the sound quality.
@@Shintodragon theres 3 systems the cheap one has 8 ohms if I go with 4 ohms some folks say alot
If the sound will go to front only also some say I’ll over run the amo some have said it can even turn off the system. I May do the 4 ohm anyways and see what happens
So the 6x9 in the doors are different from the 1s in the rear? U said add a 2 way or 3 way for the rear but will they work in the front?
Thanks for the comment. You can add 2 way or 3 way in the doors if you want to. Because they are lower in the doors it won't be as large of a sound improvement with those in the doors on the factory amp... Maybe even less bass. The rear deck 6x9s face upward so you get more robust sound with 2 way or 3 way speakers in that position. Crutchfield has a guide to show what fits that you can use www.crutchfield.com/g_400/All-Car-Speakers.html?tp=105&l=C I'm planning on doing another install video for the rear 6x9s and adding a subwoofer box as well so look for that video soon.
@@Shintodragon asking bcuz I changed my door speakers to 3 way speakers and I still only gets bass😭
@MAGNUMTIZED79
Please bypass the factory amp putting 3 ways in the doors does no good the door speakers only play bass. I have 3 ways in my doors on a aftermarket Amp they play the frequencies i want!
I have the HK system, it’s decent but I want louder. What’s needed?
Thanks for the comment. I agree. My widebody has the HK system, it is clear at higher volume but does not go as loud. You could add a line out converter tapping to the rear and add a 3 channel amp to new 8 inch woofer and new 2-6x9s in the rear deck. I am going to do this soon in my charger and film it for the channel. The best way would be to do a full factory amp converter bypass with all aftermarket amps to the speaker's however that is a more involved process. www.crutchfield.com/S-od6KJ0eXLEH/p_541AP4CH41/PAC-AmpPRO-AP4-CH41-Aftermarket-Amplifier-Interface.html?&XVINQ=BIF&cnxclid=16905242379633850360510080302008005
@@Shintodragon Yes I think that PACamp pro is the answer, I've seen people install these for this reason.
would this be an upgrade to the alpine set then?
Yes. The "alpine" dash speakers are not actually alpine simply just a stock single cone Mopar speaker. The two way kickers produce a much better range of sound
What's the part # for the wire adaptor ?
Their are a few brands of the speaker adapters you can buy the Chargers etc. Many of the Mopar ones are compatible for various Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram. Here is a link to one on amazon 4 Pack Speaker Harness for Jeep Dodge Chrysler Models Front Rear Door Speaker Wiring Harness Adapter 72-6514 - Door Speaker Replacement Speaker Wire Harness a.co/d/5X9iOUr
Can we do it on sxt version ? Fallow u now 🎉
@@noemelchor you sure can do it on an sxt. The Charger layouts for speakers are the same on the dash
@@Shintodragon thank you so much this vid was so helpful 🤝🏽
@@Shintodragon which brands u recommend?
@@noemelchor kicker or infinity for more highs from the dash speakers. You won't get really much bass from those small dash speakers. .
@@Shintodragon should I replace all 3 from dash or live one for handsfree
Shout-out to Flossy 😅
is there a big sound difference with the stock tweeter frm the old stock ones?
The kicker speakers sound way better than the stock versions due to the extra tweater in the center. No change as far as bass goes but the higher frequency is night and day difference. The factory speakers do not have a center tweeter.
Yea my charger speakers suck ass…can’t wait to swap them mfs out…
Harman kardonare trash. They blew on me after a few months
I have heard mixed reviews on them. My 2021 Scat Widebody has them and they are better sounding quality than the alpine version but I am going to swap most of them out this spring. What brand of speakers do you like?
WhTs the cost of the kicker speakers? And the part numbers? Thanks man!
These kicker speakers are typically around $50. I put a link in the video description here it is www.crutchfield.com/p_20646CC354/Kicker-46CSC354.html. Thanks for the comment.
I'm going to install these ones on my 21 Charger with the Harmon Kardon. The only bad thing is that it needs three so you have to buy two sets of speakers.

I Don’t Understand What Did With The Center Factory Speaker, I Plan On Getting Those Same Kicker’s And I’m Trying To Get A Better Understanding On What Was Done Please Explain @shinotodragon
@shintodragon
Thanks for the comment. I basically moved one of the factory corner speakers to the center empty cavity and added wire tapping it into the passenger side power. This will make it so you have the two new kickers in the corners and the one factory speaker moved to the center. The alpine and standard systems do not come with the center dash speaker just the empty cavity for it.
