@@srtbull_yt6854 how did those subs sound ? Those W6 need a lot of air for it hit correctly don’t they ? I have the same truck and i put two JL 10s the slim since those would hit the best due to the air space i would definitely want to hear how those sound
The W6 can work efficiently in .6 cu ft. It’s an incredibly efficient driver. Lots of airspace for them in these trucks. Are you happy with your slime? I find that you can easily have too much airspace with slims. It almost like they HAVE to have back pressure in order not sound like they’re flopping in the wind. Ya know?

This is simply an amazing job, well done sir. There's no way I'd even consider pulling that truck away for whatever he needed it for, I'd rent a truck.
this makes me miss my last JL system...and happy i didn't overpay for the dealer options. amazing craftsmanship. wish i could give this several thumbs up.
I am putting together the details on an even bigger JL system. I can’t wait to get started on it. We’re running into supply chain issues. Thanks covid. So if we can get everything we need it’ll be a great follow up to this job.
Seeing this done makes me feel like going to any old shop would be inferior. Might have to fork over the extra cash to get this level of craftsmanship. Awesome final product
There are some amazing installers out there with levels of creativity that I could never match. Shop around. Get to know your installer. Find the right one.
Wow. Very nice work! Super detailed and thorough. I’m a former professional installer of 20 years plus and I can appreciate the work you put into this build! I always dreaded going into a vehicle that someone else had done work in. Not sure what your going to find! Again nice job! This makes me miss installing. 😂
Dammit, now I've to go back in and dyna mat the doors when I put components in.. great video, in process of upgrades just like this, you answered ton of questions I had. Thanks!
I was literally just thinking the same damn thing... At least I've only replaced the rest doors so far,, lol..!! Sound Deadening is an absolute must now that I've watched this Video... Seriously,, thorough,, well spoken and explained... Hope there's more truck installs on your channel... It's the little things,, the attention to details,, that add up to being what separates a super high quality, professional sounding and looking job... It added a lot more work and some dollars 💵 💵 now for my installation,, lol
Fantastic install! I'm getting ready to swap my entire system, also. AND if I could get a NEW head unit that worked, I would gladly use it. But, I have gone through two and neither worked correctly. With or with out the harness.
That video was great. Hopefully you can get some final product video. Just subscribed. Hope you get a 2019 ram 2500 mega in the future to make a video on!
Thanks for joining the team. I appreciate it. I have so many ram projects this year it’s not even funny. So there will be plenty for you to choose from. Most will be 2017-2020.
@@srtbull_yt6854 yeah I assume it's pretty straight forward, just hesitant since there's no info on the ch01 harness. Would like to just amplify front doors and dash- not sure the stock wire will even handle 150+wrms.
The sound doesn’t translate well in a video like this. You’d want to see it in person to truly appreciate it. Plus DMCA isn’t worth the risk. Gotta love dmca
Great job man..!! I own a 2010 Ram 1500,, Im ready to do a nice system as well.. What speakers do you put in the back doors?? 6x9 or 6.5 again? What is the advantage of benefits of using 6.5in vs 6x9in?? Thanks for uploading your content,,, it's definitely super clean,, easy to understand,, keep it up bro..!! CHAD T,,, from Greenville SC
I always suggest using the biggest speaker possible. Your truck is oem at 6x9. I suggest going with that size. But if you want round sound waves, instead of oval, you gotta go with 6 1/2” rounds 😉😉😉😉😉 Please sense that I’m being a smart a$$ 😎‼️😎😀😎
The simple answer is just because that’s what comes with the JL component set that the customer wanted. Typically I would rather do a 3 way set up. Which would allow for 3.5” speaker in that location. But good eye :)
If doing a active 3way set up front on a ram truck what speakers would you use in the rear doors. Regular 6x9 or will 3way 6x9. I was thinking 6x9 with tweeters separately on a crossover but not sure if I wanted to cut into the back door. Or even if it would be worth it. Any advice would be appreciated. Im a newbie at this and trying to get it right the first time.
Honestly, if it were my own vehicle, I wouldn’t put anything in the back doors. Or just leave the factory speakers there and don’t send them any signal. For great sound quality, building an amazing front stage is way more fun. Save the money you’d spend on rear speakers and put those $$$ into the front.
Nice work! I'd love to see how you make the fiberglass enclosure as I'm to cheap to pay $1,000+ for one but am a woodworker/handyman and would be willing to attempt it myself. BTW, why the 6" speaker in the door rather than 6x9 ... do they sound better?
Did you guys run into any type of reverberation issues from the factory plastic panel pieces inside the door my 2018 dodge ram the inner pieces of plastic vibrate holding off putting an aftermarket radio in because I don’t want to hear that after I put all the components in
I slathered this job is sound dampening. So not on this job. But yes, it a concern. There is a lot of plastic in there and it just loves to vibrate against its neighbors
@@srtbull_yt6854 yeah I dynamic my door panels I guess I should take the other piece off and do the actual door I also bought some type of VX adhesive foam and I put it in there also but they still rattle with Factory amplification
Did you have trouble fitting all that equipment behind the rear seats? I have a Ram and it doesn't seem like there is enough room to fit amps back there even with that sound deadening mat removed. Would like to hear your opinion as I'm installing an amp and sub box under the seat and am having difficulty fitting the amp.
It certainly requires some caressing of things to make everything fit. You have to be cognizant of where the seat hinges go and where pre existing components are. Physically there is a ton of room back there. Placement is everything.
Great video. I have a 2016 ram laramie. How much would that EXACT setup cost PARTS AND LABOR? I want yo make sure I don't get ripped off when I seek out here in Florida to get it done. Just a ballpark price.
This job was particularly expensive. They don’t have to be this expensive. We did a lot more on this job than we typically would. Between gear and labour, I would expect to spend between $5k and $8k
any reason why you used the JL bass remote in lieu of the PAC Amp sub remote? Piecing together my system right now and wondering if a dedicated sub remote is necessary if the pac amp already comes with one. Thanks in advance
Extremely informative video, and a great job, its really cool to see a master at work. If I diddn't love the sound of my truck? I would drive to wherever you are and get one done to my truck. Fantastic job. As you can see if you check out some of my vids, I love customizing. Keep up the GREAT work. :)
29:00 I always hear installers saying that you can't run signal wires next to power and ground wires. At 29:13 I see them all jumbled together. Does that create engine noise/feedback?
Thankfully, technologically has progressed far enough so that if you use quality gear, this isn’t a concern any more. But yes there was a time where you HAD to run signal as far away from power as possible.
I would have to confirm the price, but I want to say this was about $6000USD, just for the gear. Install on top of that obviously. That was before the condition the world is in now though, prices will have changed for sure.
Legit, I have this conversation with every customer that asks me to do this. 6x9 more surface area = more sound. Simple science. I don’t often win this fight. But I try.
I’m just wondering who pushed in the center on your brand new speaker. There’s definitely something to be said for custom mounting brackets but I’m also wondering why you wouldn’t want to use the pre-fab adapter bracket Crutchfield sells for this exact application?
In most cases we can build them cheaper and faster than most prefab adapters. There are still many cases where we use the prefabs. Just not in this case.
have one thing to ask whu mot just replace door speakers with another JL 6x9 size? I have the alpine audio system im mu 12 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn....so Im looking for replacement unit. btw I like Kenwood products radios not the speakers! JL or JBLs speakers..... any sujjestions? Thanks
I would prefer to use a 6x9 in the door and use an aftermarket 3.5” in the dash. I don’t typically like to replace a 6x9 with a round speaker. But this is what this particular client wanted. So I don’t judge.
Hey man, quick question, i have the same truck , I want to keep my same screen unit, what other option other than the ap4 ch41 can I do? Or is that the best way to go? Would a epicenter or equalizer help?
There are more options today than ever before. You just need anything that will take your non variable output from your oem headunit and process it into usable signal for your aftermarket amps. Depending on where you are, you local 12 volt guy will have some suggestions.
@@srtbull_yt6854 Would the LC7i do that job? I have a 2015 and I want to keep my 8.4" screen as well. Couple shops here told me to use LC7i but I see you removed it.
Lc7i will work if you’re starting out with the non amplified oem stereo. And you’re planning on adding more that just a sub amp. If you’re just adding sub amp, you could even just use an lc2i. Just remember that in either case, you’ll need load generation to keep the channels functional from the oem radio.
There are conflicting opinions on this. While I agree with your statement, many people believe that speakers should always be round. Not oval. Sound waves are round not oval shaped, so how could an oval shaped speaker do better than a round shaped. 😀
Well I should just throw out my home electrostatic ribbon speakers and grab some round ones on that logic...lol Owning this truck myself, I know that they already sound muddy and lack a lot of brightness even after replacing the dash speakers. Upgrading each door with quality coax 6x9's really is the simple trick imo. I do agree with having round subs tho for the low frequency if that helps. I'm glad you agree
This is very much dependent on where you live. There are places in the US that would do this job for under $1000 (Plus gear). And there are places in Canada that would be well above $3000 (Plus gear)
The ends result could be exactly the same. Except for the rear speakers. In the 2007, they are 5 1/4” whereas this gen, they’re 6x9. Oem amp is in a different location. But like I said, the final result could be the same.
A newbie question here but why would you disconnect all those speakers? Wouldn’t you want the added sound, specially use them for surround sound? Please explain...
I would have to confirm the price, but I want to say this was about $6000USD, just for the gear. Install on top of that obviously. That was before the condition the world is in now though, prices will have changed for sure. There are a lot of factors that go into pricing. A job finished with carpet would be drastically different than suede or vinyl. Client preferences are always taken into consideration. So make sure you spend some time with your installer to make sure everything is done just how you want it done.
Question? I'm building my own drivers side box for a single p3 12. As an experiment. I've got all the volume I need but not grill on the sub is where your subs surround is in height. Those weren't swallowed by the seat?.
If your sub is slapping the bottom of the seat, you’ll want something to prevent that. It sounds bad and will eventually damage the sub and it almost seems like it burns the bottom of the seat. Almost like a friction burn.
@@srtbull_yt6854 my fault, bad typing. what i was getting at is my P3 12 Grille is just touching the seat. The in your build are sitting at the same height roughly as my custom built boxes( i made to solos and put the amp in the middle} easy to adjust and keep an eye on. So the question is, were those JL's not touching the seat. I know they dont move much, had w6v3 and the travel was tiny compared to non existant next to fosgate. love that you showed me there is nothing to fear on the other side of that door panel also. thanks my man
The grills certainly touch the bottom of the seat. Nature of the beast. Not much can be done. Just do what you can to protect the sub. That’s all a guy can do.
Every market is very different. Even just going from 🇨🇦 to 🇺🇸 prices can vary hugely. It wouldn’t be fair to give you expectation on pricing without knowing where you’re planning on doing this job. Or something similar. Always check with your local shop. Sit down and talk to them. Make a game plan and come up with a price that works for everyone.
@@srtbull_yt6854 Not the person you replied to but I'd be interested in a job similar to this one. If you're familiar with any shops in the US who do similar work, specifically the South, i'd love to get their contact information.
It’s very hard to do a quote like this. Usually I would want meet you. Talk about the kinds of music you listen to. I have to get a sense of you as a person to be able create something that is reflective of your lifestyle and personality. I have done many builds in this type of vehicle. Where the vehicle stays the same but the system we build is completely different because each and every client is different. To give you an idea, I have done this truck under the $2000 mark. I have also done this truck over $15,000. So you can there is a very large span. Where in the world are you? I wonder if I can connect you with someone physically near you.
Quick question, my truck has the alpine system already. Are all of the other upgrades necessary if I want to upgrade my subs? I want to do 2 12’s but don’t want to overpower the factory treb and mid. TIA
To be honest, it sounded super clean and crispy. But I wasn’t happy with the low end. Just not enough “blow your hair back” bass when I wanted it. But the client was happy. He got exactly what he asked for.
@@srtbull_yt6854 What would u have done different to get "blow your hair back" bass, I'm doing a setup on my ram TRX kind of like this one, and im a total bass junkie. Also with the seats down, aren't they going to touch the subs? thanks! :-)
First of all, that Trx is sick. My buddy is waiting delivery of his Trx. He’s a bit excited. To answer your question though, I would find someone that is skilled enough to build the same enclosure, but port it, going up behind that back seat. It’s an advanced build but can be done and will gain you the db that you’re looking for.
Very nice job, beautiful and organized. Its PRO. I Have a 2018 ram 1500 factory 4" basic radio, Can I upgrade easy to 8.4 screen Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, cheapest is possible ?? Thank you for the video, I have learn a lot with it. May God bless you and congrats to honor your friends that help you . I hope a 2020 full of joy and blessing for your life.
Thank you for all the kind words. Yes you change your head unit to allow for car play and android auto. We do that all the time. Cheap though? Not exactly. But fair.
Depends on whether it’s needs to be fit for a vehicle or not. Just a regular trunk box can be done in a couple hours. Form fit like the Dodge Ram, can take a full day. Depending on how you want the finished product to look.
Customer wanted to save $30 bucks by not installing the fast rings🤣. If you’re gonna go that far with a custom install, $30 more bucks is nothing to get a better sound.
I can't wait to hear some feedback on this job.
Can you make a list of the components you used in this build?
That’s a great idea. I didn’t think of that. I will do that.
What would a build like this cost

Hey man, quick question, i have the same truck , I want to keep my same screen unit, what other option other than the ap4 ch41 can I do? Or is that the best way to go? Would a epicenter or equalizer help?
There are more options today than ever before. You just need anything that will take your non variable output from your oem headunit and process it into usable signal for your aftermarket amps. Depending on where you are, you local 12 volt guy will have some suggestions.
@@srtbull_yt6854 Would the LC7i do that job? I have a 2015 and I want to keep my 8.4" screen as well. Couple shops here told me to use LC7i but I see you removed it.
Lc7i will work if you’re starting out with the non amplified oem stereo. And you’re planning on adding more that just a sub amp. If you’re just adding sub amp, you could even just use an lc2i.
Just remember that in either case, you’ll need load generation to keep the channels functional from the oem radio.
why would you take all of that sound out of the doors? FML 3-way 6x9's would have sounded so much better imo
There are conflicting opinions on this. While I agree with your statement, many people believe that speakers should always be round. Not oval. Sound waves are round not oval shaped, so how could an oval shaped speaker do better than a round shaped.
😀
Well I should just throw out my home electrostatic ribbon speakers and grab some round ones on that logic...lol Owning this truck myself, I know that they already sound muddy and lack a lot of brightness even after replacing the dash speakers. Upgrading each door with quality coax 6x9's really is the simple trick imo. I do agree with having round subs tho for the low frequency if that helps. I'm glad you agree
There are people in the industry that just refuse to come to a consensus on anything 😁
You mentioned the lc7 was overkill. What would you recommend if you were just running subs?
I would just use an lc2i. It’s a 2 channel loc with bass roll off correction.
are we gonna ignore the breathalyzer 23:56
Hey. Not my truck. But you are the first to mention it :)
Question how much would something like that cost ?
This is very much dependent on where you live. There are places in the US that would do this job for under $1000 (Plus gear). And there are places in Canada that would be well above $3000 (Plus gear)
Does anybody know if this Would be possible and the exact same process on a 3rd gen 2007 1500 or is it slightly different?
The ends result could be exactly the same. Except for the rear speakers. In the 2007, they are 5 1/4” whereas this gen, they’re 6x9. Oem amp is in a different location. But like I said, the final result could be the same.
A newbie question here but why would you disconnect all those speakers? Wouldn’t you want the added sound, specially use them for surround sound? Please explain...
When dealing with staging you don’t want the added sounds coming from places you can not control.
What's the average cost for all of this?
I would have to confirm the price, but I want to say this was about $6000USD, just for the gear. Install on top of that obviously. That was before the condition the world is in now though, prices will have changed for sure.
There are a lot of factors that go into pricing. A job finished with carpet would be drastically different than suede or vinyl. Client preferences are always taken into consideration. So make sure you spend some time with your installer to make sure everything is done just how you want it done.
Question? I'm building my own drivers side box for a single p3 12. As an experiment. I've got all the volume I need but not grill on the sub is where your subs surround is in height. Those weren't swallowed by the seat?.
If your sub is slapping the bottom of the seat, you’ll want something to prevent that. It sounds bad and will eventually damage the sub and it almost seems like it burns the bottom of the seat. Almost like a friction burn.
@@srtbull_yt6854 my fault, bad typing. what i was getting at is my P3 12 Grille is just touching the seat. The in your build are sitting at the same height roughly as my custom built boxes( i made to solos and put the amp in the middle} easy to adjust and keep an eye on. So the question is, were those JL's not touching the seat. I know they dont move much, had w6v3 and the travel was tiny compared to non existant next to fosgate. love that you showed me there is nothing to fear on the other side of that door panel also. thanks my man
The grills certainly touch the bottom of the seat. Nature of the beast. Not much can be done. Just do what you can to protect the sub. That’s all a guy can do.
have you ran the dsr1 over the amp pro
Do you still need the lc2 ?
Not when you use a processor like this. It does the job of the lc2i.
Where is your shop located?
I’m actually not sure that I’m allowed to post that. I would have to check with the company.
What did you charge for this complete install? I wanna do something with my car and wanna know a ball park figure of what it would cost.
Every market is very different. Even just going from 🇨🇦 to 🇺🇸 prices can vary hugely. It wouldn’t be fair to give you expectation on pricing without knowing where you’re planning on doing this job. Or something similar. Always check with your local shop. Sit down and talk to them. Make a game plan and come up with a price that works for everyone.
@@srtbull_yt6854 Not the person you replied to but I'd be interested in a job similar to this one. If you're familiar with any shops in the US who do similar work, specifically the South, i'd love to get their contact information.
Short answer that was a couple grand in build no electronics just the build and install
primaXnocte - I don’t know anyone that I could recommend. I could put some feelers out for you. What area are you?
Where are you located??
Northern 🇨🇦
How hard is it to customize a 2020 srt with JL speakers sir
Well it’s not very difficult. But it does expensive.
So how much would that cost me in the range of what
I like the work you do
It’s very hard to do a quote like this. Usually I would want meet you. Talk about the kinds of music you listen to. I have to get a sense of you as a person to be able create something that is reflective of your lifestyle and personality. I have done many builds in this type of vehicle. Where the vehicle stays the same but the system we build is completely different because each and every client is different. To give you an idea, I have done this truck under the $2000 mark. I have also done this truck over $15,000. So you can there is a very large span.
Where in the world are you? I wonder if I can connect you with someone physically near you.
So are you located out of Canada?
Wheres part two?
Quick question, my truck has the alpine system already. Are all of the other upgrades necessary if I want to upgrade my subs? I want to do 2 12’s but don’t want to overpower the factory treb and mid. TIA
Not at all. We can do a much simpler system to upgrade just the subs.
😍👍👍!
How much space did you allow for each sub???
0.8 cuft per side, allowing for displacement, probably ended up with about 0.65 per side.
Rob 12 Volt Tricks thx, the limited space in the ram Makes it tricky.
How did it all sound like?
To be honest, it sounded super clean and crispy. But I wasn’t happy with the low end. Just not enough “blow your hair back” bass when I wanted it. But the client was happy. He got exactly what he asked for.
@@srtbull_yt6854 What would u have done different to get "blow your hair back" bass, I'm doing a setup on my ram TRX kind of like this one, and im a total bass junkie. Also with the seats down, aren't they going to touch the subs? thanks! :-)
First of all, that Trx is sick. My buddy is waiting delivery of his Trx. He’s a bit excited.
To answer your question though, I would find someone that is skilled enough to build the same enclosure, but port it, going up behind that back seat. It’s an advanced build but can be done and will gain you the db that you’re looking for.
Very nice job, beautiful and organized. Its PRO.
I Have a 2018 ram 1500 factory 4" basic radio, Can I upgrade easy to 8.4 screen Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, cheapest is possible ??
Thank you for the video, I have learn a lot with it.
May God bless you and congrats to honor your friends that help you . I hope a 2020 full of joy and blessing for your life.
Thank you for all the kind words. Yes you change your head unit to allow for car play and android auto. We do that all the time.
Cheap though? Not exactly. But fair.
Hey Rob. What’s it cost to get an enclose that will fit dual 12w6’s. Also why’s the turn around time?
Depends on whether it’s needs to be fit for a vehicle or not. Just a regular trunk box can be done in a couple hours.
Form fit like the Dodge Ram, can take a full day. Depending on how you want the finished product to look.
Rob 12 Volt Tricks yea I need one for my ram. I’m ok with black carpet or rhino lined for the finish
Customer wanted to save $30 bucks by not installing the fast rings🤣. If you’re gonna go that far with a custom install, $30 more bucks is nothing to get a better sound.
If I don’t do a good enough job on showing the benefits of them, this is where we land. It happens. I can’t win’em all 😀
@@srtbull_yt6854 I hear ya. You can’t make someone spend their money 😜
So true 🤷
take that panel off after 1 month. i promise the door is imprinted in the speaker ring
You should actually show the work👎
It’s hard to know where to draw the line. If I show all the work, that’s like 20 hours of footage. I’d love to show it. But nobody would watch it.
lots of crap but where is the sound byte?
