So much easier than how old vehicles were when having to take the entire dash apart 😂 thanks for the great video! I can't wait to get these speakers installed!!
Uh man..... I put in 3 way 300w jbl 6x9s and believe it or not, they are absolutely terrible. The factory 6x9s had better bass. I also was getting a little feedback for some reason..... super wierd. Maybe I need two ways?
@@juggernaut5281My experience with the infinity reference was good, im still running the same setup more then a year later and no issues at all. Maybe the factory ANC and Amp didnt like the Ohms from the JBL's
@WeekndGarage I'm honestly thinking of calling the dealer for new factory 6x9s because my passenger side door subs blown. Thanks for the help and God bless.
Very good, I just bought Kicker drop in tweeters, front and rear speakers for my 2010 Ram. I can now justify my Sirius XM annual subscription. Just the tweeter drop in made a huge upgrade! enjoy
I'm fixing to do my SLT. Going with the new higher end pioneer this time and 4 mb quart tweeter's. Then 2 10 inch kicker 10s under the backseat. Clarion EQ and a different 6 channel alpine stereo. I just need to buy the box i have the 2 amps. Should sound good for the airspace. I had the infinity in my GMC Sierra sounded great just going with something different after hearing great things about the higher end pioneer. I will update on sound. Great video and clean install, sounds good and amps will really wake it up.
Very well done! I do have a couple questions tho: 1) I saw that you applied sound proofing to the outer door skin but I couldnt tell if you applied any to the door behind the door panel (same side as the speaker face). 2) you replaced the 8 ohm dash speakers with 4 ohm units. Did this change the dynamics or sound proportioning? Did the dash speakers become too overpowering?
i have installed sound deadening and insulation directly on the metal behind the black door skin, sound deadening on the black plastic itself where the modules and speakers mount and i've also installed sound deadening and insulation on the door card itself. Doors feel like a tank and close like a G wagon now, no more tin feeling when knocking on the doors or closing doors.
@WeekndGarage good to know, thanks. And what about the odd configuration that the factory dash speakers are 8 ohms? Any issues with dropping aftermarket 4ohm speakers in?
@@spymat72 No issues at all a year later with the speakers installed in my video, still sounding great. i have the 6 speaker system, might be different outcome on the alpine 9 speaker
I had the alpine system 2019 ram 1500 it was loud but not like I wanted so I upgraded to kickers speakers all around 4 6x9s 2 6 inch 2 tweeters with a kicker 4 channel amp all i did was cut the 4 top wires on the ANC connector so I can cancel the engine noise since mine came with a factory amp
Just an FYI my fourth generation Ram 1500 has a metal bar directly behind the front door speakers that is a mere three inches from the front so your depth needs to be very carefully selected on any new speakers.
Question… So I see in the video you went back with a full range speaker for the front dash. Why did you not go back with a dedicated tweeter? In theory wouldn’t a dedicated tweeter hit the highs better than a full range speaker?
Great video. Helped me a lot putting speakers in my Ram which is similar to yours. Question: How do you have your stock equalizer set? Bass, midrange, treble? Thanks
i've got +4 bass + 1 mid + 3treb, depends on what you listen to and what your preferences are. Sometimes i like flat and sometimes a dynamic curve. Subwoofer installation coming soon :)
I did the same thing on my alpine system on my 300 and it was the same. Mopar(Alpine) makes the front door speakers output just low frequencys. The only way to get around this is to add an amplifier, amp pro and dsp to tune to your liking. But it’s a little more to that.
Question if you dont have the Alpine upgrade wonder if the speaker wires are still there under the middle cover by the sensor? Ram tends to leave some plugs ( Example: Under Hood light) if you by the part later for install.
I have a 2022’ ram base 6 speaker sound system. I installed some SkarTX69 coaxial in the 4 doors, and TX35s in the dash. They sound better than stock, but not quite the jump I was expecting. Is this because they are coaxial? Because the dash speakers are 4ohm instead of factory 8 ohm? I’m just curious why it wasn’t really a night and day like I was expecting myself. And I’ve had pretty good luck with Skar, I’ve used them in 3+ cars always sounding great.
havent read all the comments but on a 9 speaker Alpine system the front doors are only recieving low frequency signal (bass) so installing a 3 way speaker is a completed waste. Im assuming the factory amp is responsible for this.
It does sound clearer..but that would be expected when using 2 woofers, 4 tweeters and 4 mids instead of 2 woofers and two tweeters (front end)..but loss of low end.. Curious, why not just replace the speaker screws?
What impedance are these? If you keep stock amp they should be 2 ohm right? If you swap deck or add an amp they should be 4 ohm? Hard to find 2 ohm speakers to keep factory amp/deck and get the most out of them it seems
I think the wires on you're harnesses are backwards from the plug...726514 might not be the correct number..., ..look at the colors of the wires in the video
I just installed these on my 2023 ram trx. Sounds alittle better but not what i expected. Are you getting tweeter sound from your door speakers or just bass? Mine are really dull. All the highs are coming from the dash
Same! It’s driving me nuts not being able to figure this question out. My rear 6x9s are screaming, only thud from the fronts. And I have that annoying hum. Ordered the bypass for my ANC today…
My rebel came with the Alpine system upgrade. What are your thoughts on these stock speakers? If I add and Amp to give me a little more kick, do I need to upgrade the speakers? Not looking to get competition level sound, just give me the ability to blast some Metallica at times.
Mine was the 6 speaker system, not sure how the 9 speaker alpine would react to speaker swap only. i believe an external amp and speaker upgrade would definitely sound the best
@@WeekndGarage I've since upgraded the speaker. Sound is much cleaner, and louder but the bass is not as prevalent. I'm going install an AMP just for the sub.
Awesome video man. One question are all those tweeters overkill?? I'm 100% changing the speakers in my 202 ram with base 6 speaker stereo. I just don't want killer tweeters!
hey i got a question hopefully you read this lol ... i install them speaker and for some reason it making some weird noise especially when i accelarate .. do i need a anc bypass ?
I didn't catch it either. I reached out to Crutchfield and they told me their 2-way and 3-way 6x9's are interchangeable part#9633ix and #9632ix. I'm pretty sure those dash speakers 3032cfx have a 4 ohm load and I think they should be lower than that so it doesn't muck with the ANC. Just my 2 cents 🤷♂
Surprised to see in this video that the Ram 1500 comes with plastic cones and not fabric like 99% of OEM sound systems. The factory setup lacks definition in the upper frequencies but has plenty of bass response without an amplifier. 2-ways are sufficient, components would be better but then again you'd need an amp. Nice simple installation.
After the new infidelity speakers were installed, did you have an issue with noise cancellation unit? I did the same speaker replacement and now the ANC is causing a drone noise which is coming from the speakers.
I upgraded my 17 ram speakers (alpine system) i put in all jbl. Only issue i have is that the front doors are very quiet and seem to only play lows and maybe mids. Anyone have any idea what i can do?
If you look in the video, it seems like they’re 8 ohms speakers for the dash You really don’t wanna go under 4 ohms . This is where the sweet spot is. For the non-amplified six speaker system.
hello. Mine does. Dealer is gonna change the radio module soon hopefully it fixes it. It's the worst with Carplay. won't even let you turn it up without the volume dropping!!
Actually the difference you’re noticing is all in the crisper highs.. that’s the difference between the 2 way and 3way mostly tbh.. Also the front doors are nearly mid base only.. so you’re upgrading from a 1 way to a 3 way so yeah you’re gonna get a lot more higher recognition there. All in all I think the factory 6 speaker is actually pretty good.. my biggest issue is you get zero volume increase after about half volume.. and that isn’t the speakers that’s the radio and trucks programming. In all honestly most would be amazed by the factory setup is they simply got the full value out of them wo the safety nanny holding back power on the upper end. Would actually rival most higher end factory systems then. The only reason to swap out the factory speakers is if you’re adding enough low end punch then you will need that added higher to balance it all out.. In all reality of just doing the doors only most are gonna be highly dissatisfied cause you’re going to gain a lot on the top end but also lose a lot on the low end. Do enough searing reviews on speakers and you’ll find this is a lot of the reason for lower reviews on speakers for these vehicles.. Imop for a direct factory replacement only wo doing a full system the Jbl gto’s are the best out there.. they will perform good at factory power levels and they retain the low end punch still. The cheaper Rockford do pretty good too.. maybe a little more on the low but they don’t come close to the clarity on the higher range of the gto’s which are as clean as these references The cool thing about the infinities is the switch on the cone to change the db responsiveness.. the plus 3 is really like a 0db where as the 0 is more like a -3bd but this helps tremendously with non amplified setups to get the most volume from them
Good write up, i havent personally tried the JBLS but i've gotten messages saying it sounds terrible on the factory 6 speaker system. The Infinity references are so loud i never turn it past vol 18, it gets louder as you go past 20 as well not like the factory speakers.
I was gonna ask that question, but you just answered it with this write up! Sounds like you will get more clarity but loose bass with this set up!! unless you add a sub your better off keeping it stock!!! if not like weekendGArage said you wont be able to stand goin pass 18 lol too loud!!

You have to make sure to get 3 ohm speakers. Those infinity speakers are 4 ohms I believe. Or...get a 4 channel amp and you'll be more than happy
