hey guys hope this video gives you some ideas for working on your dodge ram 1500 pick ups. This sub install was Really easy and can be done really fast hope you enjoy it
On most dodge trucks when running the power wire, my only suggestion for those who are planning on installing themselves would be to drill thru the plastic block off plate where the clutch pedal/cylinder would go thru the firewall instead of cutting thru the wiring harness boot. The block off plate has two 15mm nuts inside the truck and can easily be drilled outside the vehicle.
One thing I learned installing car audio is to use a broken antenna, sharpen the end and use that for rubber grommets. When there is a choice for clutch pedal blank ALWAYS go for that. You do not want to nick a body wire bundle.
I always hook my ground directly to the battery instead of the cab floor. In the mid 80s I use to hook my amp ground directly to the seat belt bolts, but notice the amps would run hotter than straight to the battery. A cooler amp will always last longer in the long run. I know everyone does it different and has different ways just trying to help.
This can be done just make sure the ground is always shorter than the power and your good
add 3/4 inch of grade 5 washers under the rear seat.
If you put an inch spacer where your bolts go you'll be able to fold the seat down words when you fold it up so you could be able to access the amplifiers at any time
I bought this table bottom legs that adjust I bolt the to box extetend them up ⬆️ and now I have like 2/ inch clearance and flex room
hey guy .just built myself a little sub box my self.it a single 10"woofer.but what i notice is how you dove your speaker wire through a hole you drilled.i did the same😆❗i just sealed it like you with a little wood glue/silicon.works great..i think! but we dont care what others have to say👍❗
Anybody know how to connect aftermarket amp with a uconnect 5.0, I have a 2014 ram 2500 and I plan on using t tap connectors.
Pop those terminal cups out and solder the leads and stick them back in I have the same set up 2014 ram this box will fit in the crew cab or the super cab quad cab etc.
Yeah that's all I did
Very helpful. You did a nice job of showing the critical stuff as well as a project overview. Thanks!
Put some washers to lift up the seat little bit , plus sub grills.
I have a 2012 ram and want to add a screen and subwoofers. But my shifter is in the center and also. What are all the components I need for what I want?
damn i wanted to here it bump lol nice video
Is there a sub box that will fit 2 12” subs for a 99 1500 crew cab?
hi, one question , how do you deal with the factory amp that is allready on your truck? do you bypass it? i want to install an amp for my door speakers. i was thinking about, cuting the speakers wires on the amp and run them to the new amp. is it a good idea?
Wondering about this too? Would you have to remove the factory amp?
hi, thanks for this video, i want to do this to my truck, one question, my speakers wires, i have to disconnect them from the harness and run them to the amp? what i have to look for when i buy amp and speakers, do i have to buy an amp for the subs and one for speakers? or i can buy one that does everything? if you can help me with this info, i will love it, i really want to do this to my 2009 dodge ram quad. thanks again.
Nice video. Is there a link to the next vid showing the wiring of the deck to the wires? Thanks.
Is this installation on a quad or crew cab?
I've removed my back seat to my 2014crew ram 1500 permanently. Hey what size are those subs ??
I got a stock 8 inch screen is there a proper wire harness for them screens or do it matter?
Should be good
This was a great video, gave me some incite on what I'll do on my build!!
Did you need to cover that grommet in anyway after you ran the power cable through it? would it tear in its own do you think, or maybe just throw some tape on it and call it good?
Hey what type of screw or bolt you used for the ground?
Thank you so much for this!!! I'm doing the same type of install and I needed to know the easiest way to do this. I wanted to ask...did you tap into the front speaker wires behind the deck or did you pick them up in the side channel along the floor?
If you have a factory deck and you’re installing subs and an amp, you’ll need an adapter and can tap into the rear speakers. If you have an aftermarket deck, you just need to run a remote from the amp to the deck and then just sorry about your power and ground wire.
I have a 2011 Laramie longhorn 2500 with the u connect stock touch screen radio. do I need an adapter to hook up a amp to the truck I have the same jl audio jx1000/1d that's in the video
I have questions about setting up new systems
Thanks for the video, big help for installing my Christmas gift sub.
Installed a single din jvc with a wire harness missing the 12v power wire... was just about to say fuck it and quit b4 finding this video. Thanks for the tip on the lighter outlet!
What’s with all the wire showing?
@ghostlyrich can I still use my oem radio if I put a sub in?
Yes but you need a line output converter like a lc2i
Why just put grills on
What brand head unit is that?
Where did you put the bass knob? Just did install very similar. Not sure where to put it
I put mine in the slide out bin under the AC controls. I don’t have the center console.
My amp stays on, and its draining my battery. Any ideas to fix that?
Means the remote wire is constantly getting power. Depends were you hooked it up and whats feeding it. Its need to be a switched accessory that looses power when trucks turned off
Question: Where can I connect the blue remote wire to? I have a 2017 Ram 1500, and I don't have a cigarette lighter to connect the remote wire to. I did pop out the radio and I see a solid blue wire coming out of the radio but I don't know if it's the correct wire to splice into with the remote wire from the amp.
Is it a aftermarket stereo?? If you use a lc2i for a factory unit it allows you to use the auto sensing feature to turn the amp on and also allows you to add more bass if you the factory head unit has roll off at higher volumes
@@ghostlyrich it's a factory unit.
@@ghostlyrich thanks for the help! If I don't use a lc2i, can I still splice into the blue wire on the factory unit? Assuming that blue wire is the remote wire Lol!
@@ghostlyrich and I can't seem to find a schematic for that head unit.
Wtf i wanted to hear how they came out
What kind of head unit is that?
Where did you get the box at?
Where did you connect the remote wire?
remote wire goes from amp to the blue white wire on radio harness
+ghostlyrich what if the factory stereo has a factory amp connected?
RAW KN on my ram I ran a remote wire to my rear cigarette lighter. cause it turns off with the truck. And won't kill your battery. been like that for a few months now. about to upgrade my subs though . hope that helps.
@@TheSergiose1 thanks that's what I was looking for also. I dont know if I have a rear cig outlet in my 2012 3500 mega cab, I haven't checked but if I do appreciate the heads up
Put a cover on the su
Nice!!Just what I need!!!
What's the mount depth?
Nice thanks for the insight an your time showing us your install 👍
Would i be able to avoid taking the deck apart if i just use a Line out converter from one of the rear speakers?
Andrew Howard yes
Does it have to be tapped into both rear speakers or can i just pick a side. Will i miss out on any audio only pulling from one speaker to my line out converter?
Andrew Howard has to be tapped into both bro. honestly pulling the hu makes it so much easier to hook it all up
Andrew Howard then if u want to upgrade the hu in the future you already have remote and rcas ran up there
I ended up tapping into both rear speakers as my amp has high level input option. Works great. I have the 8.4" UConnect so that will never be replaced.
No one has a video of which wire to tap into in the panel between the doors.
I can tell you the wires but I imagine you already figured it out
What wire harness did you use
the pac module in the video is the wiring harnes
i believe its a chy4 from pack i have it in my dodge deck install video
fuse should be closer to battery!!!
I'm going to mount wood over my subs so they will never get squashed.
1) Watch that power wire off the battery- it looks like it's crimping
2) That fuse is marginally too far from the battery
3) You should absolutely have grill bars over those subs with the seat right on top of them
4) Sharpen the teeth on that beaver that cut away the battery terminal cover
where did you buy your sub box from?
just a ebay one
Jordan Thompson at superior market
I need to find a place to hide my amp
What head unit was that?
Jeff Nobles pioneer app radio 2
hopefully you wont ever get a third brake light water leak, else that amp is toast.
Good thing I don't have fat friends
My screen is 2x is big not to be a hater
