In this video I upgrade the speakers in my 2004 Dodge Ram. I show you how I fabricated custom speaker adapters to fit these HUGE mid bass drivers.

My factory 6×9's are real close to touching the door panel already . What year is that rig .
I wish they made speakers that I could just replace my speakers with. Dodge sure didn't think this out.
Ha I just see the video with the AMT tweeter I'm curious to see the results. I'm looking at replacing my Audiopipe APCLE1800 and cheap Soundstream 4 channel and maaaby going 100% Toro amps (there R6 half bridged 3.2k rms (4k at advertised 0.5 ohm stability) mono and 2 of there 100wrms x4 amp the RX4s there made by MASSIVE but are trying to be more independent stand alone type brand vs there rebadged cheap line I have one of there 500w a/b monoblock in my pickup and it seems to have good power n SQ, and there fairly new so there affordable. The describe there multi channels as SQ but prob just marketing, I will be using a DSP from someone not Shure who likely Dayton Audio control is very pricy, anyone have any good but affordable DSP suggestions?.
I've been tossing the idea of upgrading budget mix n match 2 way components to an actively crossovered 3 way front stage, but driver selection is a biggie.as far as drivers I know what I'm looking at I'm an audio enthusiast it's just you don't know what your actually getting until you listen to it. I as most want the best for the least amount of money. $200 drivers are just not an option. But Dayton and peerless are quite affordable like $50 +/- midbass drivers for example. How are those SB drivers as far as SQ compared to Dayton, Peerless ect. GRS and Goldwood for example seem just budget oriented. Miss and tweets are another mystery. I did look at a Dayton mini Air motion transformer (AMT) tweeter that seems nice and has a attractive description and reviews and just seems cool looking and different.
Great detailed video!!! Keep them coming.
I like these vids! I would really love a video on how you pick your drivers from parts express. Whats the difference between their " Midbass and Woofer drivers"? Arent those the same thing? Sub handles the lowest frequencies Mid bass is next, then mid range then tweeter. So where does the mid bass differ from a woofer?
How much for the adapter 6.9 to 6.5 front and5.25 rear to a 6.5 adapter for a Dodge Ram 1500 2008..
Man where was this channel 12 years ago when I bought my Ram? I had to learn all the panels and screws and installation myself. I like what you've done with your audio system. I have an 05 Ram Hemi Sport and I build my own fiberglass enclosure under the backseat with 2 Kenwood Excelon 12" shallows. Sounds good but never dug deep enough. I built a center console rear facing sub box with a Plexiglas window for a JL Audio 12w3 to replace the center jump seat. Haven't had time to put her in yet but I can't wait to see how it sounds.
I do not own a router table but it'd be pretty interesting to see how you do set one out I would like to learn how to start using one so. That would be a good video but don't leave anything out even if videos long it's fine
Hey diy audio guy, I have same vehicle is there any chance I could purchase the first setup with the Polk audio and adapter I like the videos.
Happy new year.
Learning a lot from this series. Keep up the great work.
Awesome vid! I also have a ram and thinking about throwing some SB's in my doors. What are the chances of you making me up some adapter plates just like the ones here in the vid? thanks!
What the name off that plastic material?
Very good job
I'm a rookie please teach me Grand Master.
