got a 2000 dodge truck with infinty system like this with the speaker amps
. putting in new sony 6x9s in front doors and my idea is to drill two holes
in door framing to screw the amps to . then make some extension peices of
wire so door wires can still reach speaker posts . why they had to
complicate another thing on a vehichle such as these speaker amps is
ridiculous . we want simple sturdy easy to fix vehichles but idiots are
making them more complicated by the year
That plastic peace is a amplifier. For the speaker and unless you by pass
it you will need it for your next speaker! By passing is easy but if not
done right it will take our the tweeter. Im an audio installer .
Imagine if some auto maker was smart enough to put a small opening door so
u could change speakers in 10 minutes. One of my 99 Dodge fronts went out
too, they must put in POS’s to begin with.
whitesnake :)
The fronts are 6×9’s and the rear are 5.25″. You can actually put two
5.25″‘s in each rear panel. There is already holes cut for them. All you
have to do is drill the holes for the screws.
What size speaker are those. Also does anyone know the size of the rear
ones.
that plastic peace your attaching,is it impotent, can i attach it without
it,and if not will it still work on my new speaker,the cercular part on the
back to big for it, will it still work?
thank god , i was wondering the same thing!!!
Yes.
these are amps and run off 12 volts the impedence from the stereo up front
will not run a speaker its so weak its like a phone cartridge your stuck
with the amp speaker or an aftermarket stereo replacement plus probably
speakers too plus wiring in other words blow an amp get an amp or complete
aftermarket system
thanks for that napa part number on those replacement fasteners. Just
replaced my window regulator in my 98. no sense in trying to save those
things. cheers
Nice and thanks for posting the wires you found.
thanks for the video, I’m planning on changing my 01 dodge ram speakers out
and was curious what it took to do it, I hate surprises so i always see if
someone has done it also
The reason your new speaker sounded bad, is the infinity amp only produces
mid to low tones. It tries to rely on the pillar tweeter for highs
I was wondering what that part was because my 2000 Ram Sport doesn’t have
that and I have those same exact 6×9 Pioneers. Question answered lol
My god I just put myn together and almost Checked out for good right there
and it was working when it was apart and now they don’t work again… Need
to be replace),:
Why wouldn’t you just get rid of that stupid noise filter thing Thats what
I did and the speaker sounds way better w/o it! Just asking!
Thanks, been looking for a video like this for a while my speakers on my 98
ram need replaced this will be of great use to me!
It is the part of the job I fear most.
Thanks I have an 01 dodge ram and was worried to take my panels off
thinking I was going to have to modify that amp onto my new speakers for my
truck but fortunately I dont have the infinity sound system so i shouldnt
have anything like that to begin with right?
That thing attached is an amp. Some dodges use individual amps to power
their speakers.
I decided to up grade my stereo to a 220 watt sony explode and since to
amps on the front doors are only 30 watts max i by passed them since the
stereo puts out 55 watts per speaker i found the blue and yellow are
positive one is the positive from the stereo and the other is the positive
to the tweeter the brown and the orange are the negative one is the
negative from the stereo and the other is the negative to the tweeter the
violet and the green are the positive and negative that power the amp
how do u bypass it?
rape voice
how come rite when u go outside ur like whispering…? lmao just wondering
HI, I appreciate the video. However after watching about 100 of these
videos, and talking with stereo install, and dodge, it seems like the
wiring diagram for the stock amp on the front door speakers (99 ram 1500)
is somewhat of national security. No one knows, or wants to say. I bought
the truck and one of the amps are cut out. So I’m replacing the door
speakers. However I need to find the wiring diagram for the 12 or so wires
that feed that speaker amp so I can bypass it. ?? thanks
Is the front door speakers 6x9s both my speakers are bad just wondering so
i don’t buy the wrong size.
If you didn’t do your research on to what that part was on the speaker that
you thought was a filter was a standalone amp for that single speaker,
congrats you probably have the infinity stock sound system. I replace the
door speakers in my 2002 2500 and don’t have the premium sound system so
its just standard 6×9 with the Chrysler logo on it no amps.
By the way I know how those door panels are they SUCK!!!!
The thing piece you are calling a ‘filter’ is actually an amp. rams with
the infinity sound system have those amps on the front speakers and yes the
front speakers are 6×9 and I think the rear door speakers for extended cabs
are 5.25 inch. I would check to make sure though about the rears.
Well I wasn’t totally sure what they were so I put them back. To be honest
I never thought about simply trying the system without them. Just put them
back on auto-pilot.
