2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab Stereo Install Video 2 (Pioneer AVIC-Z110BT Install)

[nYmPhMoBiLe08]

Hey thanks for the video it was very helpful but i have a few questions! I have the same truck as you with the 7 speaker infinity system and im looking to update the system with a new HU, amp and speakers. My question is do i need to buy a harness or can i just do all new wiring?

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@nYmPhMoBiLe08 i dont like to cut factory wire which is y i use a harness but its really up to u. r u changing the radio as well as the speakers cause the radio plays a big part in how everything sounds and a stock radio with high level outs is never as good as an aftermarket with low level outs. i think the infinity system uses a factory amp so u need to run new wires for all the speakers into the doors or else ur goona run into problems, i did that on mine its kinda a bitch lol

[nYmPhMoBiLe08]

@PSPHaCkErAOD Yes im going to get the Pioneer AVH-P4300 and a 4 channel amp to run 6 of the 7 speakers. How big of a pain in the ass is it to run all new wires? I can dedicate 2 days to it if i need to!

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@nYmPhMoBiLe08 its just hard to pull the wires threw the rubber door boots cause there really small other then that not to bad

[nYmPhMoBiLe08]

@PSPHaCkErAOD Alright kool thanks bud i appreciate the help! Ill be ording my stuff soon!

[mrpep1976]

nice job! I have a 2300 pioneer and am dying to put in the Sirius I have the Sirius but i hate all the wires and crap all over the place. that kit you have is perfect. Do you pay extra for the Sirius or is your payment the same.

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@mrpep1976 its the same as for cars that came from the factory with it, idk if what u have makes it cheaper or not, but i dont think so. but i always wait til like the last minute to pay again for the year an act like idk if i want to resubscribe and they usually lower the price a little, hahaha

[Bryanstud1234]

I have 2 cvt 12in kickers under my seat with the factory radio in my dodge ram 1500,i have a box just like yours but its a little smaller i was wondering if you knew what would be best for me to get to make my system bang a lot harder and be top notch? and what type of amp to you have?

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@Bryanstud1234 first start i would lose the stock radio cause its high level out which dont have the same sound quality as low level outs (RCA's) and the stock radio doesnt have a sub channel so ur subs r running off ur back speaker signal most likly so ur not get most the notes the subs should play. u dont have to get as crazy of radio as this, u just want something with 3 sets of rca outs, fronts, rears, subs a lot of cheap radios dont have that

[nolqqkn]

What did you do with your old radio? does it work and is it for sell.

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@nolqqkn i have it, it works, not planing on selling, cause im gonna put it back in the truck for when i sell it and get another, i didnt cut any factory wires

[k2parkstar160]

damn! that came out good and sounds naaasty! cant wait to do that to my ram. what year is your truck? does it have the hemi? truck sounds good man!

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@k2parkstar160 its an 08 with the 5.7L HEMI

[dfranklin5891]

Do you know if I can swap out a single disc radio out of a 2007 ram ST and install the 6 disc navigation touch screen unit. Think the only thing i would need is the bezel. what options did the lock pick offer.

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@dfranklin5891 i think it would work cause its the same plug and they both talk to the cars computer, but im not sure i would ask the dealership. the lockpick lets u watch video on the radio with rca inputs, but the lockpick caused computer problems with my truck, which is y i put the pioneer z110bt in my truck

[gnarlycs]

you call yourself a "hacker" but yet you can't figure out how to edit the raw footage from an iphone? is that a joke?

[SPavlinec1]

Can I buy your old radio

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@SPavlinec1 not planning on selling the radio cause when i do sell the truck the original is going back in it, i didnt cut any factory wires so it will be really easy

[jewballz19]

I went down to Kaufman and visited with the owner of probox. Schooled the shit outta me and my friend on how to fine tune a system. He let us sit in his truck, which has the same set up as you, he turned it all the way up to the maximum. No clipping at all! The guy is a fucking genius!

[07tundrarider]

thats what sub i looked at their products but kinda of afraid of ordering subs i have never heard before.

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@07tundrarider

ive had the subs for a while and i beat the shit out of them, i got them running well over the peak power and they hang all day

[07tundrarider]

is that box and sub any good i want something that hits ?

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@07tundrarider

it hits clean and hard for 10's best 10's ive had so far

[timpesther]

were did you get the sub box

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@timpesther

search proboxrocks and the site will come up

[AgustinB84]

what dash kit did u use? i kno9w i need to have the navigation dash(i have the non nav dash with the C type knobs but already bought the replacement nav dash) but the radio still has a big gap to it...

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@AgustinB84 i cant think of the kits name look on metra's site of scoshe's site they have they kits and u can get them other place for cheaper but those r the places to look them up

[denoves35]

@AgustinB84

hey did you factory system had the two plugs on it. like the small plug with the green wires on it. I am trying to make sure i get all the rite part to put my system in.

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@denoves35

my factory radio had 3 plugs in it, the was a rectangle plug which has everything for the after market radio then next to it is a square one that idk what is for but dont need it, then by it self there was another square plug that, is for rear seat video if u have that, there also was a am/fm antenna and a satellite antenna plug

[djjacobie]

basically....basically......ba­sically.....

[51wacth]

how do you open the back doors panels if you have manual window openers?

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@51wacth

they should be u get the window opener off,take the door handle off, then there is one screw on the panel, after that the panel should slide up freely and then will come off, idk how to take the window crank off in the truck cause i have power, but shouldnt be much harder then taking them off any other car

[Chuckster1414]

@PSPHaCkErAOD what was the last song you played?

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@Chuckster1414

over by drake

[djjacobie]

@51wacth they sell a wrench to take the crank off at autozone, pep boys, orileys and all over the net

[deerslayer1015]

do you recommend the pac audio device?

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@deerslayer1015

i dont recommend keeping the stock radio, with the pac at low volumes there was a feed back buzzing sound, u dont have to go all out and get $900 radio like i did but any aftermarket with stock rca outs will sound better then a stock radio every time

[slymylizard]

did the back door speakers screw right in or do they need adapters?

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@slymylizard

the opening is a little bigger the 5.25, and there r 3 screw holes that wont line up with aftermarket speakers, what i did was put in 5.25's in and used 4 self tap screws to hold them in. and now i custom fit 6.5's in the back if u see my newest video on my truck

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

not really sure cause i keep changing stuff out, i got new speakers in another video, and next going and another set of speaker and try to fit 12" subs to replace the 10's

this radio i picked up for $850 when it was new, now theres the z130bt, which i just installed in a friends truck but havent uploaded yet, picked that up for $865

[The3JProduction1]

wow bro nice truck.... and nice system nd shit congrats bro....how much it cost u?

[FromThe3PointLine]

so whats the lock pick thing?

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@FromThe3PointLine

it is a piece of shit thing that let watch videos and use ipod on stock nav, but it doesnt work after dealer software update, it gets ur car to throw error codes

[MrCudasrt8]

wow sexi girl

[SuperRitchey]

hey man i have a 2007 dodge quad cab and got the same pro box with the pro boxs 10in subs and how did u wire the subs to ur mono block amp? thanks love the video keep them coming!!!!!!

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@SuperRitchey

depends if ur subs in the box r wired inside for 2 ohm or 4 ohm, im not sure what mine is anymore, i think my subs r wired 2 ohm in the box so i wired them series to the amp to get 4 ohms total

[TheseOpenRoads]

How much did this cost you?

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@TheseOpenRoads

got radio for 850

adapter was like 75

idk on the rest of the stuff

[TheseOpenRoads]

@PSPHaCkErAOD But what about the subs and stuff? I was thinking of getting a full system but have no idea how much it would cost me

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@TheseOpenRoads

my subs came with my box, it was $600

$150 on cables

original $100 each for 2 sets of speakers

now i got $250 each on on 3 sets of speaker(not finished with install so no video yet)

i got the t1500 for $300

t600.4 was $350

u can do a good system for a lot cheaper, but u do pay for the quality (doin a few cheaper installs for friends i will probably post in the future as well)

i spent the most on the radio, there r $200 ones just as good, but no navi

[ilovesarahball]

what size is your box for your subs? i have the same truck and i dont know what size to have my box to fit 2 10" subs

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@ilovesarahball

i dont know on the size of the box itself, its was just a premade for 2 10 in a dodge ram

[obrnat06]

What installation kit is that? Is there a large gap around the outside? Just did a similar system and got a metra kit with a terrible gap.......not happy

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@obrnat06

ya thats the one i have, it doesnt seem to fit to good, the bottom sticks out to far on the piece that clips on

[Sotexy2]

Hey what all did you splice into for the bypass I see you have a while bunch taped up

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@Sotexy2

its plugs into the stock plug and has wires to splice to ur radio, ill pm

[marshallandgrant]

what kind of subwoofers are those and how much did it cost

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@marshallandgrant they r probox subs, there made by the company that made my box, they are the best non spl 10" subs i have heard, not to many subs fit in that small space under the seat or else i would of got way bigger, lol. but for the size of the cab they shake the shit out of everything in the truck

[holla180]

where did you get the probox from

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@holla180

proboxrocks is the website, there a company in texas, they ship there stuff all over, this box and subs was shipped from them to my house in california

[sbcaprice305]

very nice n clean..However i would change the subs asap.

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@sbcaprice305

there good for what the room u have, the hit hard for 10's, but im goin to try and fit 2 12" l7 im also doin custom door panels to have 2 rockford t2652's on each door.

got the panels, almost enough for the speakers then im goin to make the panels

[Marshmallow250f]

hey man i plan on gettin the same thing as you. do they hit hard and sound loud? cause im iffy if there even good. im stuck between what you have and a custom box with 2 p3 rockford fosgate shallow mounts 12in's. ive just heard tht what you have will rock the hell outa the truck. idk if there just saying tht or what

[christiangr22]

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@christiangr22

[MadCow5303]

First off thanks for sharing this. I have a 08 also and I am now onto the audio portion of the mods on my truck. I have a few questions I would like to ask to help me decide on what to go with. First off I am torn on the subwoofer box. I like the Pro Box however watching your video is the first that I have seen or heard of it. I was going to try a bassforms fiberglass box but I have kids so I need to be able to have the seats down. Do you have any issues with you subs hitting the seat?

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@MadCow5303

the subs are not in the way at all, i can pm u some pics and stuff tomorrow when its light out. u can sit on the seats fine, its like sitting in a massage chair, its a little strong, but i have it so i can turn it down or off if people in back dont like it. when i got it i thought it was great, but i got used to it and im trying to find a way to go bigger and better, i got a lot of new stuff im putting in, but i put this on hold temporarily, cause i have another project car

[1986postman]

@PSPHaCkErAOD i have a center console box w/ Orion pro 12......for sale

[DRIFTFACTOR3]

is the satilite radio free or do you have to pay a mouthly fee or somthing

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@DRIFTFACTOR3

its a once a year payment of like 150, but i talked them down to 100 or some bs like that, cause thats way to much in my opinion to pay for that

[DRIFTFACTOR3]

@PSPHaCkErAOD thnks man but i have one more questoin do you think that type of radio can fit into my 2008 dodge ram that has the regular radio

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@DRIFTFACTOR3

my cousin has the same truck, but the regular radio like u, and it wouldnt fit, but i can always look online for a 06-08 dodge ram radio bezel for nav. i saw some for about $100 on e,b.@,y. or u can go with a 1 din flip out like he did

[thecrazynebraskan]

how do those alpine speakers sound??

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@thecrazynebraskan

not very good,u mostly here highs with them and not much mids so thats not really good,and they arent very loud either, i just order a new set of door panels and im goin to put to sets of 6.5's in them, ill post that soon, goin to be sick.

my cousin who has the same truck as me put these kenwood 6x9 5 way speakers in and there amazing, u hear every little detail

[MPLSTORM]

Dodge trucks>ford,gm

[MrDsei]

Nice setup. I have an 08 that I plan on doing something similar to. One question, do you have your GPS and SAT antennas mounted under the plastic dash or did you do a cutout? If it's under, how is your reception? Thanks in advance.

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@MrDsei

theres a pic i show of my 2 antenas on for the sirus and the other for gps, i put them under the dash where the stock middle speaker was, and i made a metal cut out to fit and hold them in place. receptions fine for me, cause its not 100% covered, cause theres some what of a hole for a speaker

[consmac61]

You can use the Rockford Fosgate 3Sixty.2 and Add the yourSystem While keeping All the Factory Equipment (Just to let you know) Anyway Nice System

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@consmac61

i know, but thats about $600 and for just a little more i got a way better radio so it all worked out

[hiei114]

5 gum ftw!

[TheAustinHenry]

nice, how you like the T600-4?

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@TheAustinHenry

its a pretty good amp, i like it, just its more power then i need for the crappy alpine r speakers i have, but im putting better ones in soon, and then have the t600 going to be better

[ShawnJSpiller]

Two more questions, on a scale of 1-10, 10 being hardest, what is the ease of the system you've set up (stereo, subs, lockpick, etc)? And in my ram, I've just got the standard radio, so do I need to get a different trim piece, because the standard radio has the cutouts for the knobs? Thanks again

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@ShawnJSpiller

u need the trim piece only if ur going to put in a double din like this radio, otherwise a single din, radio will fit fine with ur current trim piece. my cousing did that in his 06 ram with ur radio. you dont need the lockpick, u need the pac audio C2R-CHY4 to hook to your new radio. if ur keeping the stock radio its a little different. the only hard part of this is running the wires from amp to door speakers, if u plan to do that.

[ShawnJSpiller]

How much was the z110bt? Nice system!!

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@ShawnJSpiller

pioneer has it listed for $1799, which is a joke cause i see it all over for $1000

i got mine for $850 new online with free shipping

[vwpro177]

where did you buy the probox

[vwpro177]

how much did the probox with the subs cost?

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@vwpro177 it was $600 and it included shipping then i got a rockford t1500.1 online(e$b%a&y) for $350 to power it, a t1000.1 is good enough i think, i just got such a good deal i bought the t1500.1

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@vwpro177

proboxrocks is the website with a dot c-o*m at the end

[Sibobby1]

Wow Ridiculous set up you got there man, Looks awesome. Good job

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

im not really planing on selling it, cause i dont know how long im goin to keep the truck, and if i do im not giving them my z110bt lol. but if u search rec on e-b.a-y u can find used and new of these radios for sale.
