[shado8476]

hey i have a couple ?'s about ur install i am wanting to do that on my 2008 ram if u could call or txt me at 5747475619 id appreciate it

[shado8476]

hey it looks like u did a good job but u shouldnt run the rca cords on the same side as the positive wire it could cause an interference just letting u kno if that happens to u thats y

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@shado8476 i have had that problem in other cars when i used cheap wire, but the wire i used is well insulated and i have no interference issues, normally i try to run it on different sides

[ShellTacos]

@PSPHaCkErAOR what size are the factory frondoor speaker size? My 08' rams factory stink n i wanna upgrade. Tell me what size speaker would fit without any modifications.

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@ShellTacos the front r 6x9's, i have 6.5 components in the truck now, its just a plastic the screws in to the 6x9 cut out and lets u fit a 6.5. the rear is a weird size between 5.25 and 6 i had 5.25's in there all u got to do is drill 4 new screw holes into the door, there might be a plastic piece u can get but idk. i have 6.5 components in the back now cause i made custom panels

[MCgangsta11]

man who ever is sitting in the back is getting an ass massauge lol

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@MCgangsta11

its for all girls, hahaha

[Sm00gle]

Still have the stock battery? Or a yellowtop? Do you have a capacitor?

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@Sm00gle i still have the stock battery, no capacitor. at night headlights dim a little when the sub hits hard, but not enough to really notice, i dont like capacitors, but eventually im goin to get an XS power battery, ive been lagging that, i like them a little more then a yellow top and there not really to much more

[BIDDIXBOY]

I like this sub box man im rilly trying tue find a box for my 12z an hit mea up on biddixboy@gmail.com or text mea 828 736 6420

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@BIDDIXBOY look up proboxrocks thats where this box is from they shipped it to me in CA from TX

[ABlindHilbily]

A really easy way to pass speaker wire through those rubber dust boots in the doors is to remove the rubber boot from the pillar and tape the wires to a coat hanger and pass them through......

[dellguy123]

Hey man im not sure if you purchased the truck new or not but dodge rams have a small compartment right under the stock OEM stereo (the one with the two knobs) what im wondering is ow did you trim/shave your silver piece to where its one big hole and not the hole for the stereo and the other for the compartment?

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@dellguy123

i purchaced my truck new, that is the stock nav radio in this video the dash was different if u didnt have the nav radio, but they sell that piece for $90 online if u want to have the part like mine, then u could fit a double din radio in like i did in part 2 of this

[BeltwayBud]

A bit unrelated, but can you hook a back-up camera to that factory Dodge head unit? I have an 08 Ram Big Horn with the the base head unit (the one with two knobs) and I'd like to upgrade to the OE head unit in your Ram, and add a back-up camera to it. Any ideas?

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@BeltwayBud

there was a cool thing called the lockpick, but if u can has been to the dealer any time from 09 or later they probably updated ur cars computer and it wont work anymore, i had that on my stock navi. had to take it off cause after the update i keep getting check engine, and service airbags, and other lights. the company that makes the lockpick claims it still work but it doesnt other then that idk of anything, y would u want to keep the stock radio instead of aftermarket?

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@PSPHaCkErAOD

i have the pioneer avic-z110bt which does everything the oem navi did and a lot more, it has a back up cam that works fine with it, the newer model out is the avic-z130bt which is even cooler, retail is a lot but u can pick it up for half price if u look around, just order one for a friends car for $865

[Sotexy2]

Yea I'm just putting on a pioneer indash no screen just a radio and later I'ma do the subs and what not, you think our stock infinity speakers would work well with subs? Or you just wanted to change yours? And yea they told me 05's and up need the bypass, I have a bypass in mine for my viper alarm already too

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@Sotexy2

ill pm u what i got in my truck cause it will get deleted if i post it here

[Sotexy2]

Hey man did you need the bypass module? I went to look at radios and they told me I need that and it's $110 bucks

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@Sotexy2

on this video i used a $150 bypass to us stock radio look at my install video 2 i used a $75 bypass when i installed a different radio. if u dont the the car keeps getting check engine, service airbags and other lights to turn on on the dash, its pretty lame and deal charges a lot to get the codes cleared off, but they will come back without the bypass. i think if u didnt have the nav radio it doesnt cause a problem, but im not sure this is just my experience with it

[ERNIIE88]

Kool video. If u want more bass I would recomend geting a custom fiberglass box with 2 12" JL audio w6's. That's what I have in my ram with a JL 1000/1 amp. Now that is some seriouse bass in such little space.

[sergizzy34]

great vid!! by the way my friend and i are connecting a system in his dodge ram just like yours but were having trouble finding a way to put speaker wire through the front door can u help??

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@sergizzy34

ya, what i did was i took the drives side kick panel off, which u probably have off already, then on the front car door theres a clip u can remove(its a bitch) it has 4 tabs on it, get the back tabs first then the ones facing u r easyer, then once thats off its a big plastic clip with wires going threw, theres a spot with none, and i just drilled a hole in it big enough for the wire, then i was able to run it from the door to the car no problem

[nardboi863]

yeah das pretty cool but why didnt u run ur door speaker wires from the head unit to the amp it would have been alot ez er but cool any way

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@nardboi863

lol, thats the lazy crap way. it wasnt necessary here but, when i put my new better speakers in they need thicker wire, the stock stuff is to thin the run anything good to the doors. i would feel that when you do that ur just slappin shit together like anyone, and u dont really know wat u doin, no offense

[nardboi863]

@PSPHaCkErAOD i feel u its jus highs u wouldnt hear the difference but aint nothing wrong wit it do ya thang just a comment

[Marshmallow250f]

hey is tht probox loud and hit hard, i cant tell cause of tha camera, im gettin something like tht, i just wana no what in gettin myself into lol

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@Marshmallow250f

of all the 10"s ive heard these hit the hardest unless, ur goin for compition grade stuff. but 12's still is better, im making new door panels currently to have 2 sets of rockford fosgate t2652 speakers on each door and a new box for 2 12" kicker l7 subs, so im pretty much redoing everything, cause i liked it, but i had 12's in my old truck and heard my friends new 15's so i need more now, lol

[boeschjj]

Hey PSPHaCkErAOD - So by now, how do you like those R-series Alpines? Are you totally happy with them? Would you buy them again if you could do it over? Also, did you do component or coaxial? Are they holding up to the power you're pushing to them? I'm looking pretty hard at the component 6.5" R-series Alpines for the front, and coaxials in the rear doors. I haven't decided on the amps and subs yet. Lots of questions...Thanks for the info!

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@boeschjj

i actually hate them, i have them amped and they arnt very loud, and they distort even when they r getting the rmps (not the peak) power. mine r coaxial that i have, but i bought new door panels, so i can make custom panels for muilitple sets of whatever size speaker i want on each door, im kinda between kicker qs 6.5 and jl c5 6.5 component speakers, not sure yet

[TylerV73]

do you run off of one battery or two?

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@TylerV73

im running 1, but i want to get a second, havent figured out how to fit it yet tho

[jrosas05]

@psphackeraod

Ok thanks man! I'll start looking around!

[jrosas05]

@ psphackeraod

How much watts should my amp be? And do I need to worry about ohm's and all that crap?

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@jrosas05

i have a t1500 on mine at 4 ohms,

yes it does matter the watts and ohms, you dont want to blow anything out.

test tone with voltage meter on your amp

volts x volts / ohms =watts

[jrosas05]

That's a cool set up, I like those subs and the box! I seen them and heard them once! But honesly, do they hit pretty hard? The reason I ask is becuz, a sales man told me that any other subs in that box can sound the same! So i'll like to hear someones point of view that hears them everyday! Thanks dude!

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@jrosas05

i think they hit pretty hard for 10's. there not to much u can really fit in under the seat in the ram. i hear them everyday so i got used to them after awhile and want to try and fit something else in, but havnt fully figured that out yet. but dont get me wrong they are good subs, for 10's there some of the best i have heard, and they impress most people who get in my truck

[DRIFTFACTOR3]

what song was that at the end of the video

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@DRIFTFACTOR3

its called "i'm the ish"

or at least the the original, this is a different version of it, not 100% sure the name

[dagwood60585]

what an unprofessional hack, star screws, what are they in the sky? They are called torx screws! They also sale plastic trim kit tools to keep you from marking up your now useless and ugly dash! You should be ashamed of yourself. What 30k for a beautiful truck and you hack it up! What wrong with you dude. This is the reason companies suggest taking it to the pros!!!

[memphiskicksass]

what is that probox tuned at i was thinking on buying that setup and wondering what can work in that box

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@memphiskicksass

this box i have came with the subs, but they also make a box that can hold 10's or 12's

the im not 100% sure on my subs wat all the specs r but im running 1500watts on them

[bigboi210]

is it a hemi?! lol

[mallow399]

also the one under the door handle is a 10 mm socket ..i used a nut driver.

[mallow399]

i have the same door speakers type r front and back ...had to drill another hole for the screw tho for the back ones ...did you ? the 6x9s fit like a glove. Currently installing 2 1000 watt amps for my apline type x subs and then next summer ill amp the door speakers.

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@mallow399

ya, i drilled the extra hole in my back doors, im changing the speakers tho, cause they arent loud enough for me, especially with the sub installed

[mallow399]

weird if they are amplified they are some of the loudest speakers out there 300 watt peak is decent.

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@mallow399

thats what i thought, but they have small magnets on them, and dont sound the clearest at 300watts. changing them out soon when i get a little more money

[hiei114]

thank you for your help.

[hiei114]

sorry for so many questions btw. i just wanna do this right.

[hiei114]

do you need any special wiring harness for an after market radio, best buy told me i may need a a 130$ harness that had a computer in it for my 07 ram 1500. are they just trying to get more money from me?

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@hiei114

in my part 2 of this video, i put an after market radio in, and i put that part in ur talking about,i got mine for $80 online. without it the cars computer trips out. bestbuy, everything is kinda a rip off, u can get stuff cheaper online, there install r expensive 2 but they do a good job on that

[hiei114]

im putting two 12's im my 07 ram and im going to keep the boxes under the seats for storage, and i want my subs to be able to move like set up right in the floor for another passenger would it be best to mount the amp on the box with thw sub or under the drivers seat? and i love your truck =).

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@hiei114

sry, but wait is the box going on the back seat or the floor?

i would personally put the amps under the seat so that if i wanted to take it out to fit more people or stuff, i would only have to unplug the subs instead of all the amp wires, but i know some people don't like to bolt stuff down to there car, so its ur call of what you be better off with

[MrTonycampos]

alright thanks

[MrTonycampos]

how many watts is your amp for the door speakers

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@MrTonycampos

for my doors i have a 600 watt 4 channel, but im only running it at about 400 watts cause my speakers suck, but im getting better ones soon

[liljohn30]

i will try,yours works fine? would love to know how u did it

[liljohn30]

sounds like i hooked it up like u did...cant seem to figure out why its messed up..both yellow to the battery conn. on the n2 and both grounds twisted together;then the red wire to the acc of the avic

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@liljohn30 try using the blue wire (antena on) on the c2r-chy4, i saw something about that, im not sure, but ill look at mine later

[liljohn30]

how did you hook up the adapter ,i did mine and the radio doesnt shut off...lol im doing what u did but using an avic n2,,i have the red 12 wirefrom the pac unit hooked to the acc on the radio and both yellow wires from the factory harness going to the battery wire of the avic when i plug the radio in there is power all time i dont have to even insert the key..lol

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@liljohn30

i used both yellows twisted together on the pac audio c2r-chy4 as my 12v and i used both blacks as my ground. im pretty sure i used the red as the acc (not the red/white cause u got that to), im looking at the book. i can take my dash apart maybe tomorrow and let u know. u might be able to try the antena on(blue) or the amp on (blue/white) as the acc, but im not 100% sure, ill get back to u on that

[DynoHeat]

yea i was bout to ask u bout that lol

but i think i might not need that cuz mine doesnt have any premium sound it sucks ass i can only go to 24 and if i go any higher it sounds distorted i got an 06 ram it has the new body style but it doesnt have the infinity sound system

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@DynoHeat

i had the nav, but not for some reason the premium sound system was removed by the dealer, so i had the same speakers u have now, they sounded really bad, lol. one there thing tho, with the radio u have, a double din wont fit the trim unless u cut it or get the trim for the nav radio i think, cause my cousin has an 06 also with the stock radio and we could only get a flipout in cause he didnt want to cut or replace the trip

[DynoHeat]

@PSPHaCkErAOD yea i thought urs had it lol i can believe it sounds so bad i need to upgrade all the speakers but i dont want to run another amp hmmm that sucks i want a double din so it looks nice but a 2 din is just as good lol

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@DynoHeat

for sure, u might not need the other amp, if u just put in a new radio and speakers

[DynoHeat]

hey was is that thing called so u can connect ur aux cables to ur factory radio? i have an 06 dodge and got me a box and 2 12" cvts now im waiting on getting it in the mail im gonna use my p1000-1bd

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@DynoHeat

i had the lockpick which let me add an ipod, but that tripped out the cars computer

and

i had the pac audio c2a-chy which gives u rca outs for an amp, but it sound staticly and the radio does output sound if the volume gets turned below 18 on the rec nav radio

this stuff annoyed me so i ripped this radio out and put in the avic-z110bt which i show in my other video, its such a better radio, i show its install in another video

[DynoHeat]

@PSPHaCkErAOD alright thanks man that helped a bunch im glad i didnt buy that i was thinking bout getting me a new head unit a full 2 dinn touch screen do u have any recomendations i dont wanna go past 300

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@DynoHeat

there r not really any 2 dinn's under 300, the ones around 300 have no nave, and r dvd only, i got a pioneer avic z110bt for 900, and they have the new avic x920bt which i saw for 750, which is pretty awesome 2. there r other brands, but the prices are about the same. plus u need to get a Pac-Audio C2A-CHY or else the cars computer trips from not having the original radio which was like $70. its expensive stuff but worth it, i show this stuff in my part 2 of this video

[vwpro177]

how good does that probox and subs hit

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@vwpro177 i posted another video, and it show towards the end, for 2 10's it hits really hard, i still wish i could fit 12s tho, but there pretty good, it u can hear from the outside the truck radeling, and it shakes the mirrors so that u can see out them, lol. it feels really weird sitting on the back seat with it goin, "its for the ladys" lol. from the front it shakes pretty good to, it was making the needle on my speedomiter move a few times, depends on whats playing

[DwSummerfield]

hacker do you you live in cali?

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@DwSummerfield

yes sir

[BigLongJon21]

ok man thts good nice truck anyway man

[BigLongJon21]

hey i see tht u put yur rca cables on the sam side as yur power wire thts not a good idea yur poweer should stand alone by itself if u ben having problems with sound distortion tht the problem

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@BigLongJon21

you should but its kinda hard when u have a amp on both sides of the truck that gets power and rca's lol. it sounds good, there was a little destortion, but it was just the stock radio, so i ripped that bitch out and its super clear now. i got a video but i just havent uploaded it yet

[BigLongJon21]

@PSPHaCkErAOD thts good man nice truck anyway

[guide73]

How did you get the front door wire harness plug things off? I can not seem to get those damn things off. The rear doors are no problem but the front door clips do not come off. What the hell, are you supposed to push on all four corners of that thing and move in the direction of the arrow?????????????????????????­????????????????????????????

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@guide73

i couldnt figure that out either, but my but i got a small screw driver, poped the side facing towards the front of the truck up, then jammed something in to hold it, and poped the side towards me. it was a pain in the ass. to get wires threw it, theres a spot in the plastic clip that has no wires, so i drilled a hole threw it and ran the wires., and it all fits back nice, didnt have to file the door, like i did for my back ones

[MrTonycampos]

what's up my name is ot got a 08 dodge ram i want subs like that how many watts is it on the subs

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@MrTonycampos

i ordered it from probox

they said its rms was 1000 and peak was 2000 watts

i got a rockford fosgate T1500 on it, but im giving it 1250 watts for both the subs together

i made more changes to my system check back later this week and i should have a video of my new pioneer avic-z110bt and other stuff i put in

[MrTonycampos]

what is a good amp to buy to make it loud i got 2 10 2200 watts together 1100 watts each

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

@MrTonycampos

is that the peak power or the rms? your want something around the rms but not past or near the peak. i have rockford fosgate amps, and they work great and i like them. i put some kicker amps in a friends car and that was a pretty nice amp to.

[MrTonycampos]

the peak power

[MrTonycampos]

@PSPHaCkErAOD rms

[MrTonycampos]

@PSPHaCkErAOD rms

[memphiskicksass]

hey dude, how does it sound and what audio would u compare them subs to. i have a dealer that sells them and i talked to the designer of that box and he said its awesome, he runs a t2000.1bd on it, the photo w/ the amps in the bed of the truck is his. main thing how loud is it and how clear is it.

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

i was told when i bought it by the owner of probox he runs a t2000, but im running a t1500 and it seems like that the perfect amount, i set the gain low to cause, they were getting to hot and i dont want to burn them out. but the way i have them, the whole truck shakes. i have the rear sliding window and that seems like its goin to pop open. siting on the back seat is crazy. from the front you feel it in your back, and some times i feel like my air is moving a small amount. its prety good.

[memphiskicksass]

well the owner also says that no other sub will work in that box, every sub will work in any box around there cu.ft. range, only difference is that it will be tuned different depending on ur port area and length. then i dont need no more then a t1000.1bd on them then. question, does the subs have good sound quality or do they distort bad. let me know dude.

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

the sound good, it hits pretty clean

[memphiskicksass]

good, u helped me out a lot man, i'm going to get one and run the new t1000.1bdcp amps which puts out 1000 watts @ 1 and 2 ohms, it's going to be a bad ass amp. what do u have your gain turned up to on your amp.If they were getting hot then they can't handle more then there rms rated power. ttyl dude.

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

my t1500 is at almost the lowest setting. ill put another video up sometime soon show it a little more, ive been busy for a while... lol

and i got my t1500 for $300 on e.b.a.y new, lol

[boeschjj]

Nice setup. Would like to do the same to my truck. About how much did everything cost, if I may ask? Thanks.

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

-the sub box was $600 with the subs

-t1500-1 i got for $400 online

-t600-4 was $300 online

-the speakers were about $300 for the 2 sets online

-i spent about $150 on cable

then i added 2 things to the stock radio which cost me about $300

but thats no longer working anymore for me bacause the dealer damaged it, so i might be geting a new headunit soon.

i spent about a little over 2000 on it total, but theres onter stuff out there for a little less.

[S414422]

So i ordered a loaded with sub enclosure(for under the backseat) with two 10's powered by a 400 watt amp all pre wired. Will i be able to install this setup with out the adapter?

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

depends, if the amp is built in to the box then no, but if its not then u need to install amps like mine.

but u might still have to run a power wire from the battery for the built in amp.

[S414422]

My order hasnt come in yet, but i am fairly sure it is because it said it was all pre wired inside the box so all i had to do was connect it to the stereo system. I planned on getting it professionally installed but after seeing this video. I think i will attempt to install them myselve. Great Video 5 Stars

[brandonearth1]

how do i display psp displayed on computer with usb

[jeepmoabcj7]

Nice Job, i have watched several of your vids for help with my dodge. Were you able to "stack" the REC NAV Lockpick on top of the PAC amp adapter?

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

yes, but the pac has to be connected directly to the back the radio, followed buy the lock pick, then the factory wires, or else u hear buzzing noises.

i might be getting a new radio soon tho, i wanted to keep this one, but the dealer updated my radio without me asking and it made it so my lockpick cant do video anymore, it pissed me off a lot. but other then that it all still works

[jeepmoabcj7]

What did the dealer do to update your radio? I want to make sure i don't let them do the same thing. I just installed the iPAC-CHY behind my REC NAV and it controls the ipod and charges it too. It works awesome but i also wanted to add the Lock pick's rearview camera option, DVD capabilities and the unlock of address entry while moving. I hope it will all work together. Thanks for the vids they helped a bunch.

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

they updated the cars software, which is hooked to the radio which. they told me there machine for checking the car when you take it in for anything automaticly does it when they plug it in, so im screwed on that, lol. i was thinking about puting the ipac-chy in instead of the lockpick cause i cant use it for video anymore, but i kinda want to get the pioneer avic-z110bt, but i dont have that kinda money, lol

[mrslim09]

What is the name of that song?

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

I'm the Ish (remix) [feat. Lil John]

[GreyGhostZ71]

i was thinking of getting the exact setup only ina chevy crew cab, r u happy wih the subs from probox?

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

i like it a lot,it hits pretty hard for 10's. plus the small cab helps. its a very high quality compared to some other stuff i looked at. only thing i didnt like was the box smells like that coating on it, but it went away after about 2 weeks.

are you looking at the CC7210L-1000 box?

[GreyGhostZ71]

yea, that one and the 99X210L-1000

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

thats cool, if u get them, let me know how u like it

[GreyGhostZ71]

will do man.

[Sibobby1]

Great job man, didn't think you could do it, Looks good though. Hit me up sometime, that setup looks insane.
