MTX Audio Sub + Amp Install in a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 (Part 1)

[Blunteeezy]

All these videos have horrible audio quality. Such a bummer

[HemiMr]

did you have to modify the dash in any way to put in the double din radio? it just doesnt look like it could fit where my factory radio was.

[SonicElectronixTV]

@HemiMr There will be some minor trimming inside the dash, its pretty easy but if you are not comfortable doing the trimming we recommend having a professional do it.

[HemiMr]

how big of screen is that radio

[SonicElectronixTV]

@HemiMr The Kenwood DNX9140 has a 6.95" touchscreen display, it is also a full color LCD screen.

i have that same truck with the alpine sound system with sub, dvd but no nav,

1.

i would like to add a couple of headrest monitors,

2.

i would like to bypass the no view in motion dvd play setting

3

Add some alpine subs to keep the alpine theme

im thinking alpine Type r 10s, shallow or no shallow mount subs?

What do u recomend?

[chorstma44]

Does the stock 09 ram head unit have rca outlets? Can you put a sub in one while keeping the stock head unit?

[SonicElectronixTV]

@chorstma44 Most stock head unit does have RCA outputs. If you want to install a subwoofer without removing the stock head unit you will need a Line-Out converter. This will convert speaker channel wire into RCA output. I recommend the Xscorpion LC014.4R. This is the best solution for OEM integration.

[chorstma44]

@SonicElectronixTV Ok thanks. Can you also tell me if the stock unit out of the ram on this video had rca jacks? Im trying to put a sub in a 09 ram 1500 and need to know if it has the hookups before I proceed. Thank you

[SonicElectronixTV]

@chorstma44 Unfortunately that particular stock radio does not have RCA outputs. You will definitely need a Line-Out Converter or new head unit.

[chorstma44]

@SonicElectronixTV Ok thank you! I will look in to buying that adapter you recommended

[SonicElectronixTV]

@chorstma44 No problem, let us know how it all turns out.

[qrahnt]

What type of speaker wire is that?

[SonicElectronixTV]

@qrahnt We used a spool of the following speaker wire, StreetWires UCT1225BL. Unfortunately we no longer sell the spool but we do sell 25ft of cable.

[custombobbs]

i order from sonic all the time, yall are the best when it comes to prices

[51wacth]

where can i find a video on a 2005 dodge? 

[AlienMobster06]

Thanks for the answers I'm taking your advice. Great videos and Sonic Electronics Rocks!.

[AlienMobster06]

would the jensen vm9312 stereo be a good match for this set up or what should I look for in a stereo to match up?.

[DaWalkDude]

@AlienMobster06 you should save for something a little better, go for Alpine, Pioneer or Clarion, much better value and build quality

[SonicElectronixTV]

@AlienMobster06 Stereos are tricky because often it comes down to what features you want and how much you actually want to spend. Jensen is a solid brand, not the best but by no means the worst. When matching a head unit to a set up you should really look at 2 important factors. First is the RCA preamp put puts, you want 3. This makes installing easier and gives you more options. Second is the preamp voltage, the higher the stronger the signal, which then gives a cleaner sound.

[AlienMobster06]

are these tt6510-02 or 04?

[SonicElectronixTV]

@AlienMobster06 The subwoofers we use in the video are the MTX Audio TT6510-04. The subwoofers are wired in parallel for a final impedance of 2 ohms. The amplifier pushes a total of 600W of RMS power, 300W to each woofer. It's a perfect matchup!

[JonDeth]

Why do I still see retards thinking that mounting their amp directly to their subwoofer box in the trunk is a good idea? Contrary to their ignorance, electronic circuits do not handle vibration, slamming, jarring etc well. When their caps fault 10 years earlier than they should have, they''ll blame the manufacturer.

[Cudosboards97]

Nice installation. How much does that entire sound system cost?

[LeakyDiaper]

Blue wire hater !!!

[SonicBrendan]

@LeakyDiaper I like Blue wire! Just not under a hood where is doesn't look like it belongs! Hence the split loom:)

[rsmelto]

i like the install video. hopefully, some of these guys on here will learn a thing or 2 about installing a system that looks like something. i see so many videos where the install looks like garbage. i don't care how loud it gets if it looks likw shit!!!

[ansonx10]

Keep them coming!

Who is the cameraman and editor for these videos? He should get credit too.

[fennygolf]

man i wish i could work for yall great stuff great products def going to keep buying from yall

[ninjakawasaki1972]

This should be a show on tv, the quality is beastly
