hey i have a question what size are the speakers in the 2012 dodge ram quad cab slt 1500 i know in all 4 of the doors its 5x9's but what size is in the dash can any one please help me??

@BenchGurl8399 Unfortunatly, this vehicle is brand new so we do not have a sufficent amount of information about it. The ones in the dash are most likey going to be tweeters which vary in size.

what if u have a single cab 2010 dodge ram? mine doesnt have the AC port... is it the same thing

[SonicElectronixTV]

@loganAO2 It should be essentially the same. The screw may be located in a different area since you don't have the A/C port. Just check the manual for the dash-kit and it will tell you where the screws are for radio removal.

what if you have a center console with bucket seats do you need to remove that too in order to get to the center facia?

[SonicElectronixTV]

@trenttyre This video specifically shows the stereo removal for a 2009 Dodge Ram. If you have a 2006-2008 Ram then you may require different steps for radio removal. I don't believe you'll need to remove the center console either way though.

Thank you for showing a Dodge RAM with Bench Style seats. All the documents and other vids I saw were for the captain's seat style. This is very helpful and makes it clear that there is even less to deal with / remove if you have the bench seat (3 across). This is the same style as the 2010 also.

yeah i foudn that its the same 2 screws where that small mat is where it says dodge.. u have to use a torque screw, and then once thats out u just have to feel at the bottom left for the clip and it shug just take a few tugs and the whole thing pops out... your video helped me alot though finding the screws

@trenttyre You need to remove the upper trim on the center console in order to remove the dash. On the models that do have the center console. Now that should be able to be removed with just a pry tool..

@SonicElectronixTV yea i have a 2009 ram 1500 crew cab
