2019 Ram 911 DD audio amps mount Installer Diaries 256 part 3

[@bikeaddiction9499]

I was kind of born into the whole car audio world. My dad owned several stereo shops throught Southern California. Being an installer myself since I was around 10 yrs old I'm definitely not a "noobie" and from my years of experience there has always been 3 different types of installers. There are "Bad" installers , "good" installers, and there are "great" installers.... Until I came across a few of your videos. You my friend are in a class of your own!! You're attention to detail is amazing and the love you put into your work definitely shows on so many different levels. Hands down the best installer I've ever seen! keep up the great work!!

[@Jdub1435]

Awesome work! You're workflow is so efficient, a true master at your craft at work, it is a pleasure to watch! That would have taken me days to pull off wiring that amp rack up. I get frustrated sometimes just wiring up a simple 2 amp system and coming up with the best way to arrange all the wires and distribution blocks with the limited space I have to work with , and make it look great and professional. Its amazing to me to see how quick and efficient you achieve this in a relatively complicated install such as this. I guess a lot of it comes with experience and a lot of trial and error over the years, but you are just great at what you do and your videos are always helpful and informative and I appreciate the work you put into making quality top notch videos as well. It is easy to see you have been doing installs for a couple of days.

[@alpinedb150]

I have been a hobbyist in car audio industry as long as I had a license to drive. For the the most part, I've hardly ever encountered any installers that genuinely care about their work. You guys are a huge exception to that! Keep up the amazing work! This was so satisfying to watch as with all your videos! I hope one day I can have you guys work on one of my audio projects.

[@jimquinty5378]

WAY TO CRAZY AND HE PAID good for you guys

[@jeremyb8333]

I must say, your wiring and fabrications are nothing short of a work of art! I'm super ocd with things like that and watching you do these installs is awesome! Great job every single time

[@chaos4197]

You guys are car audio ninjas, no doubt about it.

[@jakegarcia6143]

its vids like this that make me not want to take my truck to any other shop. you guys make other shops look terrible

[@bdbbdb9691]

Ur a mad scientist...I love it

[@macalla1996]

Y'all know I love you guys to death y'all do the most amazing job unimaginable basically as always doing it up right literally up right but (This is my opinion ladies and gentlemen) This customer literally should have went with the Digital Designs audio 5.1500 5 Channel amplifier. Good enough amplifier for the whole vehicle in a lot easier to install. What I'm saying is a complete space saver. Anyway can't wait to see the next video. y'all are amazing seriously! Dean and Fernando y'all are top dogs in the auto audio world! They should make a video on TV or KZbin where they bring all the best auto audio installers together to do a challenge. That would be E P I C!!

[@cheapme1850]

I agree. I didn’t like the closing up of the air vents. At some point you have to tell the customer that something isn’t going to work or isn’t feasible. I know those amps cost a lot but those vents were put there for some reason and the customer may have to bite the bullet and find something that fits.

[@thillyard1]

That amp rack was crazy.. Great job! You guys are both an inspiration for this DIYer.

[@sl265i]

nice job dean

[@TheSXTNYNR]

AMAZING work as always. Dean, you never disappoint with your creativity👍👍👍

[@lesliedell7732]

We call it a wire trough where the body harness runs down the sides of the floor pan. Great work as always.

[@deeg4n000]

I love seeing OCD at it finest. Wire pr0n is awesome

[@Hoppysjunkyardrally]

I absolutely love to watch you wire up racks Dean! They always become art!

[@barrymonroy7138]

Dam Dean!!! That's just massive. I think thats the biggest challenge I've seen on your show yet...

[@chriswhite4596]

Once again you’ve Master Minded this Amp Rack Beautifully !!!!!!!!

[@IsmaelMartinezPR]

Cool music and edit.

[@Ricardo_C]

Your installs are works of art.

[@tejael1]

Wow that wiring job

[@jpj1980]

One of of Ram forum members noted he ran zero gauge wire on the passenger side. He said there was a lot more room on that side.

[@workaholic7600]

I've been around car audio and installations all my life. Starting at 8 years old in 1987. From North Carolina to Northeastern P.A. I want to say Dean, you are by far the absolute best installer I've ever witnessed! You are like and Audio god! Remember that? ( Dean the human Audio Bible) Thank you so much for these videos man I have picked up a ton from watching and learning. You have inspired me to be better than I've ever imagined! Fernando you are not far behind Dean Amigo I have been here from the start and was a patron for almost 2 years witnessing you become this master installer almost as good as your teacher. ( I am so envious ) You both are Rock Stars in the Audio world, there are many more that feel the same way. From florida to Maine across the country in Cali they may not say or admit it but its well known you 2 are the best there is in the installing world. From the soldering to the mounting. You both have made a huge impact in my life and now Im making money on weekends practicing what you teach. Funny looking at my work, sometimes I want to send pics saying look what you have thought me! You both have my gratitude and one day I hope to meet you guys.

[@thenotoriousrvh6091]

Post'em up on "clean wire club" Facebook page, that's what it's for.

[@cl3344]

Think I would of just sold all my old amps and let you pick what was best for my setup. Best thing to do is just bring you money and let you work your magic.

[@tkay4401]

Now that is impressive!

[@BlackLung911]

It seems like the owner was told by the previous shop that bigger is better when buying the Amps. You guys have shown the tiny Kicker Amps that would have done the job & 3 Kickers would have taken the space of 1 of these Amps.

[@TheOriginalHeisenberg]

Look at his amp work!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@ivanwillie24]

That is nice clean built 👍

[@TriGonz1]

Hey guys, long time watcher, first time... Question: I've searched through your million videos, and was wondering simply where do you source your speaker wire, what sizes do you use for different applications, and how to you twist them? I've always just used the regular paired wire from Stinger or NVX, but I never see you using that. Probably a couple rudimentary questions, but if there's not one already I'd love to see a few videos on some basic techniques, such as twisting wires etc. Thanks!

[@southjerseysound7340]

Google speedwire, it's what they use a lot of the time and as far as twisting goes, just put the ends in a drill,pull taught but not super tight and slowly twist it with the drill on low speed. Just remember that it's going to shorten the wire some by twisting it and if you go too tight on long runs it wants to bunch up. But if you yank on it after it helps to stop it from happening.

[@MrFuchew]

I was starting to think Dean could only do perfect installs on sad 5 channel kenwood amps

[@johnnywood8082]

Favorite part of videos: amp rack building and wiring

[@jjhdez4715]

I would like to have a rack panel on my Silverado it looks perfectly fine without damaging anything on the truck keep up the good work guys.

[@reithig]

Amazing job from the layout to wiring........thanks for sharing.

[@bigrobstillpimpn]

Absolutely killed it on this one Dean. What kind of wire is that you used for the twisted pairs I find alot of cca not alot of ofc and what I do find has a harder coating not super stiff but feels different for sure

[@Joe_HamRadioGuy]

Wow wish I knew a place here in central CT with someone that has wire management skills like that. Great job guys I learn a lot from your videos 👍👍

[@ricks8872]

Man this is some top-notch work. Great job guys very professional

[@Evilthx]

I am curious as to why you wouldn't just run the 0awg power wire externally then drill the proper sized hole, grommet the hole and bring the cable into the cab. I did this in my '95 Grand Cherokee. The cable was supported along the frame with nylon cable straps and self tapping screws. It was very secure and not one issue ever arose.

[@richardlangly4635]

Wow, this is some of your best work. I can only hope when I take my car in to get a new sound system fitted that the installers are half as thorough and professional as you and Fernando. Excellent work, and great video as always.

[@DouvikasC]

I’m at the point where I all of a sudden don’t trust letting anyone else do installs in my vehicles.

[@RandomAudioGuys]

So is this type of installation charged by the hour or preset prices ? Do we have a cost on this redo job yet ?

[@Fitsixxoh]

Love you guys work !! So clean and professionally thought out

[@cueball981]

Yup, running 1/0 gauge in these new Rams is no fun! Dean, one thing I did to get it to lay right going by the front seat was to snip out that plastic divider that splits down the middle of the raceway. Once I did that, so much easier. Great job, to Nando and you, figuring out how to make the most out of a tight situation!

[@southjerseysound7340]

Another option is to run dual cables if it'll carry enough. I've found that it's easier to fit 2 smaller cables over 1thats like a fire hose in newer cars with tight interiors.

[@awomanzgadget]

I Love YOu Alls Expertise...I Know Thinks Cost But Hopefully You Guys Can Help. I have a 2016 buick lacrosse and struggle to find the wires for my lc2i converter not for subs but for the interior speakers. please PLEASE Help thanks

[@theotts1]

That amp rack is a work of art. More Picasso than Rembrandt, but definitely a work of art.

[@Harvz78]

How do you know if the amps requires a twisted RCA cable or a coaxial RCA cable?

[@supervette9953]

would of scrapped the 3 amps for a JL Audio 5 channel

[@TheLassenman]

Wow i am really impressed by this reinstall of all this carstereo stuff. Kudos to 5 Star Car Stereo :)

[@daveyjones2010]

Wish I could get you guys to upgrade my system...

[@VitaliyHTC]

Ooooo man, I'm impressed with quality of your work and clean install. That is example how we must do our work! I just preparing components for my build (Dragster DAF 6004, DAF 1754, DD M3c and a lot of other components). PS. I'm Android developer :D

[@floydwilliams3321]

Your attention to detail is why I am going to come from Kentucky and have you do my ram 2020 ram 3500 I called and left you guys a message today which is August 26 I think 2021 Give me a shout when you guys get a chance it’s Floyd from Kentucky

[@82mattlopez]

F150s don't look so bad now compared to the new Rams. Lol Awesome job

[@uptobatentertainment]

🔥🔥🔥🔥 excellent planning and execution! Looks awesome 👏

[@ibrheemmikbel8131]

Follow Dean and Franado Car Stereo Clips and 12v clean wire club

[@wadephillips6052]

Great job!!! Was waiting to see the rack and wasn't disappointed!

[@Robertb00]

I ran 0 gauge in my Ram same issue, I was also fortunate to have tons of space behind drivers side rear seat to mount the 2K. And I can’t say enough good things about the dual 12 fox box. Absolutely ridiculous bass on tap with the DC level 3 12s

[@MACguely]

Thank you for the video. Like always you do a beautiful job on wiring. Please keep doing videos

[@officiallajames3875]

What do u do with the extra RCA

[@ericklinares9340]

BRO I Think you should make only one video of all of this like you us to this si to much waiting bro

[@DjCBlaq]

What type material is that rack made of, pvc correct? What thickness

[@hectorperez6293]

Amazing work,clean installation like every singe one,but this one look awesome

[@rexwilliams4273]

You guys do awesome work. Wish I could get mine to you for a make over lol

[@pollocko91]

Can anyone here help me. I have a 2006 acura mdx ripping out the bose sub as it rattles I have an alpine amp already run in the back so not worried about power but what is the best shallow mount sub for one of these spots. I am looking at the 10 inch kicker comp rt? any advice would be great

[@chadgriffith6299]

where is your shop at

[@Madmoney262]

Clearwater fl

[@fan1.0]

That's the reason I like to run 0 gauge under the car. I have been waiting to see you guys do a video with multiple amps. My system has 6 amps but it's in a van with the back seat removed.

[@sheldonkennedy6620]

OH MY GOODNESS AMAZING WORKMANSHIP

[@lilturk726]

Amazing work as always

[@nelk5530]

I always thought that that vent you sealed up was to let air out if the air bags go off to save your eardrums.any other thoughts

[@jordanwasley5388]

It could be that too. But it's for letting air out when you shut the door as the pressure inside has nowhere to go besides those vents. Same logic I guess

[@shedboyz21]

Can’t wait for the finally!!

[@bruth6138]

Are you using blown PVC? I switched from 1/4 inch ABS to 1/2 inch blown PVC. The stuff is great to work with but its super soft.

[@jacktudela4182]

They don't call dem 5💫 for nothing. Awesome 👌 professional 👏

[@KhueYang]

How would you you guys run audio capacitors? Would it be smart to run 2/0 gauge wire to allow for better future upgrades?

[@orldmunoz88]

That it no 911 that is a Nightmare On Elm Street

[@jorgearomoz3063]

Great wok as always!! ✌️✌️

[@dwdrum11]

Anyone else feel like they just watched wiring porn? Seriously what a superb job guys. A pleasure to watch. Do you guys make up the rca leads yourselves? They always seem the right length

[@JohnnyFiction989]

Good job 👏

[@PeeKay4Life]

What is the real time for this 911 job ?

[@hellraiserharry]

I'm a beginner installer and I've come here for some inspiration I have a customer who bought some amps that are huge and he got a Mazda rx7 that has a nitrous bottle in the trunk . How I am to fit this in and make it look clean I'm pretty stumped but today I'll figure it out

[@thegreatempire3882]

With removing the read vent and plugging it up with plastic foam and road kill, are you sure it's actually water tight? I had nothing but troubles when the installer did that toy 2017 Ram 1500. The only way for it to stop leaking was to reinstall the vent in the hole

[@enduman]

Gotta use the right sealant/gasket on the face of the cover.

[@thegreatempire3882]

Enduman The issue is trying to instal something to seal it from yhe back of the cab without removing the box. For some reason the back wall of the 4th gen ram trucks has a sandwiched tack weld back wall. If the two halves aren't sealed properly, it leaked.

[@kd7kmp]

Masterfully done, as always!

Dean looked just a little bit happier at the end having finally getting that amp rack done. Totally wrong equipment all the way around. Good job old shop.

[@deepsquat600]

All this coronavirus lockdown stuff is really pissed me off on my vacation I was going to drive from Seattle to Orlando to spend time with my brother and of course the wonderful drive and then I was going to go down to Clearwater and have them install a system into my car but now it doesn't look like that's going to happen unless things really clear up in the next two weeks I'm very disappointed
