4th GEN RAM 1500/2500 REAR Door Speaker *Install and Review*

[@turboboy0]

i replaced all 6 speakers too. the front door speakers need to be shallow mount. after the install i was blown away by how much better the music sounded. i used all POWERBASS and have loved them.

[@MotorHead18]

Yeah, I am always in disbelief when I upgrade speakers. It's like every manufacturer goes with lowest bidder lol

[@antoniodavis9848]

11/10/21 i just finished installing my set of JBL GT& 6x9 speakers on all four doors, and i would like to think the poster of this video and his recommendation of the speaker adapter wires my installation went great, yet i was a little scared but i got the job done and very happy .

[@MotorHead18]

Thanks for the shout out!

[@jasonford3]

Thanks for the video. I replaced all my door speakers in my 2019 Ram 2500 after watching your videos and what a difference it made. I have the stock 6 speaker system and I could not believe the sound difference. My 3 1/2" will be in next week. Thanks again.

[@MotorHead18]

Awesome! No problem Jason

[@shook7674]

Just swapped all my speakers out with the same speakers you have. 4 door speakers and 2 dash speakers replaced all with infinity speakers. Sound difference is night and day. Significantly more bass and the clarity is much much better.

[@MotorHead18]

Nice!!!!!!

[@garyquick1719]

Are your 6x9 speakers all the same for front /rear

[@Grizzle400]

What 6x9 did you get? 2 way or 3 way??

Subscribed! Same truck almost. 14 ram 2500 long bed big horn. How’s the bass now? Seems like every time I replace factory speakers the bass is worse. But these stock speakers SUCK in rams

@@jesse6265 yeah, why not?

[@hadbl12]

Have you ever thought about amping the factory speakers??? Would that be something worth trying if you are on a budget.. that way one could spend a little more on subs?

[@MotorHead18]

I wouldn't mind that!

[@OutdoorGearAddiction]

I don't know much but I don't think the paper speakers could handle much amp. Also, from personal experience, great bass with crap mids and high's makes for an overall mediocre sound and system. If you're trying to have better sound on the cheap, I'd do the subs and then quickly save for good miss and high's. Happy bumping!

[@gpw0309]

Did you order everything off Amazon and was the door panel going back on just as easy as it came off?

[@MotorHead18]

Yup everything from Amazon with the links provided in the description. Door panel slipped right on in with no issues

[@donearl6675]

[@loveallbeall2486]

Is it louder (decibels), with deeper base? On scale 1-10 how much difference did you see?

[@MotorHead18]

louder and deeper, yes! It went from a 4 to a 7 in quality

[@robertgiudice5257]

So I’m curious, is this speaker upgrade really so much better than stock? My stock system on my ‘09 1500 sounds fantastic (with the exception of the door panels rattling) so I’m wondering if it’s worth it to do this upgrade vs get some subs

[@MotorHead18]

Get the rear door speakers for mids and subs for some BASS!

[@garyquick1719]

Are your 6x9 speakers the same for front and rear

[@OutdoorGearAddiction]

Crazy crazy good review! I've tried to focus on suspension on my new (to me) truck and enjoy your truck videos and stumbled across this by accident after one of your truck vids and it brought back and reminded me of my love for quality sound! I ordered the dash speakers right after finishing your video. I am saving up for Fox 2.0s for the front and rear of my 15 Ram 2500 6.4L gas truck but plan to buy front and rear door speakers after my Fox's are paid for. My question is this: you bought and highly recommend the 9623 IX 6x9's. What about the 9633 IX's? Do they need an amp or are they too big to fit in the Rams or what? ¹/¹⁶" difference in the 2 models. If they would provide a little better bass in the rear door speakers I'd rather get them but I don't have an amp and am using a touch screen head unit of some kind. I'm guessing the 9633's need an amp so that's why you went with the 23's? (Although crutchfield website didn't specify a minimum wattage for the 33's) Anyway. Love your channel. Thank you for your service.

[@MotorHead18]

6x9s are good to go. Honestly, an amp will maximize your dollar for the speakers, but the upgraded speakers are a significant upgrade. I would run the new speakers first and see if they foot the bill without an amp.

[@shivdass8281]

Oem speaker was 4ohm these were 3 ohms,it that ok. No issues there? Does that do anything?

[@MotorHead18]

Can you have the same speakers in the front and rear ? In your front video you have 2way and in this video you have 3way speakers

[@MotorHead18]

yessir

[@charliesdad5901]

Does the front doors take the same speakers?

[@MotorHead18]

Aron Blaisdell Yes they could! You just need to use the spacer that the speakers come with.

[@paulpopp1999]

Any clearance issues as far as mounting depth, also any issues with reinstalling the door panel over the new speaker? I kno some of the newer speakers sit ah little higher over stock.

[@davido8275]

I installed these the other day and they sound great. Only question is what direction did u have the tweeter facing? I noticed they are on a little slant so if you install with the wire connection facing down, the tweeter faces to the rear. Does this even make a difference?

David O I didn’t pay any attention to it but they didn’t look crazy when I installed them. So I guess it really doesn’t matter. I’m still loving mine!

Sounds more uniform. Still isn't the best due to the lacking head unit, but its definitely better.

I also upgraded my door speakers to my 2012 Ram 1500 but it still lacked louder volume due to the head unit not producing enough juice so I did some research and found the Alpine KTP-445U Power Pack. Its essentially a mini amp that installs behind the stereo and man... it greatly improved the sound on my door speakers. I recommend it.
