Yeah I'm out, can you finish my Dodge Ram install Installer Diaries 77

On todays show we finish the install in Dodge Ram. The customer started the install then decided he did not want to finish. He brought the stereo to us and we finished up for him and got it sounding great. We hope you enjoy.

Just finished installing the double din metra bezel and got my harness together. Backup cam is tomorrow and I’m SO pumped I came across this video and hope I have that reverse signal in my A pillar! Great clean install.

[@VonSpud]

You guys do slick and professional work...great to watch!

[@jeffreylujan4398]

Been watching all the videos. Before i had kids I had a 1000 watt amp, separates in the front, preamp, 6x9s in back, 2 12in box in back of a Toyota SR5. loved it. Had kids. Now I'm stock. Dream of my old set up. I see your videos and I'm jealous. I'm a teacher and that doesn't leave a lot for a sound system. Well done boys. Love the channel.

[@BigDaddyThrock]

You saved me a ton of time with locating the reverse wire. Thank you 🙏

[@Kylethemestupfile]

Slowly but surely working on an 05 SRT10 Ram with the same setup this week. Really glad I watched this video cause it made me totally re-think the way I was running the amp bypass harness. Appreciate you guys and the work you do!

[@SinSGone]

Man, of course you guys do this after I completed my Ram install. All your other videos were helpful, but this one is gold!

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Sorry, thank you

[@ADR69]

Wonder why they didn't complete the install? He had a bit of it done and it looked 100x cleaner than stuff most customers bring me to fix. Nice video and thanks for the reverse signal harness idea

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

No clue did not get to talk to the customer.

[@TigerRagFishingTeam]

Thanks for the tip on the white with green stripe for the reverse wire!

[@johnsmith-qz4bv]

great work guys

[@RcBasher5000]

The last couple days I've been benge watching the videos I enjoy your content alot you guys are awesome

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Wow! Very cool thanks

[@kimsac1]

Great job 👍

[@automotiveguru6961]

I have a 99 Ram 1500 and that grommet thingy is a pain to get to in my year model. Did my first ever install by myself and looking to upgrade a few things myself you guys always inspire me to new ideas! Even getting me into being an installer one day! Nice work. -Corey F.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Very cool thanks

[@charles-ih7zp]

I don’t let anyone touch my vehicle but this shop does a good job I would let them install my system.

[@XxDylanRockzxX]

You guys do such great, clean work. I'd love to make a trip out to Florida to have an install done by you guys. I live in California but am doing a road trip to Texas, Mississippi, and Florida so it's good timing lol. i'll hit you guys up on facebook!

[@lazerlinec1770]

I’d love if at the end of your videos you give us a quick opinion on the products you just installed like how did that amp sound how did the sub sound did you like them etc I’d just like to know after all your hard work and me watching all that hard work how it sounded ;)

[@mr.bigs7652]

Lol wen u were tuning the amp at the end. U turned up the gain instead of the bass boost at 12 oclock like u said. Did u notice that dean

[@KINGKJ2REAL]

Thinking about bringing my next mustang gt here i usually do all my installs my self but i want this one professionally done i want t beautiful

[@sickjohnson]

Awesome guys! Did I blink and miss the sub box though?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Yes it was a 1 sub under the seat Ram box with a Comp Rt

[@combsy02]

Ok guys, solid job on this video! I’m looking for a little clarity as I attempt to finish this project myself. I’m using the factory speakers and sub in my srt-10, I bought the GX-3800/20 with wireless backup camera from Stinger. I called and correct the listing on this package because my model does need the amp bypass wiring harness. Stinger sent me the BHA6510 which I am trying to run now. Here are my questions. The point of this is to no longer use the amp located behind the dash, correct? If the above question is yes, then the non plug end of the BHA6510 wires directly into the new harness for the GX-3800/20 right? I noticed another factory amp under the seat which I assume powers the sub. Do you have any diagram that explains which factory color wires the BHA6510 wires up to? Sorry for the long rookie type question, but I’m too far to travel to you guys and nearly complete with this install. (Radio and everything powers on, just no audio hints the amp bypass).

[@watchmenone1]

I never see where you ground the wire into the car

[@_nava_323_]

Hi i have a quick question, would it make a difference if i have the rear view mirror with the wires ?? Also what kind of capacitors did you use for the dash speakers ?? Thanks I've been hooked on your vids 😂😂👍👍

[@goblinphreak2132]

Honestly? Blue butt connections is the crutchfield special. They offer to do to it for you and looks exactly like the bundle in this video. I would never. Solder and shrinkwrap will forever be king.

[@trudeaumustgo1920]

What do you guys do to run wires into the door panels when the doors use molex connectors on the rubber boots

[@MichelfrancisBustillos]

I know this is an old video but hoping to find out what app and attachment your using to test the speakers.

[@kevinmoorhead6734]

So when not installing a after market amp where do you run the wires former the head unit

[@derekmoore6467]

I have a 2004 dodge ram with infinity system. My driver side door speakers quit working but passenger and dash speakers still work and I’m using the factory radio. What could be the problem

[@joshcastrillo733]

Are you running a sub off the same amp you’re using for the door speakers?

[@edwardautrey3671]

Looks like Dean is better mood

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Haha, good days and ok days

[@mattclarke1937]

I have a 04 ram with the infinity system. so according to this video I ran my reverse camera wire out of the cab for no reason?

[@mpulford311]

Once again fellas another home run. I love watching your videos so many different ideas you have for every install you do. I love car audio. Also whoever have you a thumbs down should be kicked in the balls. Lol

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Thank you and couldn’t agree more

[@georgecampos7119]

Any idea the voltage of capacitor?

[@CASPER63074]

Hi can you guys make video for a Dodge charger SXT with factory amplifier

[@sronicker]

What Metra kit number is that? A buddy and I are trying a smaller install (just replacing the radio). I got the Metra 70-6510 power amp bypass harness and it’s not working. The plugs don’t match.

[@panchopistolas2509]

Where can I get a t harness or any type of harness to bypass factory amp in 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with factory sub

[@tatialo37]

My car is not finished either! Been for five years!!!

[@user-vh4tc9mv1t]

Is there 2004 ram installation? With amp?

[@ldproc0]

Great work. Clean AF. How many amps do you feel comfortable powering on from the amp turn on from the HU?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Usually 2, anything after that I add a relay

[@ldproc0]

Perfect. Thanks a lot!

[@joshuamercier1442]

the 3.5 tweaters speakers i have seem to have a 50V 4.7UF cap already on back in line with + do i still need to install a bass blocker cap in line

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Yes that is for the tweeter only, you want a 47.

[@penny12]

what are the caps values?

[@mitchellroberts7954]

Just curious, do you guys ever use an oscilloscope for setting midrange amp gains? Or all ear? I generally do 0db test tones in the middle of whatever the filters are set to, i.e. 1khz for mids, 5khz for tweeters and then look for clipping on a scope. Do you find it possible to hear clipping in midrange speakers and tweeters, or do you just listen for distortion?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

We like to use the DD1 for most things. We have a scope but don’t use it much anymore. Yes you can train yourself to hear when it clips. Your ears are an installers best tool.

[@2nsane2005]

Dean, so the yellow wires on the harness are for the dash speakers?? Dang I have the exact same amp bypass wiring harness and was told I wouldn't be able to keep my dash speakers. Also, Did the customer have aftermarket speakers in the doors or are they factory infinity speakers? I want to know can you amplify the factory speakers with an aftermarket amp? I bypassed my infinity amp and actually took it out too. Thanks for the video

[@CB-tx3ul]

The customer had already replaced his speakers

[@2nsane2005]

ah ok

[@shawnconnolly5525]

RollinCoalRowling he said the customer changed the front door speakers and plans on changing the rear ones sometime soon 🤔🤔🤔or did we watch 2 different videos 🤣😂

[@chuckywrld171]

What year is this ram

[@imranbaksh672]

Hey I been watch u guys video and I learn a lot but I have one question I have a 2017 maxima with the boss sound system what harness do I use to bypass the amp and get to all the speakers in thin this video

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Unfortunately they don’t list a part to do that last me in this truck. Most of the time we just go though our harness and hope we have something

[@alfredoibarra9825]

What size capacitor did you use? I Did an an install on a similar dodge but did not amplify 3,5" figured aftermarket deck wouldn't cause an issue.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

We use 47mf caps even with deck power.

[@bonezgarageandmore4584]

What solder do you guys use for wires? Is solder Flux necessary to use in speaker wiring?

[@24BLUEELMO]

Eddie Bonilla flux helps it stick better. For electrical is 60/40 rosin core

[@mfrancis706]

Hi guys great videos, I'm having difficulty finding a 12 volt trigger in the boot of a 2016 4 series bmw, to turn on the amp I wish to instal. Have you worked on these cars and found a place you can tap of?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

We use a PAC lp7-2 for that. It uses signal sense to create a remote turn on for the amp.

[@mfrancis706]

Thanks for the reply guys.Yes, I was going to use a Audio Control LC2I to do that job but I was told I may get issues with the signal sensing switching off, because I would be tapping of the under seat sub which sometimes does not move to create signal sensing. Have you ever come across this issue guys???

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Never had that issue. Check out this video How to bypass fake motor noise in a BMWkzbin.info/www/bejne/jpPXdpSBg72Yoq8

Didn't set the amp to cliping

Hello guys,question.2011 ram 1500 St crewcab, no premium sound My factory amp stop working. radio is on but no sound. I want to install an after market stereo and run the wires speakers straight from stereo to the speakers. But I don't know where is the amp location, any idea wheres is?? Thank u

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Check next to your steering wheel on the left. It should be up there some were

[@atomiccheerio3349]

If it doesn't have the alpine factory system, there is no amp. If you got 3 speakers in dash, and 2 in headliner, you got the alpine with amp. If not, head unit is screwed.

1983 Chevrolet Impala Sedan (box chevy) Kenwood KDC-BR568U single din bluetooth cd player with built in crossover. 2) Clarion 30 watt rms 4x6 3-way dash speakers 2) Clarion 100 watt rms 6x9 5-way rear deck speakers 2) Clarion 300 watt rms 12" single voice coil subwoofer 1) Pioneer GM-D9605 5-channel amplifier I am considering adding 2 more 5-way 6x9's. Is it a way to wire all 4 6x9's into the rear channel of the amplifier, and maintain a 4-ohm load. I am trying to keep a single amp system, while slightly increasing my vocals & midrange levels. Also, would adding a Clarion EQS755 7-band graphic equalizer / crossover be a beneficial addition to my setup, or would it be "fighting" with the Kenwood's built-in crossover? Any advice you guys could offer would be greatly appreciated. I respect your knowledge, and love the work you do.

[@jameselam8263]

stillrumone Speakers up front would improve your sound stage, and you can run that amp at 2 ohms, but I recommend a second amp because even at 2 ohms each speaker would get less power than what it needs. That's just my 2 cents worth I hope it helps!

[@stillrumone]

Jim, Thanks for the advice. I figured I would get decrease in volume to each 6x9, by adding 2 more on the same channel. But I was hoping that it would add a tad bit more overall volume, while maintaining my single amp setup. I stared into my trunk for about 30 minutes yesterday, considering dual amp positions. And a dual amp reconfiguration just might be in the works.

[@TBONESIDEOFLIFE]

call it a WIN, WIN! think about.🤔😃

[@stevenm.hollis4429]

So, I have a 2006 dodge ram 2500 mega cab. With the Infiniti Soundsystem and it to has an amplifier underneath or behind the glove compartment. Would you recommend removing that completely when installing an aftermarket head unit. And installing a new amplifier? Also, I understand that you put in bass resistors in the two 3” dash speakers. Would you still do that as well? They definitely don’t wanna blow those with too much bass. I know this is late to the game but I’ve come to the realization that I have to get rid of that Uconnect Chrysler stereo. It shorted out anyway. Thanks Guys I appreciate it

That is one hell of a system i hv the exact same truck im wanting to do this too im not gonna name names but I was quoted over 2k for a full kicker system that's is way out if my budget . Dose this price sound correct.?

[@rxtuninginc8444]

Buy one piece at a time. Buy headunit, front speakers, rear speakers, amp, sub etc. Once you have everything then install it or have someone do it for you. I have always built my systems this way. I wait until things go on sale and do all my research as to what will work and sound best for the money and make sure all the components work well together (like the amp can supply the right amount of power, can handle the ohm load that you will be using etc.

[@rxtuninginc8444]

2 grand could very well be in the ballpark. Headunit $300 Front speakers $150 Rear speakers $150 Sub $200 Box $150 (truck boxes are more than standard trunk boxes) Amp $300 Wiring/RCAs/Fuses etc $200 Plus labor to install. I've done complete systems for around $1000 but requires being patient and waiting for sales or when the new model comes out the outgoing one is heavily discounted so they get rid of them. At full price it would have cost me double that.

[@juggsforlife1]

for amp to sub level you should ALWAYS use the E=PxR ( P x R square root ) @ 50-60Hz test tone! fidgeting by ear is a 9/10 poor quality option not only because everybody has different hearing or hearing impairments that could cause some one to do the old school kicker fan boy move and max out the amp gain, but other equations also include RMS/V=A cause most of the time your alternator or factory power will not have the proper power for the amp. why this guy does NOT show you these important things ( if you wanna be loud and sound clean ) you should consider these things. its not just a plug and play type of thing or a turn this and hope you dont break that kinda thing. sure there are SMD tools but even though you have all green lights does NOT mean that the amp or sub is supplied correctly power wise , this can lead to blown subs or fuses blowing and the most annoying thing all car audio guys ( including myself ) hate seeing and trying to fix on your or their amp is the protect mode issue ( sick of fixing these problems in peoples set up because well ... they lack research ). i would like to see a video from this guy showing the PROPER way to set and match gains and RMS from amp to speaker / subs. #FORMULA #SLAMOLOGY #DOYOUEVENSPL #GOT160S
