2019 - 2023+ Ram Truck Amp and Sub Install

Parts used linked in the description below!
Watch a full tutorial as a 2019 Ram Truck Rebel will have a new amp and sub installed. We will be retaining the factory audio sound system while integrating our new amp and sub under the rear seat.
NOTE: our Ram truck was equipped with ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) which needs to be bypassed in order to add an aftermarket amp / sub to the system. If not, you will get sever feedback and distortion in your new equipment.

[@misaelsanchezmulero6547]

Greetings, I am interested in installing a amplifier that can amplify the six speakers and the sub woofer. Would I have to buy something additional? I appreciate any suggestion.

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Yes, generally a 5 channel amplifier would do, depending on what speaker types you are amplifying. We can assist you more if you send us a message on facebook.

[@johnnypiper1717]

SO with 2020 ram 1500 with basic non amplified or subwoofer. I can jus use the lc2i pro to get my signal for my rca to my aftermarket amp? Seen people always use the pac amp pro in the 5th gen rams but didn't see why I couldn't jus use the lc2i instead of that pac pro. Is that because they have factory amp and sub?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

The amp pro generally is used when the truck is equipped with the factory amplified audio system. Sometimes not, but it's more common when bypass the premium system from the factory.

[@lancegiannelli7737]

Do you need the Blue and Brown wire from the ANC bypass and LOC. I tapped every thing else in

[@stinkysdad]

How did this work out for you?

[@floridaman2.094]

You think the speaker wire from the stock HK subwoofer would be a good line out for RCA hook up?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Yes, if you have the Harmarn Kardon audio system, the cheap way would be to tap into the signal to the factory sub, or alternatively, use the Pac APSUB-CH41 which gives you a perfect signal output from the factory radio for an aftermarket amplifier: ebay.us/zROV2b

[@joet.2078]

It was hard to tell but was this install on a RAM with the Crew Cab or Quad Cab. Trying to get some subwoofer and amp ideas for Quad Cab, but have limited space. Thanks

[@jameslear3671]

I recently installed this harness in my 2020 Ram 1500 Sport when I plugged in the harness the humming went away however my amplifier does not turn off with the truck now .. any suggestions on how to resolve this !! Thanks !

[@justinschafer118]

Did you tapped into the yellow wire on the ANC bypass harness, the amp will stay powered on.

[@sir_psykoo3997]

Do you know if the 12 inch screen has the input for subwoofer?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

99% of factory radios will not have a RCA preout for a subwoofer.

[@luistravieso6399]

What kit would I need for the factory built in with Alipine amp and sub?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

If you have the factory Alpine audio system with OEM sub, your install will differ as you will pull signal from the factory sub instead of a door speaker.

[@scottalarcon5333]

[@JordanPersaud1]

How do you bypass the anc in models with the alpine system?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Alpine system generally doesn't have ANC, but always good to double check. In 2019 + 1500 trucks, it's under the driver front seat, and 2019 + 2500 or 3500 trucks, it's under the driver side dash. If the module isn''t there, then you don't have ANC.

[@Everlastingability]

So what adapter should you use for the harmon kardon sound system?

[@joshuamartinez4650]

I just spliced into the b pillar wires cheaper that buying a adapter

[@bengleckl1877]

My 2019 ram 1500 has a amp under the seat but I can't find a subwoofer. What system do I have?is that the bare minimum system?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

It may not be an amp, it may be the ANC module

[@zellcarl]

this ANC will will work for either the Alpine system or the HK system correct ?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Generally the factory amplified audio system doesn't have ANC.

[@johnfeehrer]

Could you use the same equipment if the truck did have the HK upgraded stereo package?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Yes, but different parts are required. If just an amp / sub install, you'll need either the amp pro by pac, or will have to tap into the OEM sub for signal.

[@AJC-jo3ds]

Why didn’t you pull the rear speakers signal from the black 16 pin from the ANC-CH01 harness instead of opening up the pillar?

[@catofphatness]

He explained it in the video.

[@jeremyschott5782]

So if you wanted to splice into the ANC bypass are the wires color coded the same and is that where you would tie in your line out converter.

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Yep you got it!

[@jeremyschott5782]

How would you wire the remote turn on? Can you wire that to the ANC module somehow?

[@seansean8008]

thank you. i did the same method (using harness from PAC), and use the hi-level input on my Alpine amp- but there is a small issue: after my truck (2023 ram) powers down, about 15 seconds later I get a thump from the sub as the amp powers itself down. it also thumps if i get into the truck and dont start the ignition after several seconds. A time delay issue Im guessing. Any recommendations?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

It may be a high-level input issue. You could try using a line out converter to see if that helps or using the Audio Control LC1i or LC2i Pro.

[@seansean8008]

@@ProvoBeastAudio thank you - i purchased the lc2i pro and will install it after the weekend. Much appreciated !

[@justinschafer118]

@@seansean8008did you ever get your thump issue resolved?

[@seansean8008]

@@justinschafer118 good morning! I did get the issue resolved: using the lc2i helped by lowering the intensity of how much thump came from the sub speaker when the vehicle powered down. It was tolerable but still not ideal since it was still doing it, although much quieter. Had I used the relay switch power-on option for the lc21, and not source input power-on, I think that would have fixed it as well. I ended up going back and using the pac amp pro made for my Dodge radio and used its relay switch option, and that ultimately fixed the issue completely. Definitely a timing issue that needed a relay switch to power the amp on at the right time.

[@stinkysdad]

To use the LOC, in the picture in the video it shows to use the black and yellow wires to connect to the ANC wires which is fine. But then it says to use the white and grey sets to connect to the ANC but there are only 4 usable wires on the LOC, two of which were the black and yellow, and one of which is the blue output to the remote (I’m guessing). Which wires are we supposed to use to tap into the white and grey sets?

[@bulletscat3927]

If i use the ANC and pac install way would running rca next to power wire on driver side cause interference noise rca with power wire

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

ground loop noise is usually from poor quality RCA cables and bad grounds. If you are using quality cables and your ground doesn't have any resistance, you should be fine.

[@bulletscat3927]

Is it better to tap the pac into the front or rear speakers on the harness

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

without putting a RTA on to test, generally id do the front speakers.

[@bulletscat3927]

Ok I just installed my system today and I tapped into the rear speakers of the anc bypass harness do you know if doing that is going to be any difference then tapping in to front speakers

[@germinik]

Where did you get source for the remote wire?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Our amplifier generated that for us via DC offset. If you follow my suggestion on the type of line out converter tapped into the ANC bypass harness stated in the video, then the pac loc will generate your remote turn on wire for you.

It's a high level input cable provided by the Pioneer amplifier. If your amplifier doesn't have a high level input option, use a line out converter.

[@CigarGunToter]

Where did you guys install the pac7?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

We didn't as our amp had a built in LOC. We recommend installing the Pac LP7-2 where you install your ANC bypass harness and just tap into the speaker wire in the ANC harness for signal.

[@Nick-di1gf]

So if you install it this way on the pac lp7-2 you should only be using front speaker wires and the yellow for power and the black for ground ? And don’t need to run the remote blue ? Also on the anc itself only one connection is plugged into it with the bypass harness ?????
