I just did this exact thing to my 2020 RAM Bighorn yesterday after watching this last week, and ordering the speakers. I went with Kickers for the 3.5s and rear 6x9s, and MTX for the front doors though, because they do fit, and were less expensive than Infinity. Going from 8ohm factory to 4ohm aftermarket speakers makes a HUGE difference in overall volume and music clarity. The factory base speakers are muddy and terrible. RAM should be ashamed of themselves for shipping a $50k+ truck with .50c speakers. I absolutely LOVE the truck other than the speakers, so I am glad it was an easy fix. Next up will be a small amp and sub I think. Thank you for the tutorial!
I’m sure most people know this already, but I didn’t and learned the hard way. Install one box to the rear and another box to the front. Don’t mix. Bone head move. 🤦🏼♂️ great video. Very informative. I got the same set up and it sounds great. That’s for the Tutorial!!!
Yeah, I was looking at the Focal ICU 690, but the Crutchfield configurator claimed 6 X 9 speakers would not fit in the front doors. After calling them, the rep I spoke with assured me they would fit. In the meantime, I think I'm going with the Hertz UNO X 690 instead of the Focal. Thanks for posting this!
Dude!!! I was very pleased with this video very in depth and you explained every thing I was debating paying someone to upgrade my 19 ram speakers but after watching this I feel very confident in being able to do it myself! Thank you!!!!! 🤘💯
I have a 2020 ram 1500 big horn quad cab. I'm pretty adamant on keeping it stock but after watching your video I'm definitely gonna upgrade the speakers! Thanks for the in-depth tutorial.
Completed my speaker install, at least the tough ones - all 4 doors. 2 dash speakers on hold until the right wiring harness arrives. But I know they're easy bc I already removed them. I installed exactly what so5thgen did; same infinities. NOTE btw - the dash speakers take a different wiring harness than the doors. Imo, for ~$280 and my time, it was well worth it. The improvement, especially in the Highs i.e. the treble/tweeter stuff, was significant. Base seemed similar to me. That's not to say that it was a breeze. I'm handy but I don't do this stuff every day. So it was a little nerve racking ripping the door panels off. I mean you do have to basically get your fingers behind the panel pins and pull and pry. How I didn't break something in 4 doors is a miracle. But, trying to be patient, strong but gentle at the same time, it worked. so5thgen's lead and tips were helpful if nothing else to let me know that it could be diy.
One of the best installation videos I have seen. If you order the 6x9 for the front door, Crutchfield has to manually add the wiring adapters to the cart to get them for free....
Forgot to ask if you had added an accessory under the rear seat??? Noticed something that would hold things under the seat so they would not roll out from under it...
I just did the 4 doors and dash with infinity and I can tell a big difference from the dash speakers and rear speakers, the front speakers are putting lots of bass , should be way better if by pass the factory amp and go external amp! Still pretty good upgrade
Was goin with the speakers you got but crutchfield was sold out so I went with infinity primus 6x9s all 4 doors and kickers for the dash. Did the same thing with the silicone and zip ties. Very clean. Thx again
Here is a link to a well done box I found that fits like a glove under the seats. www.ebay.com/itm/2019-2020-Dodge-Ram-Crew-Cab-Truck-Sub-Box-10-Dual-Ported-Subwoofer-Enclosure/254429496993?hash=item3b3d2e06a1:g:Q2UAAOSwWhxd1x8f
I like the idea of only upgrading the loudspeaker. What is your opinion on adding sound deadening material to the panel? Sometimes more vibration shakes factory harnesses loose and even shutting the door will create a rattle.
I have been looking at doing this almost exactly. But wanted kappa due to having owned the in the past. How do you like the reference? Have you put an amp to them? How do you like the dash upgrade
I only had time to do my dash speakers today and they seem to be popping, do you have any idea why, Same speakers as you, I’m wondering if it’s because I didn’t do the front doors at the same time?
I assume the 5th gens are the same as the 4th, but you'd be better off to buy the cheaper 2 ways for the front doors as most of the mids/highs get sent to the dash speakers and the front door speakers are bass and lower mids only. I got the 2 ways for the front and 3 ways for the rear and the same as you for the dash. Happy with the system overall though I did have to make sure that all my polarities match because they didn't initially and it was a noticeable impact to sound quality. The Rockford Fosgate P300 series all in one subs also make a great addition that's pretty much plug and play with the factory system
Have 2020 1500 and i have the same setup as yours same dash speaker 2 ways front 3 ways rear im very happy day and night difference, sound so good and balanced, i always wonder what would it be if i put 3 ways in the front doors too..
Hey boss, maybe I missed it but Did you run any resistors to the front 3.5's?? I plan on running the Factory 8.4 with the Factory amp or ANC module whatever that stupid this is called. Awesome videos? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
Do you find the highs to be way too much with that many tweeters in the truck? I've seen online people saying 2 in a car is plenty.. Just curious cause I'm looking to upgrade my sound system
I have a 2020 RAM 1500 Laramie with the Alpine 9 speaker system with subwoofer. Sounds good to me, but looking for a project. Should I upgrade anything?
I have the same thing and I will just change the rear door speakers , I belive they don't sound good to me...the dash speakers sound good but that's about it just for now.
With this speaker being a 3 way, was there to much highs with the tweeter? Would a 2 way be better. I have a 19 ram with the alpine system. I have always thought the rear sub was good, but the doors lack good bass!
Have you had any issues since the install? I installed the same speakers all the way around on a 2020 ram and at high volume for extended the time the speakers cut in and out. Possibly overheating of the amp since these are 4ohm speakers and the stock are 2 ohm?
Great video, thanks. After installation did you get some rattling in the door panel due to the bass increase? I've only done the front so far and I don't want the same rattle in the rear. Thanks @so5thgen!
Thanks for the video, really informative. By any chance did the old 6x9s have a wattage rating on them? I’m trying to figure out how much power the factory head unit puts out
Hi thanks for the great video, I have a couple of questions on this project. To avoid using the zip tie on the speaker for the front doors would you recommend using spacers if yes what size spacers ? Did you realize the difference does it really worth it ? any other recommendations feed back will be appreciated
Speakers cutting out! I installed everything that you did and it sounds fantastic until I turn it up to about 30-35 the from speakers cut out! Why! I have the 8” screen Big Horn package. My thought is the 6x9’s are 4ohm factory and t infinities. The 3.5 factory speakers are 8ohm and the infinities are 4ohm. Am I liking these down to 2ohm and there getting hot I guess? Overload on head unit? Anyone else have this problem?
So I did this upgrade today and even thing sounded good until I rolled my windows up and my ANC went crazy. Did you have this problem and if yes how did you fix it?
Is the volume knob at similar level vs stock speakers. You mentioned 20 with stock vs 30 with other speakers. Also the kicker hideaway 10 is a good sub option.
Is the front upper dashboard pre-wired for these 3 1/2” speakers ??? Also, there are 3 speaker openings on the dashboard. What did you do for the Center Speaker ???
Good video but every time the question is asked about the bass output the question is half ass answered or not answered at all, that tells me the bass output is garbage without an amp
The bass output it night and day difference for anyone with a base model stereo. For the factory Alpine speakers it’s comparable but these still provide more bass. These Infinity speakers are still limited by the oem amp. (Meaning there’s more bass potential that can be unlocked by adding. DSR1 and secondary amp). If my truck came factory with HK stereo package I would not be swapping my speakers.
as much as the doors look alike in the 2019 ram 2500 bighorn dont even waste yout time with these, the window track frame is in the way and you cant build the rim out enough,youll have to go out almost 5/8 and the screw holes dont line up .youll need something deep at 2 3/4 most maybe the jbl 6x9 gto
Does the dash speakers cut in and out when you have the volume up past 25? Would you need a small amp to compensate for the power of the tweeters on the new speakers?
Saving this vid for my speaker upgrade. Thanks! My factories top out at vol level 23 (loud with windows up not down). What is your peak (bumping) vol level now?
Nice video brother !! One question it’s everything working fine because my front speakers worked for a day but today when i woke up nothing for the front speakers.. any idea?
With the decibel rating, you're correct to an extent, but I don't think you really understand what that means. The decibel rating on a speaker if what is referred to as the sensitivity of the driver and is given that decibel level based off of 1 watt of power at 1 meter of distance, what is also important to go with this is the speakers RMS power rating. So to give an example of what this means and to know what you can expect from the speaker in a volume aspect is as follows: If your speaker has a sensitivity rating of say 90 DB (decibel) @1w/1m, and the speaker has an RMS rating of say 150 watts, to find the max DB the driver can produce, for every 3 DB, the volume that your ear hears doubles, in order to get 3DB from your speaker then you need to double the power, and you can do this up until you reach the RMS rating of the speaker. So,If you take your 90 DB sensitivity and you double the power going to it, you get 93 DB @ 2 watts. 96 @ 4W, 99 @ 8W, 102 @ 16W, 105 @ 32W, 108 @ 64W, 111 @ 128W. Thats roughly where it would end. Now, being in a vehicle you will get what is called cabin gain so it will actually be louder than that. Because you have the speaker in an enclosure of a sort (aka the door) you will also get a little bit of volume from that. Look at like this, a sub in a sealed enclosure plays at a certain DB, but if you take that sub and put the same sub with the same amount of power into a ported enclosure that was built per the manufacturers recommended dimensions, it will be louder. Thats the effects of enclosure gain. So, now you have a better understanding of what a speakers sensitivity is. Pioneer makes some subwoofers that have 93db sensitivity. There are some other drivers that I have seen and used in custom installs that are also in the 91-95db range. I did a custom 3 way front stage install using drivers I got from a company called parts express and since I bought the drivers individually and not in a set, I didn't have a crossover, which I don't like passive crossovers anyway. Plus the power handling was different for each driver. I ran a 7 in mid bass, 3.5" mid range and a 1.1" tweeter. Then I powered it with a 6 channel amp that had a built in crossover system that allowed me to adjust everything from output level to the high pass, low pass and subsonic filters. You could also do the same thing with an active 3 way eq and a 2 channel amp. It sounded amazing to say the least! Anyway, nice video. Will like and sub. Gonna watch part 2 now.
2019 Ram 2500 basic 6 speaker non alpine system. I just got the same 3.5 infinity dash speakers, Crutchfield sent Two 270 microfarad capacitors, s may need to add a 4ohm resistor to the speakers, I read that they can blow if not used.
2019 Ram 2500 basic 6 speaker non alpine system. I just got the same 3.5 infinity dash speakers, Crutchfield sent Two 270 microfarad capacitors, should I use them? Do I need to add a 4ohm resistor to the speakers, I read that they can blow if not used. any thoughts?
I just put in the 3.5" infinitys in the dash of my 2019 5th gen with the base system the infinitys sound awesome but they are cutting in and out at high volume. Is there something i can do to stop that?
I think the stock headunit/amp can't handle it at higher volumes (It could barely handle stock speakers at high volumes). I think you are just stuck at a lower volume (which is still higher than max stock volume).
Ok, I did this whole upgrade and after about 3 months my front drivers door speaker started cutting out. I took the panel off and took the speaker out to check it out and had water in the speaker. Anyone else experience this issue?
Ok,so, I liked the video and I got the same speakers as shown in your video for my 19 Ram 1500 Big Horn. After installation I hear this vibration and what is sounds to be an exhaust sound throughout the cabin which is very audible. Is this caused because of the active noise cancellation unit or something? If so, how do I disable it? TIA!
@@so5thgen it's the ANC and you need an additional harness to bypass it otherwise it makes a booming sound around 1600 rpms and 3600rpms. I wish I had known because the sound is almost unbearable at the moment.
They sold me 72-6515, I'm thinking this is where the polarity issues are coming from. The 72-6514 looks to be same but opposite polarity. I will update this weekend after I install them.
I got a 5th gen 1500 aswell but I believe my laramie came with 2 in each door wondering if is a 6x9 with a tweet built in or 1 6x9 and 1 tweet . Any one can help a guy out?
I belive thats with old vehicles...usually new vehicles like Ford and ram comes with a pretty good stereo....even better if u have the alpine system...u have an amp.
Crutchfield no longer says that the 71-050 fits the Ram but I read in a forum that it's actually the one you want since it matches the polarity of the stock system. Did you have any issues with ANC after you changed the speakers?
Dawson Templer none at all. Active notice cancellation is built into the head unit. Active Noise Cancellation is best described as the attenuation or reduction of a certain frequency by emitting the same frequency from a loudspeaker, but with the phase inverted. The inverted phase tone essentially cancels out the unwanted noises.
Killerbell 1 the ANC comes from the from the head unit. I want to say it’s using the voice microphones in the roof to produce the feedback. I can assure you nothing fancy was inside the factory paper plate speakers !
I feel like the speakers he put in or more necessary in the rear than the front at least in my Laramie I have nothing but Lowe's coming from my front but my back's have highs and lows
I don’t even own a dodge. But I watched this whole video. Good stuff 👍🏼
Neither does this guy. He's got a ram

Glad to hear! Just remember to add another amp you’ll need the Rockford Fosgate dsr1
Good lookin out man...just bought a Ram and your video was spot on. 6x9s on all doors. Thx.

Never proceeded with an amp sound was adequate enough after the speaker upgrade for me
Well done! I hope it's just as easy for the 19' Laramie Sport!
Awesome video, thank you Sir 🙏🏽Hammered mine out in 1 hour, thanks to your video.
How is the sound
Thank you i placed my order to upgrade my 2021 Ram 1500 5.7
I added the same infinity speakers to my ram. The screws that came with the speakers worked perfectly with the factory clips.
How did it sound?!!

Does silicone really matter if it’s not an enclosure? It’s not like the door panel itself is sealed.
It’s more for added insurance that it won’t rattle
When should bass blockers be used for the dash speakers? When a popping noise is present, with an Amp, or is it just a good idea to use them?
Hello friend, I have a question. How many watts are the speakers that come from the factory? Thank you
I ordered that same setup… will the 5x7’s work in the front doors… if I decided to use them… thanks buddy…
Great video and thank you for sharing. Question did you add an amp before upgrading the speakers? Did they sound great without an amp?
Great video! Gonna buy a couple sets of infinity 6x9s for my 1500!
Have you tried them yet does it sound good how is the base with them
Did you need a Speaker Wiring Adapters for the front dash speakers too??
Yes they were included with purchase from crutchfield
Did you put down the Decibel button on front and rears. I’m going to install mines this weekend.
I only shifted the balance to a tad to the rear I think 2 maybe 3 taps

Make sure you have the door panel snapped back in all the way at the bottom of the door. You shouldn’t have any rattling.
Just had these delivered. Why is there a resistor with it? do I need them???
Thanks for the video, really informative. By any chance did the old 6x9s have a wattage rating on them? I’m trying to figure out how much power the factory head unit puts out
I want to say they did but I’d have to check. Message me on Instagram so I don’t forget to look tomorrow morning
I don’t have Instagram lol. But any info would be great. I want to replace the 3.5 speakers too. Thanks!
Yep, Vaughn Rabbit beat me to it, but yes, the stock speakers are rated for 15 watts.

To avoid using the zip tie on the speaker for the front doors would you recommend using spacers if yes what size spacers ?
Did you realize the difference does it really worth it ?

I’d say it’s very close with the infinity reference speakers. What use to be 20 is now roughly 21-22 on the volume knob setting.
@@so5thgen one more, do you use the + 3db on the tweeter?
So the factory speakers actually have a blue cone and not that cheap black paper. Wonder if thats actually an alpine speaker?
Yes them are alpine
Nice bruh!
Is the front upper dashboard pre-wired for these 3 1/2” speakers ???
Also, there are 3 speaker openings on the dashboard. What did you do for the Center Speaker ???
I would have to look unless someone else has this info
are the Infinity REF-9633ix better than JBL in terms of sound quality/SQ?

Can I use a lc2i or have to be an dsr1 to add a amplifier
Saving this vid for my speaker upgrade. Thanks! My factories top out at vol level 23 (loud with windows up not down). What is your peak (bumping) vol level now?
Wondering the same thing, I hate that my speakers max out at 22 or so and sound like crap.

@@so5thgen same thing with the 2020 I top out at volume level 22... anything higher does absolutely nothing.

Nice video brother !! One question it’s everything working fine because my front speakers worked for a day but today when i woke up nothing for the front speakers.. any idea?
No issues yet did you pinch a wire when screwing the speakers down?
Might cut off, they start working again, after i turn the truck off for 1 minute, then they're all working, but at 36 out 38 volume they cut off.

Look at like this, a sub in a sealed enclosure plays at a certain DB, but if you take that sub and put the same sub with the same amount of power into a ported enclosure that was built per the manufacturers recommended dimensions, it will be louder. Thats the effects of enclosure gain. So, now you have a better understanding of what a speakers sensitivity is. Pioneer makes some subwoofers that have 93db sensitivity. There are some other drivers that I have seen and used in custom installs that are also in the 91-95db range. I did a custom 3 way front stage install using drivers I got from a company called parts express and since I bought the drivers individually and not in a set, I didn't have a crossover, which I don't like passive crossovers anyway. Plus the power handling was different for each driver. I ran a 7 in mid bass, 3.5" mid range and a 1.1" tweeter. Then I powered it with a 6 channel amp that had a built in crossover system that allowed me to adjust everything from output level to the high pass, low pass and subsonic filters. You could also do the same thing with an active 3 way eq and a 2 channel amp. It sounded amazing to say the least! Anyway, nice video. Will like and sub. Gonna watch part 2 now.
Hi,I did same speakers set up. but tweeters are more louder than door speakers. did you got any resistor or capacitor installed?
No resistors or capacitors required
2019 Ram 2500 basic 6 speaker non alpine system.
I just got the same 3.5 infinity dash speakers, Crutchfield sent Two 270 microfarad capacitors, s
may need to add a 4ohm resistor to the speakers, I read that they can blow if not used.

Do I need to add a 4ohm resistor to the speakers, I read that they can blow if not used.
any thoughts?
Was it a major difference you notice when you change the speaker?
100%
How are the bass with these ? Im thinking about getting the 2way Infinity Reference 6x9s for my 2014 ram
Gains 🚀
I just put in the 3.5" infinitys in the dash of my 2019 5th gen with the base system the infinitys sound awesome but they are cutting in and out at high volume. Is there something i can do to stop that?
I think the stock headunit/amp can't handle it at higher volumes (It could barely handle stock speakers at high volumes). I think you are just stuck at a lower volume (which is still higher than max stock volume).
Did it improve the bass at all?
I did the rear 9633ix and yes it did a good bit
Ryon Holt yes! Can’t wait to add the amp and have even more tho!
Ok, I did this whole upgrade and after about 3 months my front drivers door speaker started cutting out. I took the panel off and took the speaker out to check it out and had water in the speaker. Anyone else experience this issue?
Are your windows tinted?
NICE VIDE
Excellent video!
I was wondering if you had any issues pertaining to the polarity like others have mentioned?
Did you ever find out?
Ok,so, I liked the video and I got the same speakers as shown in your video for my 19 Ram 1500 Big Horn. After installation I hear this vibration and what is sounds to be an exhaust sound throughout the cabin which is very audible. Is this caused because of the active noise cancellation unit or something? If so, how do I disable it? TIA!
Check the speaker polarity, Crutchfield has 2 different speaker harness adapters.
@@so5thgen it's the ANC and you need an additional harness to bypass it otherwise it makes a booming sound around 1600 rpms and 3600rpms. I wish I had known because the sound is almost unbearable at the moment.
so are these Infinitys better than the alpine my longhorn comes with?
They might rate better but for the small of a noticeable change I would not swap from your alpines
@@so5thgen good to know thanks
Out of curiosity what brand does Ram use for their stock 6 speaker set up?
Depends what model you have but the oem speakers without Harmon Kardon are paper
2019 Ram Rebel level 2. With the 6 speaker system
curious did you push the +3 decibel button on the fronts ?? i seen you did on rears but no mention of front ??
you do know that the factory sub goes behind then rear seat not under it.
Behind
Dude by you some panel tools
I have them now! You can see them in the newer videos
Did you upgrade your amp , looking to upgrade ! Good video !!
Crutchfield is saying the 71-050 metra does not fit my 2019 Ram 1500 Big Horn is that a mistake?
They sold me 72-6515, I'm thinking this is where the polarity issues are coming from. The 72-6514 looks to be same but opposite polarity. I will update this weekend after I install them.
Rodney Saye I have both coming, I wanted to be safe than sorry lol.
Any update on this guys?
I got a 5th gen 1500 aswell but I believe my laramie came with 2 in each door wondering if is a 6x9 with a tweet built in or 1 6x9 and 1 tweet . Any one can help a guy out?
I have the 9 speaker Alpine in mine with the 10” sub, want to upgrade sub also, any recommendations on what sub?
FisherJames Fish On!!! I’ll be going with a alpine or infinity sub not 💯
Doing 2 10 in sundown audio v2 in my 2019 as we speak
My buddy says these will sound bad without extra power from an amp? Anyone tested these an have a differing opinion?
I’d hang with new people if that’s the kinda advice they’re throwing out
I belive thats with old vehicles...usually new vehicles like Ford and ram comes with a pretty good stereo....even better if u have the alpine system...u have an amp.
Crutchfield no longer says that the 71-050 fits the Ram but I read in a forum that it's actually the one you want since it matches the polarity of the stock system. Did you have any issues with ANC after you changed the speakers?
No issues with ANC
@@so5thgen do you need spacers? I dont want the speaker to be hitting the glass when it rolls down
did you put a bass blocker in for the dash speakers?
Bull I did not ? Have any insight on it though?
You don't need it if you have the Alpine or HK systems. Only the base 6 speakers system have full range on all 6 speakers.
Is it possible to just pop out the cover and install the speaker without removing whole door panel like in other vehicles?
Not all all
Didn't you lose a ton of volume going to a 4 ohm speaker versus stock 2 ohm?
Hey are u gonna upgrade the 2 upper speakers in the ceiling?
I read somewhere, you have to take the headliner down...so it's not recommended.
I believe mine has 9 speakers
I was told that the polarity of the factory speaker wires were reversed on the 5th gen Rams. Is there anyway you can confirm this?
I went with a lot of faith in the wiring harness adapter. Still no issues with my setup.
Does this have any effect on the active noice cancellation ?
Dawson Templer none at all. Active notice cancellation is built into the head unit. Active Noise Cancellation is best described as the attenuation or reduction of a certain frequency by emitting the same frequency from a loudspeaker, but with the phase inverted. The inverted phase tone essentially cancels out the unwanted noises.
So you left the factory phases?
Killerbell 1 the ANC comes from the from the head unit. I want to say it’s using the voice microphones in the roof to produce the feedback. I can assure you nothing fancy was inside the factory paper plate speakers !
What about the center speaker in the dash ?
@@dawsontempler336 there isn't one on the base 6 speaker. Grill is there but no speaker or even speaker wiring
Is this the upgraded Alpine 10 speaker or the base 6 speaker system?
Orbeli Gutierrez base but same applies to alpine stereo.
😍😍👍!
Are the rears really that important to upgrade?
Paul Lafleur depends what you’re looking for! I’ll up doing part 2 where I complete my install with the rears.
I feel like the speakers he put in or more necessary in the rear than the front at least in my Laramie I have nothing but Lowe's coming from my front but my back's have highs and lows
But the stock speakers sound amazing
How much did you pay for them? And how do they sound in comparison with stock
