Hi guys, i need heep with installing after market amps and after market speakers in my 2007 dodge ram 1500 Laramie,i really want to keep the factory deck b/c i have Uconnect and Sat radio. I know that i have to cut into the exisiting wires from the amp. My problem is i can't get to the factory amps, the air box is in the way. i don't know how to remove it. can anyone help me.

Thanks
Jay

 

really need help!

 

Air box? As in AC box? I haven't looked at one, but in my other cars, you need to disconnect the AC system to get it out...

Do you have a shop manual? Go to the part store and thumb through it to make sure it lists removing the AC box. The partstore manuals have really gone down hill.

 

i've tried to look for a manual, but they told me that there isn't any for the 2007or 2006. its the air/ac box it's on the passenger side, behide the glove box. i have it open, but i don't want to mess anything up, b/c there's lots of wire and connections.

 

Next best thing... goto the dealership and ask the service or the parts guys... I'm sure someone there will know...

 

If the amp is in the same place as it is was in my 04, good luck.
Grab yourself a 10mm wratcheting box wrench and prepare to make 1/16th turns with it. It's a slooooooooow (and sharp) process. Your other option is to pull out the air box.

 

Go to hemitruckclub.com and click the download link for the service manual on the left. That should give you all the information you need, plus tons of other stuff.

 

Anyways boyz, i figured that this is just awaste of time, so i went and bought a Pioneer AVIC-D3, and i'm installing in the truck! what do you think? i'm running 2 JL's 250/1 and 300/4, interior speakers are Inifinty Kappa's, and a JL Stealth Box with 1 10w3?
