Required major surgery and unfortunately doesn't sound any better. The driver that was in there is actually pretty good.
Thanks for the reply, I was hoping you have the kappa - would like to know how they fit 'coz crutchfiled says the kappa does not fit. The top height of kappa is only 1/16 higher than reference.

I put Hertz components in my doors... took the higher range sound from the dash and incorporated them in the doors... my dual 10" RE subs in the back push my bass

really makes for a nice system after that lol

Default Its not that bad

Its only 5-700 extra which is the cost of 1 aftermarket sub and box.
Crank up the bass to 9-its a good sub and can handle it easily plus the door speakers have a low enough crossover that they provide some punch when the bass is cranked.
Move the fader to slightly ``rear``
the vocals are supposed to be coming from the front, it`s called staging.
Imagine if you are in the front row at a concert, would you hear vocals behind you?
The roof speakers are for rear passenger staging

So glad I found this forum. I just got a 2011 Laramie and I thought the front speakers were broken. Maybe they are? I can't hear anything coming out of them. When I move the fader all the way to the front, I only hear audio coming from the dash speaker.

This sucks. DVD surround sound is great - if you're driving from the back seat.

When i bought my 11' recently i was initially bummed out it did not have the 9 speaker system because i was not loving the 6 speaker system at all. However, after buying the Kicker upgrade speakers (all 6) and changing out the head unit plus adding a 40 watt amp and a sub with a 200 watt amp, i am blown away with the sound. I have since heard the factory 9 speaker system on someone elses truck and it certainly has much to be desired.

The Mopar Kicker upgrade speakers are well worth the money and installation is a breeze with absolutely no wires to cut, no spacers, no fitment issues at all. I installed all 6 in well under an hour. They also have a 1 year warranty from any Dodge dealer which makes any issues much less of a headache. The dash gets tweeters with built in crossovers. The front doors get 1 way 6x9's and the rear doors get 2 way 6x9's. I installed the speakers before i replaced the head unit, added the sub or amps. The speakers alone make a world of difference.
