Re: 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie Black Edition
Thank you! Worked on a breaker bracket yesterday to mount the 150A breaker next to the battery under the hood. Found two unused bolt locations that could be perfect for this, and right there by the battery. Perfect! Well, if I can find a bolt that works in those spots. Tried a whole mess of them that were gathering dust in the coffee can, but none seemed to be the right thread pattern.

Great job, I have a friend in Ontario who is doing the same year truck. Shared this thread.
Re: 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie Black Edition
Thank you! I hope they bring a build thread over here as well, or if they have any more advice/ideas. Would love to see more installs!!!
Re: 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie Black Edition
Great work. I love your attention to detail. I hack apart factory speakers all the time. They usually have some very useful parts. I have even used them for trim rings.

Oh heck yeah! Especially when they have a nice plastic basket that bolts up perfect.
Thank you for the kind words. Hopefully the rest of the install lives up to the awesome worthiness around here!

Who is this imposter that is posting install pics under Chit’s name?
I kid I kid. Good work Danny. Looking forward to seeing it in May.
Re: 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie Black Edition
Chit, looking good!
I like those NVX baffles you used for the 6x9s. Hmmm...I have a set of 6x9 Fast Rings that I'd like to use. I bought a black 1/2" cutting board to fabricate new baffles. I find the stock locations are too flimsy, and yes, you will have some major rattles to contend with once you put some decent power through them.
I'm planning on doing 1 to 2 layers of butyl deadener on the outer skin, 1 layer on the inner frame, then add some to the door panel to increase weight, followed by some 1/8" CCF to decouple. I doubt I'll need to use any MLV, but do have some on-hand in case.

Can you post up a pic of the location you describe? :)

Yeah they are definitely going to be something I consider from here on out.
Dampening and deadening is going to be fun. Haven't even put real power to them yet, and like you said... wholly moly. Buzzes and rattles everywhere.
Here are some more pics of those NVX baffles:

Absolutely! Sorry for the crude template, but this is just the rough cutout. Will clean it up and paint once wiring begins:
