Soon to start a massive audio project on my RT
I have decided to keep my 2013 RT so I am going to carry the audio to a whole other level. I will be installing JL marine grade amp and speakers. I will be making the brackets next week to mount the speakers pictured. I already have JL components in all my factory speaker locations. Can anyone give me the output of the alternator/generator of the 2013 RT? And at what RPM is it making the optimal output? I know there are people that have done this so any links to simular installs would be appreciated. I'm going to be using the complete bullett housing and removing the air deflectors and making a bracket to mount them down in that location. They look pretty good. And on a workbench these speakers seem to move the earth. So i can't imagine what 2 of the 7.7 mounted cans and 4 components will do. Ill post pics as I work on it.

The 2013 owners manual says 650 watts at 2,000 rpm. The 2013 service manual says 650 watts at 6,000 rpm.

OK. Thanks. I will just add a capacitor and should be good for spikes. I also wont be cranking it full tilt so I will be good. I am trying to add pics to this thread but taptalk says its disabled by the administrator. Ill upload to my server and then link then. I have new Memphis Audio speakers for the factory holes here now. The JL marine audio brackets are on the way now and should be here by Friday.

Looking really really good .... where are you installing the other pair of speakers? or am I seeing both front and rear placement installed? I saw what I imagined might be a couple of subs? in the white? just looking for more explanation... This looks amazing

All I can say is Wow. I see your not afraid to tear the Spyder down and work on it. Someday I hope I can be courageous enough to remove some panels.

I have modified a pair of Harley speaker adapters. This allowed me to use the 6 1/2" speaker in the front. It is a tight fit. And you will have to grind half the adapter away. But it will work.

Woah, very nice on the sub. I'm curious as to how that will sound. Will it be audible when driving...will the be able to take the vibration up there on the frunk?
Very cool project and I'm better it will sound awesome.

The JL Marine M770 White speakers y'all saw in one of the earlier post were not used. I went with the Memphis 6.5" and the Memphis 4" speakers and couldn't be happier. On the downside I now have a set of JL Marine M770 speakers and a set of polished aluminum deck mounting brackets totaling 750.00 that are just sitting in my garage.

Now that you're done with your speakers, come on out and do my Spyder!
I think I'd love some upgraded speakers and amp but would rather have the storage than the ginormous sub-woofer.
Great job!

I am hooking into the front and rear speaker outs. Normally I would have a powered active line level adapter. But here is where the JL (and some others) shine. I can run line level into the RCA inputs and the amp has a input adjustment just for this. I have found the active line level to give me a little clearer sound. But really not enough to justify having another powered device to maintain.

The sub box has two speaker wire spring clips and comes out. The front truck is nearly empty, I still have the 4 speakers running thru the amp.
