30 days. It sat at rail head for 10 days Later RJD

Dang, ok. Thanks.

Put it in surround sound its alot better

Pro Tip: Max out the bass, mid and treble and it gets noticeable louder. And it doesn't sound crappy like some systems when you do this.

May have to try this. Later RJD

Sounds like I may have been OK with the 9 speaker system, I drove one with it but did not "Give it the beans" with the wife in the car. I did give the engine the beans though!!

I like the optional Alpine system, find it engaging with very good sound quality. Definitely bests the Mark Levinson system in my 2022 Lexus GX4660, which has a tendency to eat speakers for no good reason. Was hoping Klipsch system would've be available. As long as engineering of Klipsch system runs through Hope, Arkansas pretty much guaranteed to be great.

I usually do treble and bass around 6-8 + and mid negative 4. This gets the best sound in most of the Jeep/Dodge vehicles I’ve had including the base audio system in the scat pack.

I actually bought a Bludicrous base scat pack with a standard stereo system in it and I thought it was decent. I ended up trading that car back two weeks later for another Bludicrous Scat pack plus with all the toys and the one on the lot had the upgraded stereo system for $1700. What a joke. I thought I’d be thumping away and blasting the volume but just to get decent sound. I have the volume cranked up between 3/4 and almost full volume. Really disappointed with the system and definitely not worth the money. My 2009 Challenger RT with the upgraded stereo and level two sound system upgrade with only 368 Watts blows this new charger stereo out of the water. There’s no way it has 900 Watts as advertised.

And I thought I traded cars in too soon . I hope they didn’t bend you over too much on those transactions.

If you’re using Apple CarPlay, check mine and the other EQ posts above. Also Apple has a “Sound Check” setting that might be restricting the output to “safe volume“. I’d try turning that off. I don’t know if Android has something similar.


Sound Check is an iPhone audio feature that normalizes the volume of your music. Here’s what it does:

What it does: It analyzes the volume levels of songs in your library and automatically adjusts playback so all tracks play at roughly the same perceived loudness.

Why it’s useful: Without it, you might have some songs that are much louder or quieter than others, forcing you to constantly adjust the volume as you listen.

Where to find it: Settings → Music → Sound Check (toggle it on).

It works with Apple Music and your local library. Note that it doesn’t change the actual audio files — it just adjusts playback volume on the fly.

I'm surprise your car has not showed up. I Ordered mine the 3rd of March and picked up on April 29 just under 8 weeks. Later RJD

It's now about two and a half months, and still no word as to its arrival!

What phase are you at? Mine was one month from order to build. I'm awaiting shipping.

Thanks for that info, I hadn't heard of sound check but looked and mine was turned off. As far as the trade in, no they were fair with me thank goodness.

The last info I received from my Sales manager about two weeks ago was in was in "F" (Paint), and then that part of the dealer's system crashed. I'll be checking with them again today to hear if it's back up again.

 

[aceinspp59]

Are you not getting an e-mail from dodge to let you know the progress? Something like this. Later RJD
