infinity sound system and new kenwood hu

I looked in to it a little more and it seems like it was kind of hit or miss using the integration harnesses. I've done them before and never had the issue of no sound but I saw others who were having the exact same issue and bypassing is the only solution. Worth it in my opinion considering an aftermarket radio and new speakers is a vast improvement on the infinity system anyways. stupid data turn-on...

Yes sir. I am going to see what it sounds like with the stock speakers powered by the Kenwood DDX470. If I absolutely cannot deal with the performance I will upgrade to a 4 channel amp. I already drilled a hole through the would be clutch plate on the firewall, ran the reverse wire from the TIPM and the RCA cable for the reverse camera through. I put a big enough grommet to accommodate for a power lead if needed. I was looking at first to run all Kenwood speakers if I decide, but now I am leading towards the Infinity Kappa series. Plus I would be able to utilize the stock "Infinity" badges on the doors! lol... What are your thoughts about the two or any other?

Just to put an end to this thread. Metra bypass came in today and installed with no issues. Finally the Kenwood DDX470 is up and running after two failed attempts at trying to maintain the factory amp. Even got to keep the RAP intact by tapping accessory off the back of the cigarette lighter. So for anyone else that is trying to bypass a 2007-2008 Dodge Ram with Infinity Sound system.. IT MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE! Cheers!
