I did some looking last night, but it appeared to be mostly posts from a few years back. Curious if there has been any more developments. on my 2020 ram with the 8.4, volume settings above 23/24 do absolutely nothing.
Is this just a built in feature to protect the speakers from themselves. or has anyone figured our what is limiting the volume?

A TSB from Stellantis is out that may fix your issue. It covers a range of problems. Check out TSB 08-234-22.

I tried taking my 22 up to 30. Surprised it actually didn’t blow out / distort as much as I thought it would. Definitely not a level id hit much in thinking.

At 38 on the volume, I should be pumping over 800 watts with little to no distortion. I like to feel my music.

I suffer from a bad case of CHS. Have to keep volume over 20 to hear it half decently.

I wasnt really looking to mess with the ANC system, so after watching a few tub vids on the subject. I picked up a couple kicker speakers for the dash and installed them yesterday. Most of what i read was that i could get less volume due to the resistance difference. however, unless its a placebo effect. it sounds drastically better. louder. clearer. all around improvement. i think the speakers were less than $50 and took 10 minutes to install.
