This setup is the epitome of "Buy once, cry once". It's expensive, but it's worth it. And I still haven't actually properly tuned mine yet. (It got cold, one of these days when it's not -40 here in Canada I'm going to get Fraser to do a tune with me).

Take the top off. You lose a LOT out that roof at highway speed with no top.

Uploaded that tune file today. For some reason it absolutely killed any midrange response. I messed about with the global EQ a bit to bring it back. A good starting point, but I'm definitely going to have to put some time in to get the whole tune right. Thanks for sending it over!

You'll need an actual amp power cable. There's a spare terminal on the battery to run it from. Then it's just through the grommet in the firewall and under the trim panels to the back. Shouldn't go near the aux switches at all.

Generally any amp worth using will need it's own power wire run from the battery. Fortunately it's easy to do on the bronco.

@mObridge do you have a copy of the file for those speakers?

He did not, but I've been all over the place for work since getting the rest of my stuff installed. I'd love a copy of your file, though, if you could send it over!

The stinger gets nice and low, too. It'll give you a good shake when you turn it up. I'm very happy with it.

I went with Hertz cx100s in the dash, Hertz MP Pro 163.5s in the kick panels, and the SSV pods in the rears with the kicker upgrade. (Along with the stinger tailgate sub). Installing the sound dampener was pretty easy once I had the panels off to run the power wire. It was a couple hour job...

I did all of this, albeit with different speakers. Absolutely worth it. The mobridge amp is an easy install, if you don't want to pay the big $$ to have someone to do it for you. The tuning is..... complex... To say the least. I'm looking into that part now, and the "beginners guide" I...

The little tiny wheels on the non-SAS BB just look awful. Other than that, I agree with everything they said.

Good quality speakers will definitely be an improvement. But the upgrade to the 6.5s in the back is mostly wasted if they're not getting any lower frequencies than the 4" that were originally there.

Yeah, the B&O is a pain in the dick. I ended up going for the mobridge plug and play conversion. It's pricey, but makes the upgrade simple. (And their customer service is excellent). If I could have gotten everything I wanted on the bronco without that B&O garbage, I would have done it in a...

If you don't replace the factory DSP with something, you've wasted a ton of money. The speaker upgrades will sound like shit, because they're going to be EQed for the factory speakers with no way to change it. (ie: you'll be amplifying stuff already crossed over for 4" speakers.) I believe...

Update: Finally have the good amp, and all my speakers installed. Went out to tune today, only to find, for some reason, my Bronco refuses to recognize a WAV file on a usb stick. So that derailed the plans for today. (No idea how to get the pink noise playing through the head unit until I...
