  1. Moving Up in the World

    By the way, more often than not, customer-installed, non-OE, non dealer-installed upgrades add no trade-in or resale value to vehicles. For reputable dealers, that's sketchy, gray area. If that was the Warn winch package purchased out of the Ford Performance catalog and installed by a Ford...
  2. Moving Up in the World

    IMO, the history isn't that odd. My first Bronco was an Everglades. Owned it free and clear, and traded it in towards a Wildtrak. At the time of trade-in, it had just over 5K miles. If anyone looked at the service records, it would indicate that it was in for alignment twice while I owned it...
  3. Factory B&O Audio Signal and Max Volume

    How do you like Audison's DSP software compared to AudioControl? After downloading and running simulations on JL Audio, Audison, AudioTec (Helix), and a few others, the most difficult was JL Audio, and the easiest was AudioControl, which is why I went with their amplifiers. Audison was doable...
  4. Factory B&O Audio Signal and Max Volume

    No microphone? The electrical signal compared to the acoustical signal are worlds apart in Bronco's. I use a newer version of AudioControl's SA-4100i for RTA tuning. Since you're proficient using the DM-RTA, I'm surprised you're not using AudioControl D-series amplifiers. I'm also...
  5. Big Brake Upgrade Kit?

    The maintenance costs for Brembo brakes is just awful.
  6. Looking into Portals what do people think?

    In my experience, anyone who starts a sentence with, "I have a Wildtrak with the Sasquatch package..."
  7. All things Kicker Amps and Audio Electronic and Impacting Sound Quality

    No, do not turn the EQ back on, ever. Leave it at 00. As far as the Forscan tweeter / speaker settings, there's no tangible or audible difference between them. It's a rabbits hole from which there is no return. For best auto-tune results: 1. Set the factory EQ settings flat. 2. Play pink...
  8. All things Kicker Amps and Audio Electronic and Impacting Sound Quality

    You guys really need to stop installing coaxial speakers in the kick panels. The ACM sends low range frequency signals (primarily bass) to the kick panels, which is why the vocals are so muffled, and completely inaudible when you install coaxial speakers there. Instead, install midbass...
  9. California Kicker Key 200.4 & Key 500.1 - $150 Shipped

    I have a 200.4 and 500.1 available, which include the original boxes, accessories, paperwork, etc. Both were used for about 1,000 miles, then replaced with DSP amplifiers. These were basically place-holders. The Key 500.1 is sold. The Key 200.4 is available. $150 (FIRM) shipped each via...
  10. 2025 Badlands Bronco will have Fox 2.5 inch live valve shocks (per Ford at NORRA Mexican 1000 race)

    Can't wait for all the "what's the best way to lift, level, or change the springs on my live valve shocks, and how will it affect my ride quality" threads. :rolleyes:
  11. Dream stereo system upgrade build in Bronco Raptor

    LOL. Stellar audio build. Your K2 components are nothing short of amazing.
  12. Dream stereo system upgrade build in Bronco Raptor

    In my experience, it is more feel than a measurable reduction in ambient sound when in motion, and measuring decibels while in motion is part of the problem. The biggest offender in ambient sound is road and engine noise penetrating the firewall, the modular roof, and lack of aerodynamics...
  13. Dream stereo system upgrade build in Bronco Raptor

    Similar for my Wildtrak, but I went with Focal Flax EVO 3-Way components, Flax EVO coaxial speakers in the rear, a JL Stealthbox, and AudioControl amplifiers because I have a much better understanding of how to use their DSP software. Completed the installation myself. No B&O system to defeat...
  14. 93 OCTANE S 87 OCTANE AND RESULTS?

    I've only ever used Costco 91 Octane. The only thing that will come from 87 is less power, and less MPG.
