2025-26 B&O Audio upgrade - Zen Power-9 F25

[dougcjohn]

Looking through forum, didn't see any Posts on the B&O Upgrade for 2025-26.
The '25-26 are little different than '24-down, requires different wire patches and DSP Amp.
Communicating with NAV-TV, the Zen Power-9 F25 is the option... replacing the MoBridge used with '24 down Models.

I'm not a AV Techie... more Mechanic playing DIY with Audio.
Has anyone explored this option or taken a different path?

This looks like a great option for OEM Speakers (and larger Cage Speakers), or new Speakers.
My goal is to use the larger 6.5 Cage speakers with the Ft 5 speakers and Rear Sub, currently very weak from 6.5 Cage speakers.
I'd also prefer to retain the OEM Look and use of space and not consume additional space with big Sub.
I was also considering doing the OEM Sub upgrade to larger 8"... but that's not vital at current.

I'm not a huge Audio enthusiast, but would like to improve the Bronco's audio for highway.
The Zen Power-9 F25 looks to be the ideal hardware.. but the Non-Audio side of me ponders the investment vs gain.

Sounds interesting, have you purchased and installed this package? You’ve heard the output?

It’s removing the Center Dash speaker and wonder how it does with the rear OEM sub?

This appears to be an amp after the Head unit to speakers? It amplifies the existing signal vs a DSP that changes signal.

I am definitely interested in the NAV-TV Zen Power-9 F25 because it supports 2025 B&O. I could get rid of my crappy PAC Amp Pro and one of my mono amps.

Yeah, I don't believe Mobridge has a A2B DSP product option for the 2025 B&O yet.

NAV-TV Zen Power-9 F25specs look very nice. I am curious what, if any, are the significant difference between the NAV-TV Zen Power-9 F25 and current Mobridge option.

Their communication to me was it was the new improved version of the MoBridge… in multiple ways. Cleaner processing, larger heat sinks, etc.

Correct the MoBridge is not compatible with 25-26 models, and it was discontinued.
This is the replacement.

Gotcha. Not sure how I missed that update.

The Zen Power-9 F25 must be a recently new offering… or not a lot of ‘25-26 Owners wanting to upgrade yet.

I’m normally behind the game on mods or new products… and I’m surprised that no one has commented that they’ve installed or know someone who’s installed.

I’d like to know where it’s mounted… OEM location, under seat, etc. I asked Nav-TV but haven’t gotten a reply on that question yet.

Personally, I’d prefer it all to remain as OEM as possible, not add additional to the storage space of Bronco. Would also like to know if OEM subwoofer can remain in place or be upgraded in size with Power9 installation.

It looks like it installs in the same spot as the factory DSP/Amp and you could keep the factory sub and enclosure or do the smart thing and replace it with a 3d printed enclosure from somewhere like additive car audio for a 10" sub. I bet someone, maybe Joe from plug and play kits will make an easier to use T-Harness to make it easier to connect the speakers and what not. Easy to do for the 25 B&O since all that wiring is in the back at the factory Amp location.

I’m not familiar with the 3D printer panel replacements… that sounds worthwhile!

I’d agree, I held off til 2025 for mine… the few changes have been overall positive… the Audio is specifically one improvement. A few negatives, some where the paint matched side mirrors were dropped, lacking on ‘25. I’ve ordered paint matched Mirrors and Door handles.

Still need to run power up front for Amp, but it has been greatly simplified in ‘25-26.

If you have links on the 3D panels, post them or the associated articles. Those would be handy to have in 1 thread for the 2025 Audio.

I posted a pic of how its mounted over here:
https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/hi-all.69025/page-12#post-2827874

It mounts on the factory box, it is the only aftermarket amp that does this. It is also directly intergrated into the factory a2b bus same as the outgoing K2.
Its the most advanced bronco amp replacement on the market by a country mile.

If you are in Socal some listen to our demo truck!

Good to see, I did search and try to find a Thread on the new Power-9... came up blank.
Your Title on the Post doesn't provide a good indication... should add Power -9 to it.

Before I go to other link, you're stating it mounts in OEM location behind the OEM Sub Panel?
Only the Power cable is needed to be routed to front?

I'll go read through post...

Fraser, questions & recomendations: 2025 BRaptor B&O SubBase and Lux.
I have added the S&S 6.5 Rear Raptor enclosures, everything else OEM.

What is needed & recommended for 2025 B&O: Power-9 F25. Is there a '25+ Install Kit for Wires and such? Mount for Power-9 and your recommended Rear Sub Speaker upgrade. I plan to retain the Ft Dash 3 speakers and Side Kicker for now, but what is recommended for me to plan in following Speaker upgrade... if that's needing to replace the S&S 6.5 that works too . I'd like to retain the 3 Dash speakers.

Here is a link for our 3D printed subwoofer site: https://additivecaraudio.com/

We offer several flavors of subwoofer brand mounting on our site. But we can make almost any 10" shallow-mounted sub work with our patent-pending Bronco sub enclosure. So don't be afraid to ask for custom setups!

Nice products... those look like full boxes using all the cubby space. Can the Power-9 still mount as intended and use your box for larger speaker.

Our box does take up almost all available space behind the panel. This is the beauty of 3D printing: the shape can be almost anything.

We sent an email to Fraser at @mObridge to see if we can get the dimensions of the Power-9, which do not seem to be listed on the site. He hooked us up last time for the mObridge K2. We designed a box around that.

Since it does fit in the stock location like the B&O, I am going to say it will work with our box. But I want to add it to our CAD and make 100% sure.
