Made another video. This time installing the OEM hood liner. While it doesn't seem worth it IMO, it's part of my pointless journey to see how quiet I can make the bronco.
Next will be sound insulating the doors, tailgate and floors. Similar to the video I did on the dynamat/dynaliner roof install.
If you have unlimited budget, the consensus is that https://resonixsoundsolutions.com/reference-information/ is the best you can buy at the moment. I do not, so I’ll be looking into cheaper options when I do the rest of the car.
I’ll post more YouTube videos documenting that process.
If you’re doing true sound deadening, it would go dynamat (cld tiles), dynaliner (decoupling layer), mass loaded vinyl. In my case I skipped the mass loaded vinyl and replaced with factory headliner to maintain OEM look.
Yea probably not for 99% of bronco owners. I'd definitely do it again in a heart beat though and I plan on doing the floor, doors, and tailgate just because why not. I was playing around with the NOISH decibel app today and it's a little tough to get repeatable readings so I should have driven...
I noticed this too. Definitely plan to address this as much as possible when I do the floor. I think lux packages get more default sound deadening from the factory in that spot?
Still debating what materials I'll use. Might go for a cheaper butyl rubber and undecided on mass loaded vinyl...
In my opinion no. Purpose of dynamat and dynaliner is more for vibration and resonance reduction which tend to exist more in the lower frequencies unlike wind noise. If somebody in Minnesota has a stock black diamond hard top though I'd be down to run some decibel measurements to get objective...
Reserving this comment for updates and answers to any questions.
list of materials used:
3 boxes of dynaliner at $58 each: Dynamat 11102 Dynaliner 32" x 54" x 1/4" Thick Self-Adhesive Sound Deadener...
First time posting here. I made a youtube video to document my experience. Took about 2 full weekend days. I'll probably continue with doing the doors, floor and tailgate just to see how quiet I can get the vehicle simply because I'm curious now.
I replaced all 6 speakers in my bronco and was disappointed at the lack or results. Everything certainly got clearer but not up to even medium standards. It got slightly better when I put in bass blockers on the front tweeters.
I don't know how to use these kicker key amps that everybody is...
I'm not familiar with quick disconnect. Can you take pictures of the back of the sub with the wires plugged in? Trying to envision how you have power, ground, and high input/rca going into the sub.
Did you have to grind off any pegs on the back side? Did it come with pre-cut adhesive? I wonder if the black chrome will stick out too much against the black plastic trim of the bronco.
Could you please take a picture of the christmas tree push-pin that your removed next to a ruler? I recently ordered the hood liner from my ford dealership but the push pins were outrageous. They wanted 13 pins * $6 = $78. I declined because I thought I could buy aftermarket christmas trees. Is...
Perfect. This is what I needed to know. I'm a complete novice in the audio arena and this forum has been key to my understanding. I bought both 300 and 600 from amazon so I can try them both and learn from hearing the difference. Thank you.
Amazon lists bass blockers at 150hz at 8 ohms and 300hz at 4ohms. Does this mean that if install these on the 4in speakers in the bronco they will block 600hz at 2 ohms because they're wired in parallel?

Did you happen to get a picture of the push pins? I went to my ford dealership today and bought the hood liner (part # M2DDZ*16738*A) for $105 but it's on back order. He quoted me $6 * 13 push pins which was a whopping $78. I passed on those thinking I could find push pins for cheaper. He did...
