Hey! In my last car I was running this same 5 channel amp and had JL C2650s in all four doors and the sub in the rear. It sounded great. For the Bronco I wanted to see what it's like having a dedicated mid-bass speaker since the acoustical environment is a lot different than my little Audi A3...
I agree that it's a bit odd of placement, but I guess because the designers didn't want the cross bar in center of the vehicle like a Wrangler there was nothing else they could do. I don't think the Soundbar aftermarket offering by JBL will be such a wise choice...just my preference...due to it...
Yes, it's similar to a gain control. The 6.5"'s will be in the kick panels and I'm planning on fabricating some pods to hold the 3" mid-bass drivers and the 1" tweeters. The Focal's have a 3-way crossover which allows me to power the front and rear channels with a 5 channel amp. Overall costs...
Planning my build for my Bronco which was supposed to arrive yesterday. Now stuck in limbo :)
Details:
AMP: JL VXI 700/5i DSP, 75w x 4 + 300w x 1
JLDRC-205 control knob (Volume, sub level, and DSP setting to toggle between tuning for doors/roof on and doors/roof off)
SUB: JL TW3v3, 400w max...
Palsapp.com shows my VIN as pending....Wayne, MI shipping location...I'm in PA.
I checked the Module updates website yesterday and I saw some updates. I just checked right now and my VIN no longer works to query updates.
Called my dealer today to check on my 2 door, Black Diamond, Cyber Orange, Mid order. Ford tracker has said it has been in production since 7/23. w no build date, no estimated delivery, etc. Dealer looked in his system and it shows as built w delivery date of 8/2. Good news, obviously.
If you go with a 5 channel amp and a sub it should be plenty of low-end. I had a 5 channel in a Wrangler w 10" and it was amazing sounding w no doors or roof. It was 75wx4 and 300wx1 (sub)
Not trying to complain, it's just a little crazy that they are unable to send people with orders an email saying the dates have changed. The person on the phone said the change happened more than a week ago in their system.
I just called 800-392-3673, zero wait time btw, and found out that my order originally scheduled to be built week of 6/28 is now scheduled to be built week of 20 July. I never received an email about this change. They said that customers are receiving emails at varying days/times and that they...
I received my VIN and build date (6/28) email back on April 22nd. Today I clicked on the View Online link in the email and the Ford website is blank. Previously when I clicked this link my VIN and Order # would pop up along with build date and status. My build is 2 door, Black Diamond, Cyber...
Also this completely kills my idea to use my current JL VXI 700/5i 5 channel amp to replace the whole factory setup, skip the center dash speaker, and put a 10" sub in cargo area.
