The Key 4 channel is kind of a waste to use on the rear channel. Better to run new wires to the dash and power the kicks and dash separately with that amp. If you follow the 5 Star guys, that's all they use the Key amp for --- it's an easy way to get a fully active front stage tuned in. If you...

That's crazy. A non-squatch Outer Banks 4-door, High Package would have an MSRP between $50-55K. For that much ADM, better to look to dealers outside your area. We see some of this silliness at the Richmond VA Jeep dealers. A few calls to the DC or Tidewater dealers always saved several thousand...

Love that build. The grill painting (color match outside, white inside) is perfect.

As far as the solid axle vs. IFS, life is full of compromises. Rock crawling isn't a big thing in the Southeast, but we get a lot of rain and run muddy trails for much of the year. Bronco gives us a pretty good blend of the better features of the JL and the 4Runner. Since Jeep isn't going IFS...

See if they are around a couple weeks from now.

I thank Ford for assigning the Grinch to schedule my build.

I've noticed that a few members have had audio shops do a full A2B interface (replacing the factory amp) and added a DSP. Here's a couple questions: Did you chose to amplify the center dash and rear channels, or keep them driven from the head unit? What did you replace the L/R dash speakers...

If you don't want to splice wires, Hoel sells the adapters on Amazon and directly (cheaper). Note: Crutchfield doesn't supply these as they are not made yet by their big vendors (like Metra). https://hoelwiring.com/products/ford-bronco-maverick-speaker-harness

The more I read about the "premium" audio system, the less impressed that I am with Ford and Harmon (the B&O name is just a license that Harmon uses). The system has a built in DSP. You shouldn't have to use bass blockers for 4" speakers. The center channel speaker is the same speaker used in...

As you can see from the posts above, the compact class D amps (like the Kicker Key series) can fit in a number of tight spaces. The passenger side cargo trim panel is a favorite place for people who either want a lot of space, or who plan to use the space for a 'stealth' subwoofer.

As far as the tie rod ends breaking, it's been well documented that these happen when people lifted their Broncos to put 37s+. Not sure about the steering rack issues, but lifts/ bigger tires = more stress. The WT/Braptor steering rack should be a factory option for all Badlands and Sasquatch...

Still waiting for a build date on my WT. I only went Lux for the ACC. I am OK with the rims on the WT---I would paint the 'beauty ring' if I had the other 'squatches. The GY tires would not be my first choice. I've already purchased speaker upgrades for the front---Crutchfield scratch 'n dent +...

Has anyone used https://plugnplaykits.com/products/axxess-b-o-a2b-dsp-pkg-w-amp-bypass-harness-ford-2015-up for their A2B interface? I like that it has a built in DSP.

The fiberglass would allow thinner walls and more enclosure space. Another forum member made a box similar to the SRQ box. The irregular shape of the space isn't great for a wooden enclosure ---it's pretty wasteful. As far as moisture goes, both the Stinger and MTI tailgate boxes are MDF, but...

Broncos B4 'Ho's?

A big part of that was making the F150 bigger.

I think you would be better off with the High package. How much an upgraded sound system costs really is dependent on your tastes and how much you want to spend. The dash speakers are really easy to upgrade yourself. Crutchfield can tell you what fits. For some reason, they don't have speaker...

I don't have a build date yet, but I picked up some Hertz "scratch 'n dent" deals from Crutchfield. I went with the same 4" model, but went for the SPL 6.5s for the kicks. I figure that will tide me over until I get the itch to add a sub amp.

I worked for Carmax (briefly) around 15 years ago. Carmax doesn't sit on inventory. Anything too old, too many miles, or not worth fixing to sell is auctioned off. Vehicles that are not moving are systematically reduced in price until they sell. This inventory discipline allows them to borrow...

I'm thinking that a solution (given that I just bought another forum member's 'spare' 4" coax is to add a very small inductor to the positive lead to clip off some of the higher frequencies. Since the shipping is like $10 from parts express, I may just order a couple different frequencies (like...
