That's awesome!! I have C2-650s in the kick panel and they've been great, but damn...those must pound. Did they fit without modification? Assuming you're driving them with a separate amplifier?

The JL C1's tweeters do extend to the point where they will push up on the dash/pod speaker grilles. The Alpines are a fine choice, especially with the B&O. Upper mids/highs are pronounced but not harsh.

I'm in the same boat - I went through a bunch of 4" speakers in the dash and like @GreyCactus, I wasn't happy with the sound but couldn't pinpoint why. It really comes down to the fact that any 4" speaker (with external amplifier or not) is simply trying to do too much up in that dash location...

I think it's worth it, kinda "rounds out" the whole package from a security standpoint. The shock sensor component for me was the missing link from the stock system. If you're handy, you can install yourself - took most folks (myself included) between 30-40 mins to install. FYI this is...

I used this video as a reference for installing speakers to the Metra brackets - it's for the F150 but it applies to the Bronco. He also showed a neat customization to drill additional holes to route the wiring so it's not pinned down by the bracket.

I completely forgot about the front plate location before I went to my dealer (Covert Ford Hutto TX) but they left it off, no questions or hassle. Tossed it in the trunk and got the Built Right custom mount!

That’s a good question. By default, the GS42 holes do not line up with the factory ones. I ended up using a washer to lock one of the sides down (using the screw to go through the factory hole and the washer makes contact with the GS42 hole), and then installed the other side through the...

Honestly, duct taping that to the back of the car will probably sound better than the JBL soundbar :LOL:

Just installed mine - did not take very long; probably 30 mins in total. I found that the hardest part wasn't getting the existing gateway cable out, but getting the new one to plug in securely to the gateway. Probably the first time I've ever said this, but my small hands actually came in...

Absolutely. Butter smooth. Very much worth the steep price!

I'm not hitting limits either. Running Audiofrog GS42/JL C2-650 in front, and Infinity Reference in back (not bi-amp). Volume at 15 is extreme (but clean), and no limiter kicking in. Gains are at zero. I should add that I'm not using the plug/play kit; I had the shop wire it in old-school...

Honestly, one could get by with just swapping the dash and rear pod speakers. I ran that for a while (Alpine S40s in front and Infinity References in back), and the difference was substantial. It's a good option for CASUAL listening. I found that they were still constrained by the head unit's...

I bought a cheap set of of pry tools from Amazon that worked well. I started from front middle and popped each, working towards the center dash and then the back last. I found that using my finger to pop the very last one (in the corner towards the windshield) seemed to work well.

Here's what mine says (got the unit from Ford Accessories site):

Going to try and install mine this weekend. The thread that was posted above is super helpful. Good luck!

I think both (?) can fit - I went with 6.5s in mine and used an adapter to fit.

For sure! The factory 6.5 speakers are designed to deliver the maximum amount of bass with the lowest amount of power. They typically have a crazy-high sensitivity level in order to accomplish this. The issue is that they have their limits - they sound ok at lower volume levels, but as soon...

They sure do, well - at least they have the space. You have to buy the enclosure and install. This guy did it in the thread below. I was originally thinking of doing that, but then went the easy route and did the underseat sub. Still holding out one day for a JL Stealthbox if/when that comes...

Also interested in this - just ordered one and wondering if I can actually do it myself.

They are awesome live - I've seen them a few times in Chicago and then once in Houston; they never disappoint! For the 6.5s, without an amp your bass will drop off to almost non-existent levels. I did the speakers first before adding an amp and a sub, and I spent a few weeks with no bass...
