I am with you 100%
to be clear I hate every single offering for non OEM tops thus far in regards to style. Every person thinks they need to put their own dumb creative spin on the visuals.
Make the exact same top, but with good insulation... it genuinely should not be this difficult
The people saying this likely are not electrical engineers.
source; an electrical engineer purposefully put that wire there for the exact purpose of running a light bar.
To be fair - 3 people is not a great sample size and I was using a $50 pair and an $80 pair.
One was rocksford and the other pioneer. I am by no means an audiophile so I could simply be picking trash speakers.
Trying to determine audio difference via video is a tricky thing...
In real life how much of a difference do you feel they made? I have tried two different brands that other users said made a difference. I trialed them with 3 different people and everyone agreed they made zero difference.
they have multiple harnesses - you are going to want to splice into all of them if you use the pre-ran wire as I did.
Each pair of lights for my light bar had a hardness. I had to cut into all of them, wire them all together, create one singular positive and negative cable and then attach that...
Patriot fastbacks today says that they expect their hardtop (the big odd looking one I assume) to be 60% quieter than the ford stock hardtop.
As a soft top owner this piques my interest.
I've successfully mounted by roof lights, drilled the hole into the pre-wired area... attached all that...etc
Does anyone know how to remove the glove box to gain access to the aux wires that are behind it? I know you can press in on the clips to allow it to drop about 4 more inches... but...
Patriot Fastbacks will be offering two hard tops for the bronco - the fastback top which kills cargo space, and then a very large kinda ugly landrover style top.
The landrover one is huge because it has LOTS of sound deadening, and a sunroof.
see the video below and start at around 1:08
I've come here to say that the first one looks the way that it does because they are supposedly VERY quiet inside. It needs to be that thick and ugly to actually keep the sound out
Other folks on this thread are right - the weekly roll-out is straight up juvenile.
Yes, from a marketing perspective it worked. You got as many eyes as possible - however, from this point forward you will be losing folks as you have priced some out. Your captive audience will not get larger...
