  1. Bronco standard sound system 6 speaker upgrade DIY writeup w/ instructions (dash & kick panel speaker removal) & wiring diagram

    You are correct on the filters having one Hz rating. What I was trying to say is that the range you should use for 4" mids is somewhere is the range of 300 to 600 Hz. Some people go as high as 900 Hz. But in making these decisions, you should also consider the other speakers in use and what...
  2. Bronco standard sound system 6 speaker upgrade DIY writeup w/ instructions (dash & kick panel speaker removal) & wiring diagram

    There are a couple of things to keep in mind with swapping out the speakers. The factory speakers are all 4 ohm. Since the kick panels are in parallel with the dash speakers, they are running at 2 ohms per channel. For most systems, 2 ohms is the minimum resistance required and likely the...

    I could not see how the Metra 72-5600 would work. It is not the correct connector for sure. This one works great. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2021-Ford-Bronco-Speaker-Wire-Harness-Pair-/334316448985?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0
  4. Base Audio Upgrade and Forscan

    I tried this with some 6x9s that I have sitting around and did not get any low frequency response. Someone else posted that setting the 727-01-02 eq to 00 worked for them. Not the case when I tried it. I'm going a completely different route and will leave the rear pods for the highs only, but...

    Bummer! I'm getting mine wrapped in two weeks and trying to keep it in the corral until then.
  6. Base Audio Upgrade and Forscan

    The standard ACM is direct to the speakers (no DSP). The LUX package connect the ACM to a DSP, which feeds the speakers. This is why the ACM mods are so different. Most people are pulling the bass from the front channels, which is key for the sub. I am bent on finding a way to get more sound...

    All of the addresses on the 6-speaker list with JBL that you provided are identical to my as built value without the JBL speaker. Could this "need to get it re-programmed" be a sham so people won't install them at home?

    My sales guy was out, which benefited me as his underling came through right away. I had little faith the my sales guys would put the effort in. We have lost the ability to sign into Oviss, which is where we used to be able to find the rail car numbers. You may try contacting Ford Customer...

    Love it! Is that a flat bed Ford in the background? 😲

    If you are able to track on CSX already, you should be able to continue to track it all of the way regardless of the train company. CSX owned rail pretty much stops just west of the Mississippi river. From there, the rail car is transferred, but is still under contract with CSX. Or at least...

    You did exactly what I did. I knew that you would see the drain hole and understand what to do. I also consider using the drain hole and passing the wire through the cup seal. I'd add that drilling any hole should not be right against the weather strip as that would be an area more likely...

    Through my Union Pacific RR account. I can run yours if you can provide a rail car number AND your train on on UP.
  13. Light bar with drl question

    Assuming that you are asking about the backlight feature, you need to think about it as two separate lights. There is power to the backlight, which you are considering as the "running lights," and there is power to the light bar itself. You simply tap into the running lights power to trigger...

    If you want to use any switch other then Aux 1, you would need to use the wire harness provided. Only the Aux 1 switch is rated for 30A. I flipped the bar so that the wire is on the passenger side (close to the factory wire). I removed the black sheath except for about 6". Once the wires...

    I saw that method too and did not like the way you would end up crushing the wire under the brackets. Nor did I want to put a hole adjacent to the bracket that would be a potential leak point. What I did was poke a small hole in the front edge of the weather strip and push the wire into the...

    Installed the single row light bar from Rough Country to Aux 1 switch. Ford made it a lot easier, but it was still a challenge figuring out how the route the wire from the inside to the outside.

    My thoughts are that the dealer will get on it this week so they can close out the sale before the end of the year. They have been focusing on selling vehicles off the lot for the past two weeks. They won't admit that, but it makes sense as they had nothing to gain. It's end of year crunch...
