The only thing that might be worth doing is pushing more power to the kick panels via an amp like that, the only issue is youll still be fighting the factory tuning for those channels.
Not quite a full rip and replace. The 75W RMS for the dash speakers is over kill for sure. 75W into a 4 inch speaker would quite literally be deafening. Real power use for those speakers would likely be 10-20W RMS under loud listening. The only thing I would say is a must upgrade if you were to...
This is actually not the case, we include a harness to grab the signal for the 3 speakers that run off the ACM and run them back to our amp to be powered. We power all speakers off individual channels on our amp. All are fully dsp'able. Our amp is a 9 channel so you actually end up with a spare...
1. Link to install guide: https://mobridge.us/wp-content/uploads/documents/K2/K2_A2B_amplifier_bronco_install_guide.pdf
2. Correct, all factory speaker wiring is maintained.
3. You only need to replace/modify the sub box in the 2 door. If you have a 4 door our amp mounts in the factory location...
I would think so, I cant say for sure. But the stealth box doesn't have as large of a protrusion and will allow you mount our amp on similar mounting holes as the factory which means it should fit. You may just have to drill a hole in our amp to be able to use those mounting holes.
This is true, but youre going to struggle to get amazing out of that factory sub box thats for sure. Port is also tuned for the factory sub and doesnt play nicely with others.
Have you seen the JL stealth box? Its expensive but will get a 10 inch in there.
Yes this too. Its a lot of work to save a plastic 8 inch subwoofer enclosure. If budget allows I highly recommend doing away with the factory enclosure all together.
For the record, It will do 800w Peak 400W RMS into 2 ohm. Still plenty!

OK so thanks to this awesome community, a 2 door Bronco owner near to me offered their car for development.
After 2 full days of investigation what I found was a little disappointing:
Due to the cupholder in the rear quarter panel, it is not possible to mount our amplifier...
Yes it can, it has all DSP features available, including time alignment crossovers EQ points ect.
I doubt you'll need a monoblock, our subchannel will output 400w RMS into 2 ohm. But if you need more, it is there!
We do not have a bass knob, but we do allow the selection of 4 saved tune presets through the factory headunits via the "speed compensated volume" setting. We repurposed this. The tune that comes preloaded on the amp uses these to increase the subwoofer in steps of 3db. This can be fully adjusted
Thanks for the kind words. It is a little beast isnt it. Modern class D is very impressive.
So on the heat front. The D class chips we use are automotive grade and a rated to run up to 120c. They will usually idle around 65-75C. All parts used in the amp are automotive rated and are also rated...
Those channels are bridged internally. So it would see the factory as a 1 ohm. It can drive 1 ohm you will just hit the current limit and you wont get as much power as you will at 2ohm.
Best to drop in a dual 4 ohm VC subwoofer. Or as @brtd simply join the wires together and feed into a single...
This is correct. That being said, a conversion to A2B is not that difficult and @BlarneyStoned is in the process of doing exactly that! You just need to acquire an A2B ACM (ebay), run a few wires and spent some time playing around with forscan.
We actually did exactly this conversion on our...
