Follow me. I am doingā¦parts starting to arrive today
Sub and amp- fusion amp and kicker 6.75ā sub
Rear pods- Kicker 4ā
Front top speakers- 4ā kickers
Kick panels- leaving alone for now
Forscan- power to he amp and sub, full power to pods, flatten the equalizer
if Iām not doing any soundproofing...
Whatās the exact kicker model # for the 4ā. The crutchfield and Amazon images are different. Does the kicker slip in the pods with no fit modifications necessary? Any wire add on such as the metro harness needed?
Speaker Harness for Metra 72-5510 82-88 Compatible with Ford Speakers Connectors...
If Iām putting in the fusion amp and kicker 6.75 sub, will I see a reasonable improvement simply upgrading the rear pod speakers to the 4ā Kickersā¦and using Forscan to flatten the eq and open full power to the pods?
Is the 4ā kicker upgrade a straight up plug and play easy install? Iām a total...
Iād love to see your Forscan settings. $199 for the Mabett pods makes me nuts! Itās 2 pieces of molded plastic! But, Iāll probably suck it up and go with them and kickersā¦6.75? Any particular model?
So hereās my 1st pass at a planā¦
1. Replace the dummy sub and amp with the fusion amp and 6.75...
Where is the port located in the Bronco? I searched around under dash on the drivers side but couldn't find it. I wasn't about to start ripping plastic to search.
I can do the pods myself. I'm gun shy on messing with opening up the fronts and once I'm into an instlaller I'm into more spend than I want to do right now.
Did your build come with a working sub or did you add a sub and then turned on 7 speaker system? Mine is a '23 Badlands High package shipped with the SDAR (sub deleted). I am going with the fusion amp and the Kickr6.75" sub, and debating whether I should replace the stock 4" pod speakers with a...
LOVING the IAG mudflaps on my Badlands SAS. Those tires throw up a shit ton of debris...even with the rock rails. Saves the car, and they happen to look amazing. It gives the SAS a nice finished look. And they're beefy.
Did you do any of the Dynamat "rattle prevention" stuff? I'm thinking in this straight swap, if there's no rattles now, why would there be any if I'm only swapping out parts with no structural changes? Did you do any rattle or sound dampening stuff?
I haven't been able to find a video walking through the panel removal requirements specific to doing the sub/amp swap. Should I just follow this one, or is there anything better?
Congrats! I imagine the hardest part of the sub install is pulling out the side and floor cargo panels. Any things to look out for in terms of possibly breaking tabs? Also, would you suggest using rubber washers when securing the sub to the enclosure to eliminate possible rattles?
How did you...
Is the fusion amp/Kickr 6.75 an improvement over the stock 7 speaker option? I have an opportunity to buy an available OEM sub/amp, but want the better of the 2 solutions
So what subwoofer choice will fit into the existing speaker box with ZERO modification that will work with the Fusion amp and the Forscan reprogramming? Iām looking for the answer to be based on the experience of an installation that has been completed. Iād like to avoid the ābuy-return-buyā...
