I had swapped out to Infinity Reference 4" speakers in the dash and rear pods prior to this upgrade. They perform really well but should be dialed back when tuning the amp as they're really bright. One of these weeks I'll post the tuning steps. It's an easy process but requires an hour or so...

Very cool story, and Bluey is the greatest thing on television.

I'm also a huge proponent of @mObridge and their amp solution for the B&O system. It's capable of so much more than I outlined in my thread: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/mobridge-b-o-stereo-upgrade-installation-video.110747/ You'll definitely want to plug the port on the factory...

I'm running a Hollywood Racks Destination 4-bike rack with an 8" extension and it fits perfectly and is plenty stable with 4 bikes mounted. Very happy with this setup. Solid, stable, doesn't weigh a ton, folds up if/when I want it to, and didn't break the bank.

Trying to make "fetch" happen.

A pretty niche thing but I made a subwoofer box port block as well as a cap for the area that gets trimmed to fit the Kicker 8" speaker. It was part of my recent stereo upgrade. My first attempt at design and I figured I'd make it available for others tackling the same project...

Mazda Red has always been the best red. A modern Mazda 3 hatchback in that red is just art. As for car colors in general, we didn't know how good we had it back in the 90s when cars came in nail polish colors. Even the basic colors had some pop to them. I had a 1995 Thunderbird in "Electric...

Those are some really nice adapter plates!

If you have a printer you can download a port blocker from Maker World. Granted I'm running an amp, but the bass is tight and doesn't drop off at random frequencies. (measured the spectrum with a UMIK-1 microphone)

Did you block the port on the factory subwoofer box when you replaced the subwoofer? It makes a huge difference as the ported box is tuned for the factory speaker and not the aftermarket one.

It was different when the keypads were built into the vehicle from the factory. The current ones are wireless and a dealer-installed option.

Agreed on this. https://www.ford.com/product/keyless-entry-keypad-for-vehicles-without-factory-remote-start-p2885836916 Worth waiting for a sale as you can get these for 20-25% off if you time it right. Dealer installation used to be $25 when included in the purchase, which was a no-brainer...

Check your glove box. If the truck came with any paperwork there will likely be a credit card sized card in there with the code.

The area circled red looks to me to be leftover adhesive backing from stick-on wheel balancing weights that fell off.

The video is very honest. We knocked this out in about 6 hours with a short break for lunch on a cold February Saturday. In nice weather it would be an enjoyable weekend project. The panels pop off easily and none of the bolt-/screw-on pieces are hard to remove. Organization is key as...

Call East Coast Gear Supply and get prices for complete axles for your truck as well as pricing for the same ring-and-pinion w/ master install kits for front and rear. From there you can figure out the labor costs for the axle setup, compare it to what your shop quoted you, and decide what to...

Did a microphone tuning session with @mObridge Fraser on Saturday (instructional video will be posted at some point) and it really opened my eyes to the capabilities of this amp and the tuning software. I'm already planning a nice-weather Saturday to set up a folding table and chair in the...

In addition to replacing the stock paper woofer I found that adding sound deadening to the subwoofer box helped a lot. It made it no longer sound like I was trying to get big sound out of a plastic box. Cover the big areas, but also work the material into the nooks and crannies. The more...
