That's insane. My local shop charged me $150 to install both an amp and a sub in my Jetta Sportwagen. I'll be installing my own amp in the Bronco. I'm waiting for better subwoofer solutions to come along though. I'm not keen on taking up precious cargo space with an exposed sub (not to mention...
I believe amplification is almost always the most beneficial upgrade in almost any vehicle, but particularly in a noisy/topless vehicle like the Bronco where you will need that additional power to drive higher volume levels without distortion.
The amp will connect directly to the stereo unit (a pre-made wiring harness will help). The new speakers will simply connect to the existing speaker wires (you'll want connection harnesses though). Hoel Wiring sells both.
With the connection harnesses the speaker replacement is as simple as can...
The selling point here is the slot in the top to go over the headrest so I’m not having to stuff a towel under the headrest to keep it in place. The Ford logo is a nice bonus - makes it look just a bit more “purposeful.”
I've read a few reviews for some of the covers with the "slip resistant" backing (like the ones in your link) that claimed the rubber nubs damaged their synthetic leather seating. I don't intend to actually sit on the covers so this may not be an issue, but...
I just don’t know if they would be long enough to cover the entire seat.
I’ve looked at hooded towels but they all seem to come in kids sizes, so way too short.
They tend to not stay in place, so you come out to a car with a cool seat but a hot back.
As expected, the MGV seating gets hot in the sun. We've resorted to covering the seats with a blanket when we leave it parked somewhere with the top off. Something you take off the seat when you return to the vehicle to keep the leg burns at bay. Clearly a blanket isn't the easiest approach. Is...
Looks great! Would love to see a slightly slimmer option with a 10” woofer. Cargo space in the Bronco is at a premium and I don’t need enough low frequencies to blow the doors off.
Mine wasn't applied to my purchase. In fact, my dealership told me they've not seen a single customer get that deposit refunded by Ford. My guess is it's the dealership that's confused here. I plan to call Ford about that as well as my 22.5 price protection, which I also have not yet seen rebated.
Yes, but now you're nearly triple the price of the Ford (Tuffy) version. Too rich for my blood.
Are there any other competitors out there? Frankly the Ford (Tuffy) version would be great with a little extra work. Weld some nuts to some panels, add some twist knobs to logical locations...
Would it be possible to flip the sub to the seat side of that molle panel? Is there enough space between seat and panel, particularly when the seat is reclined? (Well, if you can call that extra 1/2" adjustment Ford gives you "reclined.) It would be great if a sub could fit into that space...
This is awesome. I lost my mom to breast cancer when I was 6. She was only 30. That was over 40 years ago and the wound is still fresh. Kudos to your wife for claiming victory over that monster!
