@hollowlift - the ones you are looking for are the Hertz DCX 100.3. If you buy them at Crutchfield, they will supply you with the Metra connectors at no cost. You can use these speakers to replace the 2 front corner dash speakers and also the 2 speakers in the rear pods. I have the B&O system...
Hi @TrdProDad - I can't see harm in mixing speaker brands, but I have not personally dont it. I like keeping the same series/line of speakers from a single brand, as they generally carry the same sensitivity specs (like the Hertz) so you wont have big differences affecting volume output. I...
@snownut - how did those Metra speaker pods work out ? I like how they look just like the factory pods and seem to fit the same way against the roll bar. Did you have to completely remove the factory 4's and all their mounting hardware ? Thanks !
@12th Man Ag - Also wanted to point out, when I installed the Memphis in the kick panel, they lined right up to the Bronco factory speaker mount where the OEM woofer is. I would assume the Hertz C-165L would also line up, but I cant speak from direct knowledge on this one. Maybe some other...
@Brian_B - apologies on my reply. I tried out Memphis in the kick panel location, not Morels. (not sure how I screwed up that response :LOL: ) But I will say, I ripped them out after a week, as the loss of bass in the front was quite noticeable. I believe the stock B&O kick panel speakers...
I can tell you that the dash speakers are completely fine - no issue with hole alignment. Reminder that I did not touch my center speaker - even to this day. I will assume that your speakers for the rear Pods will also line up fine with your new larger Pods. I didn’t upsize but I can tell you...
All the speakers you have will work fine. Are they providing the adapters for all ? Also - what did you get for new pods ? I’ll be interested to get your option the C165L for the kick panels. I put my stock ones back in after my experiment with the Morels. The stocks have more bass.
I’ve been wanting to try this for a while. If you do it, please report back. I tried the Memphis but felt I lost too much bass so put the stocks back in. The C165L is supposed to be for lower bass so sounds like it could be good
Fully agree - I even called Crutchfield to ask them to change their system based on so many people using the Hertz for this vehicle. Not sure why they can't fix their system
I have also seen a previous thread that mentions a few people that have bought the plugnplay harness from Joe - I would assume this would be the most straightforward way to do it. I also read someone else, that someone used the wires from the rear speaker pods as inputs to a Kicker Key amp, and...
I have no issue with your question or having it in this thread. Happy to have different opinions. What I was trying to convey is that I *think* its a lot of extra money to amplify the pods, and if the extra money is worth it. If you decide to give it a go, there is no reason not to post it or...
This would be an interesting idea to see someone pursue this option - I would like to see a review as well to someone that has the B&O but adds the PlugnPlay kit to power the rear pods. Here is my concern - let’s say you do add a lot more power to the rear pods - is it going to make that much...
I’m looking for any feedback from people that that’s have tried the Hertz 165L in the kick panels using the factory B&O system (the purpose of this thread to begin with)

@BiggerBend - Check out my thread on doing the basic upgrades for speakers - granted this was written for those that have the B&O system in mind and already have a factory subwoofer, but perhaps some of the basics about speaker swaps is helpful to you to assess your questions - (41) B&O System...
I have the Square Kicker L7T-8 GearShare box made for the B&O system - @GearShade makes them for both the B&O and Non-BO set up. This is an incredible set up to maintain a hidden look and paired up with the Kicker Key 500.1 amp and used the pre-wired harness that was created by PLUGNPLAY - 2021...
@2023bronco & @nolimits - I created a whole thread for this if your interested. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/b-o-system-speaker-upgrade-options-back-to-basics-and-keeping-stock-amplifiers-and-subwoofer.96013/
