I used this in the footwell behind the passenger seat:

Coupled with some upgraded speakers front and back, the Kicker adds a nice bottom end and some thump. Easy install too. Plenty of bass (by my 60ish ears), as long as you're not...
Just another data point: My 2022 BB with the small screen. Not many updates to Sync. Absolutely unreliable bluetooth or wired phone connections with a 5 year old Moto X4, Android 9 max. Bought a newer Moto g 5g 2023, Android 14, last year. Haven't had a problem since. Android auto, maps...
Fit just fine in the half-size holes. I took one out to check. I don't understand why there has to be so many different sizes (3?4?) in a Ford nowadays. Good luck!
The highest load would be seen during transmit, otherwise powering up the transceiver pulls a max 1 amp. I run an Icom IC2730 (similar specs to OP's transceiver) on switch 1, the radio powers off when powering off the bronco. No issues with current - wire size is adequate for the max expected...
Don't miss 4A at all. My climate here is less of a threat than the actual pavement. Off road is generally calichi (think limestone, but powdered) or sand, sometimes a foot deep. I ordered the locking rear axle with my BB.
Also retired AF, Desert Shield/Storm. Have a 93 OBS Bronco and a 22 BB. Also retired voluteer FF/EMT. Saw more nasty as a VF/EMT than in 20 years in USAF, but the Broncos are a lot of fun to play outside with.
Moto X4, Android 9 (don't hate, it works fine as a phone), works fine with my 11 SHO to send/receive phone calls. The SHO was bought specifically because it didn't have a screen - didn't want the complications that come with screens as they age.
Fast forward to the 22 BB with 8" screen...
GEICO - 4 other Fords on the policy with the 22 Bronco BB 2dr MTX. $76 a month.
But, I'm 62, never had an accident, last citation was in 2009, and I take defensive driving online courses every other year, which gets a $300/yr discount on the whole policy.
Oct 2022, got a call from the salesman (who I hadn't heard from for at least 6 months) saying "Hey your Bronco is here, wanna come see it?"... This was a Friday afternoon. Arranged a time after 5PM to go to dealer. They didn't have time to do anything but drive it off the trailer and give it a...
I'm such a cheap bastage. The Big Bend 2-door with MTX and MIC. Speakers were crap. Replaced with:
4ea Kenwood S1066 speakers off Amazon for the dash and pods, $56 shipped.
Crutchfield Kicker 6" for the kick panels. Kit including Metra adapters, speaker rings was $72 shipped.
A Kicker 46HS10...
I went for a fairly plain Big Bend hard top 2-door with the MTX (don't care much for slush boxes on 4 cylinder motors). Options were modular front bumper (came with a "bash plate"), trailer pkg (pipe dream, thinking trailer tow pkg might come with upgraded cooling), 4.46 gear ratio with rear...
