After driving around with a 2 ohm sub for a while I did decide that it was quite 'boomy' as some folks have been saying. Ordered a 4 ohm and just installed it, haven't spent much time listening yet but did a quick recording with the exact same song sample and volume as above. Lost about 5 dB at...
I will add that 70% on the windshield is excellent!! It's not that noticeably darker but does help my eyes when driving into a sunset or when folks have their brights on at night a little bit!
Here is what an added 20% ceramic looks like on the fronts and 70% ceramic added to the windshield looks like. Also inside view. If you're in a rural area at night it's a bit dark, but nothing TOO crazy.
Both of my terminals on the speaker have the label two ohms written on them, wiring up the speaker with the factory terminals I assume it's like a 4 ohm load that the amp will see. Since I am hooked to all 4 prongs. 🤷♀️
I didn't tear apart the harness that feeds into the amp but I'm assuming...

The fusion...
I know this is an old thread but I just wanted to thank you for supplying that link !! There are a lot of different amps similar to the fusion one, but that have different harness connector dimensions. Ones with the correct dimensions we're going for $140, THIS LINK IS $75 . THANK YOU !! - going...
I have a jb4 , plug and play. Very simple and easy. I'm sure you'd pickup more horse from a custom tune as stated above. But I do love the flexibility of using my phone to change the tune on the fly. Most of the summer I run a 93/e85 blend that allows for 5-6 extra psi.
No upgraded intercooler...
Not really I think with anything that's not the stock muffler you will have a louder exhaust for sure. Def a lot of rumble to this in lower gears. Personally I love it tho.
Good analysis Sir !
Currently have a 2023 Black diamond SAS, I've been looking to move from the stock 315/70/17's to a 35 11.5 K03 ! This is an excellent comparison as I've been thinking about how skinny a 11.5 will appear compared to the 315. Also I have the stock -wider sas wheel well flares...
Depends on what type of front bumper you have. I am used to standard tow hooks that stick out perpendicular to the grill. The Black diamond has these hen style and mounting my flag was a little more awkward.
On my Silverado I used to have ko2s and ran around 10 in the rear as well. No beadlocks. No beadlocks on the bronco currently either. Air down tires just grip on the hills!! Can always start at 15 and let some more air out. I usually kept more psi on front because of engine and people weight...
Excited for your trip out there !
Personally. I ran 14 psi on the front and 10 on the rears last year. 12 would be fine I bet. Looks like you got a 2 door so even less weight then my 4 door (black diamond sas on stock 'mt' territory). You'll do great out there. Test hill can be a little sharp...
Could hit that corner of the muffler with a flap wheel real quick to smooth out that edge. That way instead of a gouge or scratching into the drive shaft or brake line it would just be a softer scrape. Would also gain another 1/8 of clearance. 😁 Just make sure not to overdo it.
I recall a big discussion on this site about the requirement being 6 quarts and not 7 for the broncos. (Although it doesn't sound like 7 is hurting you) - I have a 2.7 and use 6 quarts when I change the oil. 🤷♀️ Looks like Google yeilds that adding 7 might get the oil to overfill dipstick a tad.
Agreed on the ronin plug !! Had probably an entire quart on my driveway on my first oil change due to this same cow piss effect. My oil drain pan is the box type with a hole at the top. It splashed everywhere. Ronin plug reduces diameter and has an easy had tighten/ loosen release. Well worth...
