I swapped in the B&O ACM and found I could code it in Forscan as if it were the base ACM. It played my stock 4 speaker setup fine. Actually, if I had not already possessed the AudioControl D-6.1200 DSP amp I would have gone mObridge and run the A2B and CAN wiring myself if their harness did...

I used the Trail Seven amp rack and added some pieces of sound deadener wherever anything was secured to the body. Not shown but I got my small subwoofer amp to fit immediately to the left of the DSP amp shown. AudioControl‘s software works well to get things sorted for initial listening. I...

I found a set of the lower valances that go with these on the Bronco Raptor and I put them on today. I think these make the outside of the modular bumper look great.

I haven’t done the amp yet, but when I do - right rear behind the panel, where a stock subwoofer would go “if equipped.” And 23OBX2.7, you definitely have to touch your ACM in Forscan if you’ve swapped in the B&O example as I did. You’ll need Forscan to disable the A2B circuitry at least. I...

I hope that my DSP tuning will let me tune and set all speaker levels to suit my ears as it’s been able to do in prior vehicles. I just found another “compendium” ACM Forscan post here: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/forscan-rear-speaker-eq-findings.54999/ The OP was coding a 2021 Base...

I did some Forscan work this evening. I learned a lot in this thread: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/how-to-forscan-audio-speaker-mods.71145/ When I first powered it up I had no sound and the volume control stayed at zero. However, now it appears that I got the Lux (B&O) ACM to...

Just like on other recent Fords I’ve owned, they expect us to use a prop rod for working under the hood. No thanks! I saw that Ford offers a kit, part # M-16826-B. Like others, I wish that they did it this way from the factory. However, after installing their kit today I can say that it was...

I finally found some time and a nice day! I compared both ACMs and saw that they share identical pins in their harness recesses. All the fun here is in the black connector. I’ll be interested to see if I can code in the proper front and rear speaker outputs. This would change the B&O setup...

If I understand you correctly, you are having an aftermarket DSP processor break out the speaker signals - same as I am working on. You don’t need the B&O ACM for that. In fact my project would be simpler if I stuck with the non B&O ACM and its stereo front and rear speaker level outputs...

Job done. The green wire from kit harness was soldered in for power (thick yellow wire of the 6 they provide at firewall) from Aux 1. The black ground wire from the kit harness is secured under a factory ground bolt. Outboard fog lights operate with the center (fog light) button in the...

I got things started by running the BRaptor kit’s harness up from the front bumper to come up behind the driver’s side headlight and back to the area on the firewall where the Aux (upfitter) wires are waiting. The kit contemplates you using one Aux switch for all the lights or 2 of them to...

Here’s the center speaker grille in its package. Notice that it comes with the “accessory ready” piece. Yes, that piece is different on a B&O Bronco.

I found a great deal on the Ford Performance Bronco Raptor RIGID fog light kit (puts a pair of RIGID lights at each end of the modular bumper) so I am working on doing that. The kit expects you to send two leads back up to the upfitter (aux) switch leads at the firewall. I plan to have the...

Thanks! The secret is to have such an infinitely adjustable amp as my D-6.1200. It allows me to adjust the center speaker output level to suit my ears and create a more robust front sound stage without obvious left to right imaging and without any of the speakers “poking out”. A car benefits...

Of course, I can’t leave well enough alone. Use of the B&O ACM in a non-B&O system intrigues me. I posted this thread last night as well… https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/audio-upgrade-for-2021-base-6-speaker-add-a-center-channel-and-get-hd-radio-detailing-the-acm-from-a-b-o-bronco.129528/

No changes yet in Forscan. This seems to be a simple upgrade using the same full range signal that comes out of the base ACM.

With reference to a good thread I read this evening: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/mobridge-amp-in-non-b-o-system-hd-radio-retrofit.82952/ I’ve done many neat car audio installations over the decades and I enjoy good sound at home as well as in any car or truck. Most recently I had a...

Non-B&O Base 6-speaker audio in a 2021. I installed the BS1-316 3-way set for the fronts just yesterday. I like the looks of those custom grilles with tweeter grafted in. The instructions are clear and the crossovers are beefy. You have a large crossover to slide inboard of the 4” midrange...

Great write up! I followed your lead to wire in some fogs on my 2021 Big Bend with the HD Modular bumper. I found weatherpak connectors in 10-packs on Amazon. I stocked up on 3-wire and 2-wires - for any other possible jobs. I bit the bullet and got a good deal on the recently released Ford...

I have a 2021 Big Bend 2DR V6 in Antimatter Blue. This one has the Mid package, locking rear axle, modular front bumper and tow package. I am starting to collect information on how I might do this in an “as-factory” way as possible. To begin, I found this excellent thread by Mbuck (with...
