I'll comment as a Bronco owner who has never upgraded a car audio system before. However, I am particular about the sound of my home system.
WOW......holy Sh*t!! What a set up.... Thank you for the update.I have a 2-Door and can tell you that the Mobridge WILL fit, just takes a bit of "driveway engineering" and everything sounds 10x better than before (especially after tuning help from Fraser!). Customer service is second to none - Fraser even sent me custom firmware to help with a power issue I was having - you're just not going to get that from anyone else.
I have the Mobridge system running everything including upgraded 6.5'' pods and the 8'' wakeboarding cans. I had originally put in an 8'' Kicker sub to replace the stock, so Mobridge DSP is driving that as well.
Everything except the 12'' JL Subwoofer (put in a 500.1 monoblock amp for that one).
The ease of plug n play and being able to power all of the stock speakers (even some big upgraded ones) in one unit was key.
Hugely helpful as I've never upgraded a car audio system either. I've been following this thread for a year or more. Thank you!I'll comment as a Bronco owner who has never upgraded a car audio system before. However, I am particular about the sound of my home system.
I was looking for the most plug and play option available. Went to a local hi end audio store and they told me what I would need. There were at least three components required, and as a newbie who wanted to save on labor, Mobridge was the answer as the all-in-one plug and play component cost was identical (not including labor). I was able to easily follow the instructions, I had a couple of newb questions for Mobrigde along the way, but it really was a true plug and play situation.... EXCEPT - I have 2 door, that required a different solution for my sub (MTI amp rack and tailgate sub) which turned to out to also be good solution because all rattles have now gone away. I was able to use the stock sub wiring and extend to the tailgate easily.
Now I am at the tuning phase which is more intimidating (just begun to study) than the hardware install which is really very easy to follow. The sound as is, wow.... just needs some adjustments for things like blending bass which can be overbearing with current base tune combined with the sources being used. Fun journey, but the first leap has been great!!
Where can I find the video on how to run that thicker power wire for the amp?
@RagnarKon has a lot of great info on this. Running a new power wire through the firewall is a very common thing - and there are a lot of good guides for it. Once you get through the firewall you can either go through the driver's door sill and then across the back seat hinge area, or across the dash and then through the passenger door sill - when you pull plastic sills up you will see the wire channel that runs all the way back to the rear cargo area. Getting through the firewall is the hardest part, and even that isn't so bad - the rest is easy peasy. Just make sure to use a fuse near the battery. There is a good ground back by the sub (the same one the OEM amp uses) so you only need 1 power wire.
Factory gauge is fine for all the speakers - so no worries there. There's an install guide on the mobridge site you can download and take a look at.
Good day Jabrax, I have a 2 Door Ford Bronco and I’m in the process of upgrading my B&O System…. This is very helpful, I might reach out to you for guidance when I have everything in hand.I'll comment as a Bronco owner who has never upgraded a car audio system before.
