Hi all

[TheDudeAbides]

Sneak peak!

We just got done installing the next generation amplifier into a 2024 Braptor.
More power, lower distortion, next gen DSP. Wiring was cleaned up before the panel was put back on!

1) it is now optional to run the ACM harness. If you do not plan on upgrading rear pods to 6inch then you can leave the headunit running the center and rear pods and the zen amp DSP can control them. This means the only wire you have to run is the power wire <1hr job

2) this is exactly the install we did, we kept the b&O speakers and just upgraded the sub. Night and day difference and tune file is available!

3) can't comment as we did not.

Are you saying that you will soon be releasing a new amp kit for 2021-2024 B&O Broncos? If so, what’s the timing?

Great news !

On 1) - did you not run the optional ACM harness for your 2024 Braptor install ? And you thought the sound is great ? I'd think if you go thru all this, you might want to run the ACM harness - just in case you upgrade in the Future. I can't imagine it would take that much more time

on 2) - what sub did you run ? Was it a complete sub box ?

I've heard that the next gen amps will be available in 2 weeks ? How long does shipping take after you have in stock - I am in the US. Just want to plan the install ahead of time

Thanks !

Just looked at the photo - looks like you just replaced the B&O subwoofer with an EpicX subwoofer - was it a drop in or did you have to do some shimming/massaging? What was the model number ? Do you know how this compares in sound and install process to the JL Audio Stealthbox. The EpicX be a simpler approach - but want to make sure the bass sound is clean ( not boomy ! )

Also - looks like a new amp? And you ran a separate ground wire from a 1 into 2 distribution block out of the amp. Subwoofer wiring looks to go directly across to the amp. Looks cleaner than factory.

Thanks ! Dan

A quick update:

I talked with Tony at NAVTV ( I believe they are the US partners for mObridge ). He informed me that they are beta testing the new Zen amp for the future release and if all goes well, should be available in 2 - 4 weeks. Note - this product is not yet listed as available and I believe the the current one listed for sale is not available.

He did say that this will work well with the existing B&O system and bring out better performance with the base tune. As noted - you don't have to install the extra ACM harness unless you plan to upgrade the front speakers and rear pods that would require more power. Only the power wire.

Does anybody know if there's an easy way to copy one profile to another? The rax tune file looks pretty easy to modify, but I didn't know if there was a hot key/shortcut in the DSP software.

There definitely is. Fraser created a tune specific to my truck as profile 1 and then copied/saved that to the other 3 profiles as a baseline.

Of course I'm not sitting in front of the software right now and can't provide the steps but I do know it's possible.

Anyone have any further updates on this new Nav TV amp I called NavTv on Friday April 17 2026 an they stated call back in another two weeks, are these going to be packaged like the mobridage amps and everything included?

 

[gauss66]

Hi - I talked to Tony at NAVTV late last week. They need to do some re-work on this - as they had a few issues on the test batch. So I am guessing not in two weeks.

Hi ! Just a quick update:

I ordered the ZENPower9 kit for my 2024 Bronco - the amps are now in and according to UPS, I'll have it tonight. I hope to start the install this weekend - as I am doing a full Resonix soundproofing install on floor and doors - so routing cables should be even simpler with everything out
