I went with the new ACX series from Focal for all speakers. ACX 100 for both 4" pairs, and ACX 165 for the kick panels. I added bass blockers to the front pair, and slim Boom Mat baffles to all speaker locations. You'll see pictures of how I chose to cut the baffles to make them fit into the hole front and back.@broncogal21 Yes I would love to see the products you used and helpful notes and pictures if you could please.
I also added the self-powered Kicker 46HS10 to the back, which makes a world of difference! You'd be surprised the amount of bass you get from the sub even with the top off of the Bronco. It's honestly really easy to install in the Bronco. I'll include a picture of the power and signal wire I tucked into the door channel, and then there was already a rubber grommet in the fire wall that I removed and poked a hole through for the power wire. I placed the grommet back into the firewall and it holds the power wire perfectly in place without making any new holes. I used the harnesses that we provide at Crutchfield to splice into in order to get a signal for the sub, that way I didn't even disrupt any of the factory speaker wire going to the location. I also took a pic of that and will include it.
The speaker wire in the roll bar is super short. There are not plug and play harnesses for it, so you have to cut off the connector and you will have to extend those wires where they are so short. That pic will be included as well.
One other pic I'll include that may be helpful is the very easiest spot to pry up the front grilles. I really couldn't get my panel tool under the grille in any other spot until I found this spot.
Volume is great, clarity is great, and that sub rounds it out so well. I'll likely go back in and add a small amp to the speakers in the next couple weeks to take it a step further. We're doing some pictures of the vehicle for the Crutchfield catalogue tomorrow, so you'll see my in our next catalogue if you happen to get those in the mail.
Oh, I used Velcro outdoor grade two sided velcro and it holds my sub perfectly against the back seats without drilling any holes or taking up much space
I hope this helps with your upgrade!
