B & O speaker upgrade.

[OpDawg]

Un fortunately we do not have a tune for the audiofrogs. Have you got a microphone? Happy to help you tune it up further if needed.

Yeah, I did purchase a microphone but that was the one thing I couldn't find how to integrate with the Mobridge software... So I tuned it by ear.

It was the UMIK-1 microphone.

You cant view the mic via our software.
You want to get pink noise playing through the system at a loudish volume and mute all speakers, one by one use REW's RTA viewer (room eq wizard, start with 1/3rd octave if this is your first time tuning) to view the mics input, and then make adjustments in mObridge DSP, you will see this take affect in real time.

Ya know what I would love. Out of all of these B&O upgrade threads...
Someone just give me a parts list. Cause even the link to plug and play kits website. there are SOOO many different options, acronyms and #s i really do understand and don't care to.
Perhaps there is a great thread with all of it laid out, but i feel like unless you read every single post the objective gets lost.

This is what I want:
I want some nice loud, crisp sounding music at 80 MPH with the top off and windows down.
I don't really care about bass to be honest and while its not great, the factory sub is fine... unless the upgrade wouldn't be too much more expensive then i may consider it. I dont' want to spend thousands of dollars. Is it possible to do this for under a grand?

I want to achieve this goal by:
Upgrade front Dash and Center Speakers
Upgrade rear Pods (high quality 4"ers or 6.5s, i really dont' care)

AND GO!

@WIDirtFishing - can save you a lot of time if this is your goal:

• Replace all of your 4 corner speakers with Hertz DCX 100.3 - Hertz DCX 100.3 Dieci Series 4" 2-way car speakers at Crutchfield . They are on backorder at the moment at Crutchfield, but you can find them on Amazon too. If you get them at Crutchfield, you get the required harnesses too - Metra 72-5603 Speaker Wiring Harnesses For select 2021-up Ford Bronco vehicles — connect new speakers to the factory wiring plugs at Crutchfield
• Center Speaker - 2 options:
  • Add another Hertz DCX 100.3 and the same harness Metra 72-5603 or
  • Or use the well documented PRV - Amazon.com: PRV AUDIO 4 Inch Midrange Speaker 4MR60-4, 60 Watts Program Power, 4 Ohm, 30 Watts RMS Power Pro Audio Loudspeaker (Single) : Electronics also use the same Metra harness

**This is your most cost effective way to upgrade the speakers you mentioned. ** If you want to go bigger on the speaker pods - then you have 3 choices for 6.5 inch speaker pods ***Make sure you get the right ones for 4Dr or 2Dr. I gave you listings just to get you to the right place.

• Mabett Speaker Pods - Amazon.com: Mabett Rear Speaker Pods Compatible with Ford Bronco 4-Door 2024 2023 2022 2021, Upgrade 6.5" Pods for Bronco Accessories, Interior Accessories Black : Automotive
• SSV Pods - Bronco – SSV Works
• Metra Speaker Pods - Metra FD-BROPOD1 Ford Bronco Rear Speaker Pods 2021-Up (soundoftristate.com)

With the 6.5 pods - I would go with the Hertz DCX 165.3 - Hertz DCX 165.3 Dieci Series 6-1/2" 2-way car speakers at Crutchfield

COST

• To order (5) of the Hertz DCX 100.3 and get all the install harnesses from Crutchfield the cost is $389.97. You will have 1 speaker left over b/c of the center channel. I am sure you can sell it on the forum or keep one in the event you pop one down the road.
• To order 4 of the Hertz DCX 100.3 and get all the install harnesses from Crutchfield the cost is $259.98 and then you need (1) PRV Midrange for the center channel through Amazon and 1 Metra 72-5603 harness - $28.89 for both. So $288.87 total.

You just need to decide do you want all 3 front speakers to be co-axial or have the center channel be a midrange only - comes down to taste and if you want to save $100.
I gave you all listings for Hertz speakers because they are all HIGH sensitivity speakers at above 92db. I would not recommend going to speakers that are lower than this as I assume you are keeping your factory amp. You will be pleased with the results of the above. Also assuming you have the B&O system in your Bronco.

Omg
You have no idea how helpful this is. I really didn’t wanna get into amp upgrades and wiring unless absolutely necessary. This post should be pinned lol @mdube72 thank you!!!

@WIDirtFishing - one other very minor thing to call to your attention. The Hertz DCX 100.3 are unique in that the speaker connections aren’t like most speakers where you have a big fat connector on the “+” side and a thin connector on the “-“ side. Both speaker connnectors are the same size. So if you move forward - your either need to crimp on a new connector to each of the negatives on the Metra wiring connectors or just solder all your connectors to the speaker leads before you install them. I soldered all mine in about 15 mins before I installed so wasn’t a big deal. Just didn’t want you to have surprises

Thanks for the tip. I’ll have to dust off the soldering gun and do that. I will probably make this a winter project. I sincerely appreciate the help and the tips.
