I just learned that there is a real 'key' in my fob! Who knew?! I guess I never considered locking my console or glove box. Parking on the street in the city, a locked glove box or console is just an excuse for a thief to take screwdriver to damage your car. I leave nothing of value overnight.
I would agree with you as a general rule for most car audio. But...unless you add an aftermarket amp to the rear pods, you can't hear them. Also, the sub frequencies don't significantly overlap the other speakers. Given the distance from the front speakers, I doubt you could tell that the...
Note, If I had to do it over, I would have left the kick panels stock and replaced just the dash speakers with Polk db402s ($50) and the center channel with the PRV audio 4" midrange ($19). I spent far more money on the front and frankly it was a waste. So, all of this can be done for less...
This may not help you, but many of bought our 4" harness adapters from this small company. This was before Metra came out with an adapter. They worked great!

Also, regarding polarity. Reversing polarity is only bad if one channel is out...
Here are my counter points to EVs. Set aside the carbon-intensive Li-ion technology manufacturing and shipping. and just focus on the decarbonization benefits and total-cost-of-ownership economics. The picture isn't so rosy.
I track a lot of the electrification technologies. While there is...
Mine (Parrish Ford in Goochland, VA) had all four at 39. Great rural county dealership. I live in the city and drive 35 minutes for them to service my Bronco. Third generation family owned.
Since mine was a 2023, not sure if things have changed. I installed 6.5” aftermarket pods and an 8” sub. I power the pods and the sub off a 4 channel amp. Since the sub is doing the bass heavy lifting, the stock high pass filter on the pods isn’t noticeable. Also, my sub (pioneer) goes a...
I ended up adding an amp to power upgraded 6.5” pods and a sub. I just fed the factory signal into the amp for the rear pods. I used a kicker Keyloc for the sub by tapping to the kick panel speakers. I can confirm that the kicks have a full range signal. At some point I may just switch the...
Is there an update for 2023? The kicks and Left rear speaker are the same as this (and the +/- are twisted together. The rear right doesn't seem to match this.
I think the Gearshade sub box is reasonably priced. I like to build my own boxes. I'm working up a box design that I can mount above the rear passenger trim panel bump out. The thought is to attach it to a molle panel with vibration isolating foam pads and bushings to prevent rattles.
I think the aftermarket pods sellers are all saying that they don't work with the Braptor or they are working through a product modification. Anything sold that is Braptor-specific gets a back-burner for development because the lower quantity of these in the market. (It's like 2-door but much...
The A2B interfaces are likely the best solution. I haven't used one, but I have been reading up.
Here's what I have learned in my research:
B&O is a pain to upgrade in traditional ways (line out converters and amping)
The sub channel has a bass roll-off. If bronco is like other Ford B&Os...
