I love my Bronco…but get this under $50K and I’m switching.

PPI, Soundstream, and Power Acoustik are owned by Epsilon. MB Quart, Hifonics, and Crunch are owned by Maxxsonics. I miss my early 2000’s system that had a MB Quart Q series front stage running off of a PPI Art Series A600.2. I could hear a lot better back then.

MB Quart of today has no relation to MB Quart in the 90’s. Rockford Fogate bought them in 2000 and struggled to mesh their American ownership with the Germany based MB Quart. Rockford basically dropped the company into bankruptcy in 2004 where Maxxsonics bought them out. They dropped any German...

I guess you just help some people. Your biamp wiring to the dash is running two speakers in parallel, Alpine built a nice little crossover to make it one speaker on it, but at its heart it is two, 4 ohm speakers wired in parallel which at your insistence makes it two ohms and is wrong based on...

I’ll try one more time. You have Alpine coaxial speakers in your dash, right? That coax consists of a 4 ohm 4 inch midrange speaker and a 4 ohm tweeter. You have two 4 ohm speakers wired in parallel. Why isn’t your 4 ohm stable amp overheating?

Keep doubling down… Yes, the Kicker Key isn’t designed to run with a 2 ohm load. According to your logic, you are still running your dash speakers and rear channels at 2 ohms since it has a 4 ohm midrange and a separate 4 ohm tweeter. That’s what a Coaxial speaker is, two separate speakers...

I guess when you are shown to be incorrect you have to resort to childish insults like insinuating someone is autistic. The entire premise of this thread is based on flawed information. You are the one insinuating that Ford engineers, the makers of the harnesses for the Bronco, and every...

I gave you a link to describe how it works, speakers are complex motors including dynamic factors. Manufacturers utilize simple things to make it easier for people who don’t understand advanced concepts to get things mostly right. Feel free to explain how a capacitor filters frequencies other...

Again, you are confusing resistance and impedance. Here is the manual of JL Audio’s fantastic 6.5” C7 driver showing its impedance curve. They list it as a 4 ohm driver, but if you look at the curve it crosses 5 ohms at around 1100 hz and jumps over 10 ohms at 6500 hz...

This is false on the EQ. Here is my post from years ago showing the original factory EQ settings for all 4 speakers. I haven't ever measured the 7 speaker and B&O system as I don't have one...

I'll agree that Bi-Amp will get better results in a lot of scenarios, but given most co-axes in the dash have an inline capacitor, adding in the transient nature of music and the volumes that most people will listen at the majority of the time wiring a mid and dash speakers together in parallel...

You are confusing nominal impedance with actual impedance. Nominal is a characteristic of DC resistance which has loose correlation with actual inductive speaker loads. As long as the dash speakers have an inline capacitor at the lower frequencies the amp will basically only see the kick panel...

B&O isn’t even a company anymore. Harman Kardon took them over a decade ago and just licenses the name out. Harman’s engineers may work a small amount with Ford, but overall they’re the same crappy speakers with and undersized amp with a DSP tune applied.

While both vendors are telling what their efficiency is, they are measuring it differently unfortunately. Kicker is giving a more realistic and standard rating of 1 watt of power, at 1 meter vs Infinity which is giving you a measurement of 2.83 volts at 1m. 2.83 volts into a 4 ohm speaker is 2...

They are basically lying. Most OEM systems will rate something for a single channel, peak power. Any of those channels could produce 110 watts as part of a transient peak. The lie is that not all channels can do that at once. Music, and speakers in tune, provide a reactive load to the...

Doesn’t fit in the 2 door?

It reprograms the airbag deployment algorithm based on the different bumper material. I would assume it takes higher impact to deploy.

No, it barely fit in my Subaru Forester.

I don’t, what I can say is that it took up the entire back of a 2021 Subaru Forester with the seats folded down and the passenger seat pushed forward.

Warning: this comes on a pallet with 3 boxes. It may not fit in your Bronco if you shipped to a dealer.
