  1. B&O Speakers Upgraded in 2022 Bronco

    I’m still very happy with the setup. The JL sounds clean and blends well with the system. The B&O amp has been doing great powering the Hertz aftermarket speakers. Yes. You’ve got the correct sub. It fits into the oem 2022 B&O enclosure with just some minor trimming to the outer rubber trim on...
  2. Softtop window fall out of groove

    Same thing was happening to mine. Mine was the driver side rear window. After it popped out several times, I found out that the plastic frame/bracket was broken. Dealer replaced the window panel under warranty.
  3. B&O Speakers Upgraded in 2022 Bronco

    UPDATE After running this setup for a few weeks, the Comp R sub and Key 500.1 both stopped working. At first, I thought it was just the sub. I installed a new sub (JL W1) and still no sound. Come to find out, the amp also stopped working. I replaced the 500.1 with a new one and now I’m back in...
  4. Anyone install a JL Audio 8" W1v3 Sub into the B&O enclosure?

    I finished installing the W1. It sounds great. Come to find out, my Kicker Key 500.1 stopped working along with the Comp R sub. I ended up having to replace both the amp and the sub. I put in a new Key 500.1 and the JL W1 and it sounds even better than the Comp R did. I did have to trim the...
  5. Anyone install a JL Audio 8" W1v3 Sub into the B&O enclosure?

    The Kicker RT vents through the magnet (see pic below from Crutchfield), but the mounting depth is only 2.7” so it should be fine with or without poly fill.
  6. Anyone install a JL Audio 8" W1v3 Sub into the B&O enclosure?

    I haven’t had a chance to install the W1 yet. My rig has been in the shop for warranty repairs (rear diff). I should be getting it back by Monday and will be able to swap out the Sub.
  7. B&O Speakers Upgraded in 2022 Bronco

    The Comp R will fit. However, my Comp R failed a few weeks after installing it. I think it failed because it was pressed up against the rear of the enclosure and was unable to vent. The shallow mount version might work out better. I’ve decided to replace with a JL Audio W1, but haven’t swapped...
  8. Anyone install a JL Audio 8" W1v3 Sub into the B&O enclosure?

    Yep, 4-4.1” is the max depth that will fit. The diameter is also a tight squeeze. I had to snip off some of the outer plastic trim ring on the Kicker to get it to seat in the opening.
  9. Anyone install a JL Audio 8" W1v3 Sub into the B&O enclosure?

    I can confirm that the full size Kicker Comp R (48CWR84) fits in the OEM enclosure. However, as noted above, the Kicker sub likely failed due to inability to vent properly.
  10. Anyone install a JL Audio 8" W1v3 Sub into the B&O enclosure?

    Yep, I have a Kicker Key 500.1 I just received the JL W1 and will install sometime this week.
  11. Anyone install a JL Audio 8" W1v3 Sub into the B&O enclosure?

    The JL W1 is a single voice coil vs the Kicker which is a dual voice coil. So, the JL will run at 4ohm whereas the Kicker was running at 2ohm wired in parallel. My amp will send 150w @ 4ohm vs 300w @ 4ohm. I’m interested to see what the JL will sound like with it running on 150w vs 300w with the...
  12. Anyone install a JL Audio 8" W1v3 Sub into the B&O enclosure?

    The W3 will not fit in the OEM enclosure, it’s too deep. Another person on the forum successfully mounted a 8” W1 in the OEM enclosure. See post from OGBroncoBoi in thread linked below. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/b-o-speakers-upgraded-in-2022-bronco.66256/page-3 This is the thread...
  13. Is the Ford Performance tune worth it?

    I have the FP tune on my 2.7. The Bronco is even more fun to drive with the extra giddy up. The shifting is more noticeable. It’s fun to feel the auto transmission changing gears. Overall, the changes are noticeable, but mild. Gas mileage is more or less the same as before. I don’t feel...
  14. Help with ForScan and B&O System

    When I had the factory B&O speakers and sub, I made the Forscan changes shown above and it definitely changed the sound of the sub and quieted it down some. It helped reduce the rattling noise I was getting. I ended up reverting the forscan setting to factory and replacing all of the factory...
  15. Anyone else have a Transfer Case leak?

    My rig is at the dealership for this same issue right now. Been there for a week. I think it’s just a seal, we’ll see.
  16. B&O Speakers Upgraded in 2022 Bronco

    I’ve seen others modify the enclosure. I chose to go with the kicker that I knew from others experiences would fit without modifying the enclosure. The problem I had with that was that the raised sections are hollow, so it’s not as simple as just removing the raised sections (there are three...
  17. B&O Speakers Upgraded in 2022 Bronco

    I guess a marine speaker wouldn’t hurt as long as the specs are suitable. The factory speakers are cheap paper, so most any aftermarket speakers will be an improvement as far as weather resistance.
  18. B&O Speakers Upgraded in 2022 Bronco

    Yep. That’s what I used. There are 4 wires that come off the harness. And those splice into the 4 wires on the Kicker 500.1 harness after you cut off the RCA tips. It would be just as easy to use the 4 wires that feed the factory sub and splice those into the kicker harness. I bought the plug n...
  19. B&O Speakers Upgraded in 2022 Bronco

    I used the Plug n Play harness. It was a tad expensive ($100 shipped) and probably mostly unnecessary, but it prevented me from having to cut/splice any of the factory wiring...
