@RlsTheBracken - not sure if it matters or not, but I’ve used the -10db tones for the Key 500.1 - https://www.kicker.com/key5001-testtones. Says at the bottom “
-10dBFS: Designed only for Subwoofer applications, there will be less dynamic range but higher potential audio output levels. With...
@irishmurph01 - I believe that Gearshade still has a place that mounts the B&O amp in a dedicated location on the subwoofer box that is separate from where I have the Key 500 mounted. On the box he sold me, the B&O amp mounts on the side in front of the sub in a dedicated indentation. The Key...
This is a picture of my amp settings using the Gearshade square L7T-8 subwoofer. I do have the bass knob which is key to this setup. It’s unplugged in this picture so you can see the gain setting. I mounted the bass knob under the steering column. There is a square cutout under the column which...
@irishmurph01 - I cant imagine you will need anything more than the 1 sub :LOL:. I will be interested to hear your opinion of the new 10 inch box. Alawys loved the JL's back in the younger years. I went with the Square 8 Kicker L7T. I was skeptical going into this journey. Even though it’s an...
Is there a reason you wouldn’t want to go with the gear shade option ? He makes his boxes with the option for those with the Lux package to maintain a place to mount the B&O amp. You won’t lose any cargo space and the bass is phenomenal difference over the factory sub. I have the square setup...
@Southsounder - how do you like the C165 in the Kick Panels ? I know that is a daily common swap for people - the kick panels are the only factory speakers still in my Bronco. Will possibly upgrade them in the spring, but as many have said, it seems to be the lowest "value" upgrade to the whole...
@RagnarKon - quick question for you: Is it known/confirmed that there is no "simple swap" ability to change out the Generation 1 B&O amp for the new Generation 2 amp in the 2025+ ? Its more of a curiosity for me, not necessarily something I am looking to do at the moment,
Under the steering wheel - stealth location, easy to adjust and no holes visible to anyone. Plus Ford gave us a nice little square cut out to poke the wire through :muscle:
@cmtaz - thanks for sending this along. I must have pulled some specs from a site that was not accurate. The ones you have here show these speakers are almost identical so I am sure they would both work just fine. Looks like the REF407F is a slightly newer version of the 4032.
@Jim H - I have not tried the Infiniti REF 407’s but many members have used them. You can also ping @Brian_B to get his opinion. Pretty positive he went with the Infiniti’s and I have high confidence they fit. Crutchfield says lots of things don’t fit many vehicles - not sure why they do that.
@JAKExBAKE - Looks like I dont see the same harness that Joe was making before as "Kit 10" as shown here - 2021 -2024 BRONCO & BRONCO SPORT WITH B & O PREMIUM SOUND KITS – Plug N Play Kits This one doesnt have the Kicker specific connection, it has the high level outputs that you would connect...
@JAKExBAKE - also you will likely need the B&0 subwoofer harness from Joe at PlugnPlay - he makes one specifically for the Kicker Key 500.1 Makes connecting your amp simple and it bypasses the B&O amp so you avoid any type of signal processing from the B&O on your new subwoofer...
@JAKExBAKE - I took the seat out to give myself some more room to work with the wiring because there’s not a whole lot of space behind the driver seat in the two door. I probably could have gotten away with using a plumbing snake and some electrical tape and honestly removing the driver seat was...
I got the Stinger amp wiring kit that is specific for Bronco with a mounting plate for the fuse in the engine compartment. It was plenty long enough for a 2-door but a little pricey.

Pulled out my driver seat and took my time pulling the panels. It's a...
