I have the B&O, not sure if it’s the same, but it had a wiring harness too. I had to shift them around and work the amp underneath/beside them.
I actually haven’t drilled yet. Just double-sided tape, but think i have to go back in the secure it better.
I also have MJP6s in for kicks and they sound great. Obvs. less range than the stock ones (wich really also sounded pretty good), but good low range sound.
I have B&O and this is without aftermarket amplification.

You essentially just pull up on the trim pieces by the door, but those threads (I think) share pages from the shop manuals. (You can also find a link to DL to the...
The kick speakers ultimately use the same wiring from the head unit as the dash speakers, so would the DSP be able to differentiate?
To my untrained ear, the stock kick speakers definitely had a higher range than the MJP6's 10khz, but not as high as the dash...I think it's limited by build of...
Great write-up. Looks like you didn’t add an amp. How’s the sound and volume from the kick speakers?
There’s a hole under the kick speakers (covered by the black thing) you can route wires through.
I think so? They sound right and get plenty loud. With the engine off, a volume of 15 (half way) almost makes my ears hurt.
Note though, that the audiofrogs don’t fit easy and are hard to modify. They don’t have brackets you can snap off to fit, I had to cut off 2 of the holes and use washers...
Wanted to thank the OP and all contributors for the helpful info in this thread and forum. In case it's useful info to anyone else, I wanted to share the upgraded setup I ended up going with in my B&O system:
Dash: AudioFrog GS42s for all three speakers. I tried the JL C1-400s, but those...
Thanks for the write up.
I ended up clipping off one part of a hole on each side (so they end up looking a bit like a C). That provided enough material on each side for the screws to hold it securely.
They sound awesome — clearer than the JL C1-400s I had in there, but does seem like they’ll...
Ah, maybe user error. I couldn’t get it to trigger, but maybe i wasn’t waiting long enough for it to arm when locking. So then I did the whole off/on 6 times (it did honk and arm).
I attached it tightly to the gateway module. Still messing around with the sensitivity, but I can get it to honk by hitting the steering wheel.
I did miss the part in the manual about how to enable and arm it (turn Bronco off and on 6 times, etc.). I didn’t do that at first and it wouldn’t work...
Yep, behind the glove box. Module is up and to the right. The cable connects at the bottom right. Straightforward install, but was a bear to get the cables all connected — awkward angles and not much room for your hands.
Here’s a thread on it...
