I did however I had trouble getting a consistent signal from the amp. The installer thinks there is an issue with the harness. I had to get an additional kicker box, forget what it’s called to make sure I was getting a solid signal to the sub amp.
It should be a good match from the specs. If you want easy and cheap, Kicker Key amps are a good choice. Especially if you don't want to do any tuning or optimization yourself. Another question is how much bass do you want? With the top down at 70mph, do you want to still hear the bass?
Those are both good options and good value for mono amps. I used a Kicker CXA mono for one of my other cars. And both of those are pushing enough power at 2 ohms to be useful in a Bronco.Here are a couple of solid choices for that under $300 price point. I use a more expensive 3 channel JL amp to run the systems in my boat and daily driver. They have been rock solid for sound and reliability.
I like your choices for components:
Fantastic work, thinking about something similar too...Have a Hideaway 10 rn but need a stealthy solution b/c I leave the hardtop off for extended periods of time. So to be clear, the front portion of that raised bed is the sub box, right? Really dig this and might fab up a false floor just to hide the HS10 for the time being.Kicker DX 250.1 driving two Kicker 10’s at 1 OHM load, crossed at 80hz and I have to dial the bass back. I custom built the box and deck panel for hidden appearance. The back side of the amp rack I have a kicker key 200.4. 2 channels are driving all 4 of the 4” using the rear factory channel 250hz line input signal and the other 2 channel inputs are coming from front kicks into the LC7i and then into the Kicker Key. That channel is driving the 6.5 kicks at 120hz cutoff using the Key crossover. All signals routed and tuned going through audiocontrol lc7i. Key is DSP tuned. Front 4” and 6.5” Alpine, rear 4” Pioneer. Sounds awesome and can crank all the way with zero distortion. Great soundstage. #1 upgrade and 1k well spent.
I've run all my own audio for years...JL, Focal, Infinity, etc. With the constraints and considerations of integration with modern fully featured vehicles, the Key with PnP harness is a fantastic option. Does it sound as good as some of my SQ setups in the past? 90% of the way there, and with this convertible/MT tired vehicle, that's good enough without spending 5x as much!
