Like most things with my Bronco (and my Jeep), I always consult the forum to see what others are doing. There is a lot of great information on these forums and I am rarely pushed in the wrong direction but one thing I see consistently on here is to add Bass Blockers to the front 4" speakers. With the blockers installed, the speakers are far too "bright" or "tinny" as my girlfriend says. Being pointed right at the windshield doesn't help with this either and while I can see the potential problem of distortion (due to under powering the front drivers because of the front speakers wired in parallel), the gain of the speakers not being so "bright" in your face is worth not installing blockers. With my kicker key, I am usually only listening to the volume around 12 at the highest. Distortion only happens at level 17 and above.
I believe the solution to this would be somehow modifying the front speaker housing to accept a 5 1/2, and then powering each speaker on it's own channel. I would have to increase the amp size or add another Kicker Key, bridge the channels (to get 50 amps RMS per channel) and run the 6.5s in the back. Either way, there's more work to be done to make this sound system better. Let me know what y'all think.
