JL Audio 4 inch speakers

[threeonone]

The c1-650 is that the component set? Did you just not install the tweeters?

I think some people value the ability to return to stock easily if needed.

But it's a known fact the stock speakers are trash. I guess I've replaced the speakers on 5/6 vehicles. Only one I haven't is my newest just because I haven't got around to it. But it and the Bronco will be getting speakers this spring when I feel comfortable taking the plastic bits out.

That being said none of those 5 other vehicles got the stock speakers put back in

I have tried both of these and they are not a good fit. any ideas about other harness?

Where are you trying to put the metra 5602's?
I saw where they fit in the kick panel.

I bought something similar to this off Amazon (but was a four pack). Yes it is true that they do not fit exactly but they do connect good enough as not to slip off. I had to bend the two metal prongs in the adaptors down a little for them to slid into the holes easier, but that was it. The biggest thing is making sure you have your positive and negative lined up. However, I dont think it's necessary to have them line up and snap in perfectly for these to work. Besides, like the other poster said, you could just cut them off and add regular old speaker connectors too.

I just wouldn't let these imperfect connectors hold you back to new good speakers!

The kick panel speakers have a different connector style than the 4" locations.

Question ... why are plug and play harnesses needed? Are you really going to put the stock speakers back in it? Can't you just cut far enough down the factory harness to splice it back together?

If you have electrical issues down the road the first thing the dealer will point to is a cut or altered harness. Not going to happen here.

I didn't think the CW had a tweeter, just a woofer. The C2-650X has a tweeter.

Have you had a chance to test these out yet?

My Bronco might deliver this week so it'll be a bit.

Um.... It's just speaker wire, they cannot make the leap if you have an electrical problem to blaming you for adding aftermarket speakers.... Speakers wires are not part of the vehicles 12 volt electrical system any more than your home speakers are to your home's electrical wiring....

Reaching a little on that one. There are Ford master service techs on this forum asking to diagnose a noise their motor makes ... I think you're giving them too much credit if you think they'll realize you have aftermarket speakers.

Ditto! See my post above

Dash speakers haven’t tried kick panels yet

Can you share the Amazon link? These won’t attach to the existing Bronco connector the metal connectors are not same size

 

[EKOBX]

Not exactly stealth, but out of the way and it sounds great! It has a metal case so no worries about it being back with whatever I carry.

 

[EKOBX]

I know this is old but did the plugs work without issues in the factory harness?

I used these same connectors and they worked great. I didn’t use any filters on my install.
