I was honestly losing sleep about the stereo in my OBX, as dumb as that sounds, lol. I was coming from a Tahoe with a nice upgraded stock Bose system, nothing crazy but it sounded great to me. I upgraded the dash and rear to Alpine Type S and Kicker KS in the kick panel. Still sounded horrible to me, I added the kicker key200 and it was improved, but still not to my liking. The lows were nonexistent to say the least. I put the hideaway under the back seat and it is so much better. I was a basshead in my teens (SPL competitions every weekend, put way more into my stereo than my vehicle was worth) and these days I just want sound quality. I'm less than $1k into my upgrade (bought all the pnp kits which was over $200 of the cost, but well worth it for the time and headache savings) and I'm finally "satisfied" and I'm done upgrading. At the very most I'll put another kicker hideaway in and that's about it, but one is good for me now, and a HUGE improvement over the stock setup. I really do recommend just adding the hideaway, best $300 upgrade in my opinion, the kicker key 200 would be next, although many can argue that that should be first.
Sorry to bother you, but were you able to check your amp settings. I'm overall happy with mine now, but curious how other people have theirs. Thanks.
How did you run the speaker wires? Did you tap in under the radio, or in the kick panels? How did you get the one side wires across the Bronco to the other side to pair up with under the rear seat?
I bought the 11-2 kit from Plug N Play. Easiest way to do it, you don't have to run any additional wires to kick panel, etc. The PNP kits cost a little bit, but the time it saved me was 100% worth it. After it was all said and done, I wish I just would have gotten the full kit from PNP (wiring, speakers, amps) it's just a great setup that gets the job done.
Nope I completely forgot, lol. Sorry. I was just thinking the other day I needed to adjust it some more though.
