I want to explain the kicker key 200.4 amp in detail VS the musway amps to help members pick the right kit for their bronco . The kicker key is a 50 watt x 4 amp . on a bronco non b & o system . Your front 4 inch dash and 6 1/2 kick panel speakers are daisy chain together . So that means when using a key 200.4 the 50 watts running the front speakers gets split in half between the 4 inch and the 6 1/2 giving each speaker 25 watts each . the rear pods will get 50 watts each . this is a improvement over the stock acm output .and leaving the stock speakers in will sound better with the auto mic tune setup . This is what this amp and others like it we call (piggyback amps in the biz ) are made for adding a amp to factory or low power speakers . For this scenario a small budget the kicker key is a great choice Now if you upgraded your speakers we will use (kicker speakers for example ) the 4 inch require 60-70 watts continuous and the 6 1/2 require 100 watts . If you are using a kicker key 200.4 you are only giving the 4 inch 33% of the power it should have and 25% power to the 6 1/2 . so you spent the money on good speakers and your way under powering them . Your going backwards and the amp is your weak point .
For those that upgraded their 6 speakers the kit 34 musway four100 amp and harness is a way better option . $200 price difference from the kicker key . This amp has a continuous power of 120 watts a channel . So now when you divide 120 in half for the front speakers your still getting 60 watts to each speaker vs 25 from the kicker key 200.4 . This is most important to pepole who have upgraded to 6 1/2 pods in the rear as this will give them the required 100 watts to each rear speaker. For a noisy vehicle and convertible to sound good with the top off on the highway this amp has the power you should be using .
The right way to properly do a bronco for best possible sound is to use a 6 channel amp and separate the 4 inch speakers from the kick panel speakers so each speakers is on their own channel . by doing this you can set power and tuneability to each speaker . when speakers are still daisy chained together you can not properly adjust one without effecting the other . Separating the wiring is easy . when using the metra 6 1/2 speaker plugs the outer wires connect to the 6 1/2 speakers and also feed the inner pins that goes to the 4 inch dash speakers. so by cutting the loop going to the inner pins you will have your 4 inch speakers wires already at the kick panel. Now just add some speaker wire from each kick panel to connect your dash speakers to channels 1-2 on the amp . I can also do it for your when buying a kit from me .
Using kit 35 musway 6 channel amp you will have 110 watts continuous power x 6 . You will have the power you need and will sound amazing with or without the top on
i hope this helps to understand what you get with each kit . i am a car guy as well as the owner and i want pepole to pick the right kit the first time and not buy the wrong option and regret it a month later .and have to buy new equipment and rip there car apart again because they picked the wrong kit
