Just ordered kit 11. You're not far away in CT...do you do installs too?If anyone needs any help at all choosing a kit or has any questions you can message right through the site or give me a call at 203-889-1843 I’m extremely busy and don’t have too much time to check the forums but I’m willing to help anybody who needs help
Now that you mention it, there likely is room under the steering column. That might be an easier place to mount it.Great video op!! Just ordered kit 11, can't wait to hear some sound out of the rear speakers!!
I read on some post that the key amp will fit under the steering column, hoping to mount it there.
Yup, that is a better location.Here is the link to some pics of mounting the Key amp on the steering column.

Bronco6g....I installed a Kicker Key 200.4 amp in my BaseSquatch today and it made a HUGE difference. It was a straight forward install that took about an hour and a half. The install was made easy because of the harness from plugnplaykits.com. There was no need to cut, splice or drill anything. As you will see in the video below, it litterally was a plug and play operation.
The Kicker Key amp has a build-in automatic DSP that fixes Ford's terrible signal as well as adding 50 watts per channel. The combination is amazing. I have a nice 3 way component speaker set waiting to install in the front and now I'm not even sure I will bother. That is just how big of improvement this is.
I have suspected that Ford is intentionally degrading the sound quality of the base system in an effort to get customers to upgrade to the B&O. These amp and more importantly the smart DSP that is integrated in it really brings the entire stereo to life. Spend you money on this before you spend it on speakers. Good speakers can't fix low power and poor signal.
I put together a quick installation video but wasn't able to show the self tuning step because I needed my phone to play the kicker pink noise DSP turning track. If you want to see that step other installation videos show you how to do that.
Edit: the harness and amp are "Kit 11". Here is the direct link to the bronco kits.

I ordered mine over the weekend, went with the Kit that also included the 10hs powered sub.Bronco6g....
Now sold out! LOL!
So the all in cost Amp included was 385, plus the piece of scrap plastic for mounting? I was wondering why the kit was so expensive, but sounds like it includes the 4 channel amp from Kicker. Thanks for sharing this, great option to have.Correct, It was "Kit 11":

I really don't have a parts list. Kit 11 comes with the Kicker Key 200.4 amp and plug n play harness. The only other part I used was a scrap of HDPE plastic that I had laying around. That was what I screwed the amp to and then screwed the plastic to the dashboard support.
