Sound system upgrade suggestions

[Jak]

The sound system reviews are saying even the LUX package is average at best.

A good quality sound system is important to me, so I would love to hear people's suggestions or plans

2 door Badlands, SAS, LUX

All the complaints about the sound system are in the lux trim on the 4 doors saying it's hallow not load enough that because the speaker are so far back the 2 door should in theory fix this.

I decided to forego the B&O and I'm going to get the JBL soundbar for my 2 door. I think the Broncos problem with the sound system is that you can't have door speakers like a normal vehicle and the way the roll cage is designed there are no speakers by your head like the Wrangler. So I'm just going to upgrade what I can and hope that the sound bar takes care of the rest. With the top off it will be more like a marine setup anyways, so may as well lean into it and make it work.

Why do the JBL and not just put some real pods on the roll bars?

You Cant see out of the back in a 2 door with the sound bar and ford has to reset the stereo deck to make it work.

Is that your sweet Bronco with the sound bar? If so, does it connect with RCA to head unit and also have Bluetooth and 3.5 jack that overide the head unit? Also, is the rest of stereo deck a one time thing?

No not my bronco It's from here https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/thre...almost-every-possible-roof-rack-option.19620/. It connect with Bluetooth. I'm not sure if the rest is a one time thing.

One of my issues with reviews is that folks aren’t even giving the speakers time to break in. Just my opinion though

Probably haven't even changed fluids, either!

I think it connects to head unit via RCA... and Bluetooth/ 3.5 override it . I have not seen anything to suggest otherwise, except people’s speculation. I based it on the JBL sound bar link and Crutchfield links I have posted several times. I am looking for actual specs for the sound bar, or someone that has one. I had dealer add it, and want to confirm it is the same one as listed on JBL and Crutchfield sites . Thanks, though.

I like the sound of air conditioning.

sound problem solved...

Ugh. Sorry for potentially posting misinformation.

Listen to @Tricky Nick - it seems like he has the most research into that piece of equipment.

I'm really hoping the aftermarket comes up with new pods that at least allow for 6.5's or 6x9's in the rear.

Either that, or possibly figuring out some sort of mounting option for wakeboard speakers of some kind. I'd think something like these (and an amp) should totally help balance out the soundstage and also add some more low mids.

They already have quite a few different mount options for these JL's, would think someone should come up with a mounting solution for the "sport" bar:

I haven’t experienced the Bronco sound system first hand, but I’m guessing it will be lacking low end due to the size of the drivers. Hopefully JL Audio makes a stealth box to help with that, or one of the other companies makes something that will fit under one of the front seats. Fiberglass kick panels with a larger driver set may be possible in the front, but there might not be enough footwell.
