Sound system upgrade

[Dbraptor]

I’m looking at the easiest way to upgrade speakers. I see some people have added those very small kicker amps. Has anyone done it on the Braptor? Also anyone change out the subwoofer yet? I gotta use the stock box or something similar since I don’t have any space in cargo area.

I know next to nothing when it comes to upgrading speakers, but I know that the bronco needs some better ones! Following to see why solutions people have come up with.

"Search", function works great.

I have. But not enough info.

I and another friend in the Chicagoland Broncos group went with these to replace the pod speakers. They have the option to add kicker speakers in the pods.

I’ve seen those. But not sure if they will fit in the Braptor the rear cross bar.

Ohhh.... you're right, I think they state not compatible with Brappy and 2 Drs. Sorry!

Our admin has these, not sure if they'll fit the Brap though either.

I upgraded 4" speakers with Pioneer, and an added Infinity subwoofer from Crutchfield, sound is awesome!

I'm leaning towards some sort of wake tower speakers if I am not happy with my sound - seems more and more likely that's gonna be the case. Not even sure if I can get them squeezed in but if I need a custom bracket made I've got a few resources that can help.

FYI the sound system is exactly the same between the Raptor and the normal Bronco.

If you have the High package, you have the same 7-speaker (or 6-speaker with sub delete) that comes in the standard Bronco. And if you have the Lux package you have the same B&O system that comes in other Lux packaged Broncos. Nothing special about the Raptor... so any of the threads you see out there are applicable for the Raptor as well.

If all you are looking to do is swap some speakers around, that can be done fairly easily. If you are looking to go beyond that and install amplifiers and whatnot... that is MUCH easier to do with the High package than it is with the Lux package. The Lux package has a Digital Signal Processor, and working around that is simply more complicated and costly.

Thanks for the info. I just want better speakers and sub. So if I do those small kicker amps I should be good.

• Audiofrog GS42: Link
• Bronco 4" Speaker Speaker Swap Wiring Set - with 300Hz Bass Blockers (bass blockers in front): Link
• Design Engineering 050310 Boom Mat Speaker Baffles, 4" Round: Link

6.5” Kick speakers:

• JL Audio C2650 woofer and crossovers only in kick panels: Link
• Metra Electronics 72-5602 4-Way Speaker Harness Connector: get with Crutchfiled speaker order (Link) or on Amazon: Link
• Metra 82-5605 Speaker Mounting Brackets: get with Crutchfiled speaker order (Link) or on Amazon: Link

I haven't messed with the sub yet.

Note: my objective was the crossovers built into the Audiofrogs, and the crossover for the kick woofer.

I have a loopback harness that plugs right into your radio, which lets you put an amp in line with your existing speakers. No speaker wire splicing or any of that. Amp can go under your seat and be done in an hour or two. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/head-unit-t-harness-loopback-for-your-6g-bronco.73299/

MTI makes a raptor specific rear speaker pod. I swapped those out and put Focal 6.5s in them, did the same with the kick panels, and then put 4" FOCALs in the dash.

I am in the midst of changing out the factory sub with an 8" kicker they make for small enclosures, and then add a kicker 500.1 key amp.
