I still have my dad's "Bay City Rollers", "Three Dog Night" and "KC and the Sunshine Band" 8 tracks. He converted a 1974 Ford van into his version of a 70's hippy cruiser. Carpet everywhere, mirrored black out windows and an 8 track player. The first cassette I ever owned was Def Leppard. Bought it after my dad finally got a car with a cassette player.I’m old enough to remember pulling 8 track and cassette tapes out of the player
I have one of these with a home adaptor and it still works.I’m old enough to remember pulling 8 track and cassette tapes out of the player
I was early adopter of Craig Powerplay, I believe one the first after market amplifiers.
The B & O is a little more difficult (expensive) to upgrade. You need this conversion device before adding an amp.
I've been studying the doors for this exact point. Don't see speakers. So I think you're right. Meaning the woofers are likely in the dash. Wonder how that sounds. Not used to that... ?
Yikes. This will be a lot more expensive of an upgrade than I thought then. Thanks for sharing....
No doubt . . . I think it should be a pretty decent systems for a factory set-up - at least I hope so. I would have added it as a stand alone just because I'd want to added volume and bottom end with the top off - but it's a moot point seeing it is with the LUX package anyway, which I also planned to order because I have been spoiled by the adaptive cruise . . .
The B&O is “tuned” specifically to the Bronco through DSP. I‘m older and most of my music was cut for vinyl and really does go much below 40 Hz. So, I’m not a boom, boom person. In my Audi I have the B&O system and to my tastes provides a nice bass fill in with 8“ subwoofer. But the youth who grew up on heavy bass think it’s anemic. GUESSING if you want to supplement with another sub you could use aux switches to off/on separate amp.
Front speakers are in kick panels, possible tweeters in dash
Guy's over on the Raptor Forums discovered this when they tried upgrading their systems in 18 Raptors. They thought it was the same as the Sony systems in the 17's, but quickly discovered they wouldn't work properly without the converter.
The size of the dash grills suggest they may be about 4 inch. On the B & O, there's likely coaxials in the kick panel locations. There are only 8 physical locations.
Questions, questions....I'm sticking with my original guess, base, R-L dash, kick panels, rear pod.
I saw these in person. I was a bit disappointed in how small the rear pods are. I'd be surprised if those have a coaxial, since rears tend to be more of a filler than carrying most of the weight. I'd expect the coaxials in the kick panels down low to get a bit more bass, much like in the Mustang.
