Speaker upgrades

[Oceannomad]

Yeah yeah, I haven’t even heard the base speakers yet so why am I looking for upgrades. Well I had a Raptor with the Sony system, then upgraded to one with the B&O and was not impressed. I’m opting not to go with a Lux package on my Bronco so I’m going to purchase aftermarket speakers to enhance the sound. Which brings me to my question, what’s the best speaker set out there in ‘21?

Every ear is different so I'd suggest listening to different options and picking the one that you like best and choosing what fits your price range.

Bookmarking this one. Coming from Ford’s actually really nice 500w “Shaker” system in a mustang, so I assume I’m gonna need to upgrade (maybe a slim powered sub?) but have never delved into that world.

I am excited to see what the enthusiasts are able to explain already (will an amp be necessary? New speakers? Just a sub?), but a LOT more specific will come out once vendors and owners start working with Broncos in person (or if any audio companies have had access already and start to release products soon).

edit: not much came of this thread so far https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/optimal-sound-system-upgrade.15911/

Last system I had installed in an old ‘Stang was some Infinity Kappa ones but that was ages ago. Thanks for all the suggestions.

I'm deeply considering lifting the DynAudio's from my GTI to put into the bronco when it finally shows up, but based on what I saw the other day, i'm not sure the sizes will match up.

I was able to turn the Bronco B&O system up and it sounded better than I anticipated with the soft top down. I would put it closer to the B&O found in the new higher Audi trims than the B&O found in the Ranger.

Not sure if that helps. I would probably look for a speaker with a bit more high end as the sound deadening materials used in the cabin seemed to thin out the highs a bit with the soft top up. Not sure how the sound deadening liner in the hard top will hurt or help.

what size did they look like?

Fronts looked like standard 6.5", but the rears (up on the posts) seemed weirdly small, like 4" diameter
