Speakers update recommendations?

[Browp24]

Hey all,

I recently went on a road trip from NY to Wisconsin traveling mostly on the highway at 80+mph. It made me realize how much I do not like the stock speakers. Anyone have any recommendations for upgrading speakers? I am looking for something that is relatively easy to swap out.

Thanks

any replacement speakers are good compared to stock. I used Kenwood, they do just fine and a inexpensive. some swear by kicker, they are more pricey, some audiophile types will do for nothing less then Focal, which is great, but only if you have 700 to burn for each speaker. if you don't have a sub, add one. its important. I added basspro go from Kenwood, and its great. its removable/portable and can be used as a stand alone Bluetooth speaker (waterproof) as well.
you definitely want to get a dongle and use forscan to up the signal to the rear pods, too.

Thanks for the info...I do not have or wish to spend 700 a speaker...do you have a link to the Kenwood you used?

If you don’t want to add an amp, go with something with high sensitivity like Hertz. Spend the money on the dash and rear, and be sure to add bass blockers to the dash. Next step up would be to get a kicker key 200.4 amp with plugnplaykits.com harness, easy install and powered by head unit. Either way, adding a sub is a game changer as well

Go to crutchfield.com and enter your Bronco in the vehicle section. That will give you multiple options of speakers that are all better than stock. I'm no audiophile but I did replace all 6 of my speakers with Kickers and the improvement is dramatic over stock. Total cost was about $220. If you just do the front and rear 4" speakers, the 4 speaker cost would be lower. The kick panel speaker upgrade does make a difference but, to me, not as much as replacing the 4" speakers.

I agree, also there is a lot of good information in the forum with this topic. The videos are pretty awesome. Going through crutchfield they provide detailed and step by step instructions. I will be doing my upgrade tomorrow. I went with kicker speakers all around, with boom matts and bass blockers in the front. It came to about 200 dollars for everything. Good luck

I replaced all four of the 4" speakers and it made a HUGE difference. I left the stock kick panel speakers just to keep costs down. I also went with the Kicker's from Crutchfield. I love that company.

 

[Browp24]

Thanks all I just ordered them!

 

[Browp24]

Sorry one more question to those who have installed the kicker speakers. In reading the link to the post I also ordered the connectors below. Do you happen to know are these plug and play or do they need to be spliced? What did you use to connect?

Thanks

How did you receive the kick panel mounting ring and harness for free ??? WHOOPS!!! Just realized that these appear as a selection after you select your vehicle

Thanks for this - great knowing the value add of Crutchfield (and of course this awesome forum!) - FREE install stuff!!!!

Just ordered mine!!

** So the included adapter/harness means NO splicing at all right? Literally plug and play? Do they provide TWO harnesses (one for each speaker)? I ask because in my receipt it says only ONE was included. Wondering if I need to buy another one for the other speaker......

There are 2 harnesses in the pack, so you will be set. Crutchfield is pretty awesome, very impressed with them. They are plug and play, pretty easy process overall.
