I figured I'd start one of these since we're planning on several mods and have some parts already ordered.
Ford Bronco Wife’s EG 2 door. magnums installed PXL_20221103_171644668


Stuff done so far:
Sealed kick panels and installed sound deadening for future woofer install
Added console box upper panel (mabett)
Tint- Autobahn i3 front windows (windshield, doors)
Black unicorn rear emblem
Bronco valve stem caps
Paracord grab handles
GAIA GPS purchase for offroad trail mapping
Installed kicker amp on 3” and tweeter in dash, 6.5” kick
Installed Mabbet MOLLE door panels, retained nets
Installed front mud-flaps
Stickerfab dash stickers, aux switch stickers, fuse box stickers
FPP tune
Magnaflow outlaw fx
SuperbrightLED ditch lights on m2m bracket
Mabbet fender gap covers
IAG v2 steps
DD bumper lights
Bullet antenna
AR Magnum steps
Added resonator to loud ass exhaust
Injen Intake


Planned:
JCR Baha hoop
MOLLE rear panels
Mold unicorn and create CF badge from mold


Engine: (planned)

Air: (planned)
Either ARB dual or CO2 but will probably get a cheaper setup in the interim

Future desires if we overland-

Forged carbon flares
Forged carbon hood

I did create this light map to help plan lighting, it might be helpful for some

Somewhat undecided here, might go down a rabbit hole. Looking to door dedicated woofers in the kicks and maybe a small component system in the dash, either way I will be bi-amping the Key and only supplying power to the fronts. If necessary a sub will be added but I am hoping I can get the bass response I desire from the kicks. I may be using tang-band subs in the kicks but that might require more amp power so some experimentation might be necessary.

I ordered some ABS to make plates for the dash speakers. I'm going to template the opening with cardboard, then cut some acrylic so I can trace the opening and see if something other than a 4" coax will fit in there. Looking to put a 2.5-3" mid and tweeter in there if possible.

It blows my mind looking at some of the installs on Crutchfield where people just drop speakers in a hole with 1" gaps around it and then complain about the sound. At worst I will have a sealed enclosure up top, at best we'll have a solution for 3 way components up front.

Speakers are somewhat sorta figured out, it all depends on what I can squeeze into the dash:

Tweeters:
Either Dayton ND20 or ND25
Mids:
Either: Dayton DMA90,80,70 depending on what fits
Woofers in kick:
Goldwood GW S650

Crossover (for dash)
2700hz 2nd order linkwitz riley
Dayton caps
Jantzen coils

The Kicker key will crossover the woofers at 640 and the dash at 320 electronically so we will have a 3 way system

Woofers- 640hz down
Mids- 320-2700
Highs-2700 up

Cost TBD once the mids and tweets are set but everything including crossover components, a PCB to mount them and some plastic enclosures for them was around $200, actual price figured out once the mids/highs are situated but it's only a few bucks between them. Cheaper than the woofers I was going to put in.

Wiring will be a tad of a pain as I will have to get an extra set of wires to the dash but hopefully they will fish through, there are some large holes up there. I will probably have to mount the crossovers under the dash with the amp but if the enclosures end up being too bulky I'll just wrap the whole thing in electrical tape so it can be jammed somewhere with prejudice.

Everything is in the 90db efficiency range (87-91) so even with the small amp it should be pretty loud.

Underseat sub is in the cards if I can fit one and if it needs it.

Thanks to someone mentioning that the headliner was basically Velcro, finally a place for these patches.

Table is installed, and while I didn't take pics because it's freezing and was outside from 2 to 8 yesterday washing and installing, her kicker key is in. It's set up bi-amp running only the fronts and has done an amazing job making the system more listenable.

Speakers and crossover supplies are ordered.
Dayton 3.5" mids and 3/4" tweeter up top
Goldwood 6.5" woofers in kicks

Will install day before thanksgiving and can get a good feel for them on our drive to Florida.

Also received Rokblokz mudflaps. I'm a dumbass and got some wrong parts and they offered to make it right for shipping costs (it was my fault so that's totally good) but I already ordered what I needed from Mcmaster and will template my own B bracket out of HDPE.

Installed the front rokblokz and built the back.
I was a dumbass and ordered the crashbar version and they were cool and offered to send me the parts for shipping cost but I built my own with pipe grade hdpe and bought some stainless bolts. It’s shinier but I had fun making it and it was easy. I work at a plastic pipe manufacturer so it’s kinda cool having something made of the same stuff on the truck.
