Life for the anemic Bronco stereo
Russell from KATY, TX on 12/17/2024
2023 Ford Bronco
So I finally got my 2023 Badlands (non B&O w/sub delete) audio system upgraded. What I went with; Alpine PXE-C80-88 8 channel amplifier w/DSP Hertz CX 100 4" dash Hertz C 165 F 6.5" kick Hertz CX 165 6.5" in SSV Works PODS JL Stealthbox 10" sub Channel 1 & 2 (Hertz CX 100): HPF @ 400Hz Channel 3 & 4 (Hertz CX 165): HPF @ 100Hz - LPF @ 400Hz (bandpass) Channel 5 & 6 (Hertz C 165 F): HPF @ 100Hz Channel 7 (JL Audio Stealthbox®): LPF @ 100Hz I am glad I did. The stereo is AMAZING! I don't want bass that rattles my fillings out, but I do want to feel it... more specifically I want to feel like I did when I was at a live concert. This setup delivers, period. I feel that going with the mid range woofer in the kick panel (Hertz C 165F) and the mid to high range speaker (Hertz CX 100) in the dash is a MUST! If someone doesn't have the money for a sub yet, but this stock system is making you regret buying your Bronco...consider putting the mid range 6.5" in the kick, and possibly swap out the dash and pods (even w/quality 4" speakers). Run everything through a LOC and into the Kicker Key.... that alone should make a difference on a reasonable budget. IMHO, most of the previous upgrades so far left out one important item.... the LOC. The Kicker Key has a DSP, but if you are not summing the whole into it first, you will suffer from the stock EQ..... that's like trying to run a marathon on your knees. Don't do it.
Pros: Great lower mid-range bass, completes the sound stage
Cons:

Perfect for the price point! They provide the perfect amount of rear fill in my C5 Corvette.
