Pre-Install Read (For 2025+ Bronco Only with B&O)
Ford Bronco B&O audio amp wiring differs by model year: Pre-2025 requires our T-harness connected at the factory radio for front-to-back speaker wiring; 2025+ uses integrated rear OEM harness only.
- Older models (pre-2025): The B&O amplifier requires running a new speaker wire T-harness from the amp (rear) to the head unit (front), connected at the factory radio, bypassing the OEM setup.
- 2025 and newer models: The updated B&O OEM amplifier integrates fully with the existing rear wiring harness—no need to run new wires to the head unit. The original harness is retained entirely in the rear.
This change simplifies installations on newer Broncos while older ones still need the front-to-back T-harness.
Amp Adjustments:
Please Note: The LC5iPro is for non-B&O Broncos. For B&O Broncos, the PAC AAMPRO module is used instead, and it requires no settings adjustments, except for the alert chime. Instructions for the alert chime can be found in the PAC AAMPRO installation and owner’s manual.
There are two available amp systems for the Dual Kicker Amps: the 4 channel is the 360.4 Amplifier and the mono amplifiers have choice between the 800.1 Mono or 1200.1 Mono Amplifier. While they are different systems, the installation process for both is the same.
Amplifier Settings
Your PAC module (B&O) or AudioControl LC5i Pro (Non-B&O) ships pre-set by Trail Seven. Leave it as shipped. Before setting the amp, turn the vehicle off and start every gain at minimum.
Amp Settings Instructions & Diagram (PDF): LINK
Amp Wiring Schematic: LINK
Set gain the same way on every amp (5 steps): front, then rear, then sub.
- Turn the gain you're setting to minimum.
- Play a song you know. Raise the radio volume until it distorts, about 75%.
- Lower the radio one step, until clean. Leave it there.
- Slowly raise the amp gain until the speakers distort.
- Back the gain off slightly until it sounds clean. Done.
Start with the radio's bass, mid and treble at 0, sound enhancements off, and balance and fade centered. Once gain is set, use the radio's EQ for "salt and pepper" adjustments.
