Pre-Install Read

The Bronco's audio system has evolved over time. Initially, non-B&O models lacked a subwoofer, using the space for a small shelf. Ford later added a subwoofer in the trunk area, eliminating the shelf. If you have an early model Bronco, please reach out to us as we offer a mesh grill that requires DIY modifications to the trunk trim to make room for the amp.


SECTION 1 - Front Speaker Upgrade


Step 1: Install Crossover Behind Glovebox

  • Mount the crossover behind the glovebox, using the bar at the top of the cavity.
  • Route the tweeter wire through the glovebox to the top dash.
  • Secure the crossover to the bar with a zip tie.

Step 2: Install Tweeter into Dash

  • Attach fork connectors to the tweeter.
  • Mount the tweeter into the dash using 7mm screws.

Step 3: Install 6.5” Speaker into Kick Panel

  • Attach red connectors to the speaker.
  • Connect the white connector to the OEM Bronco connector.
  • Mount the speaker into the housing using 10mm screws.

Step 4: Install Crossover on Driver’s Side

SECTION 2 - Rear Roll Bar 6.5" Upgrade

  • MTI Pods:
    • Remove the factory connector from the rear roll bar pods using a small flathead screwdriver.
    • Transfer the connector to the MTI pods with the grommet.
    • Mount the pod using the provided hardware, but wait to mount the speaker until the pod is secured.
    • Watch the Trail Seven MTI Rear Pod Installation Video for guidance.

       

Section 3 - 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 Status bundles: the Single V90 Amplifier and the Dual F60 4-Channel / M80 Mono Amplifier. While they are different systems, the installation process for both is the same.

*Please skip the LC5iPro setting Requirements if you have a B&O Bronco.*

LC5iPro Setting Requirements: 

(The LC5iPRO will be preset to the needed dials and switches needed, however it's important to double check the system before playing any music through to prevent issues.)

  • Chanel 1 Load Select:
    • switch all the way up, or to 20 ohms
  • Chanel 1 Signal Bus:
    • Switch up, or to Sum/Bus
  • Chanel 2 Load Select:
    • Switch all the way up, or to 20 ohms
  • Chanel 2 Signal Bus:
    • Switch down, or to Sep.
  • Trigger Mode:
    • Switch to the middle, or to GTO
  • Ground Isolation:
    • Switch all the way up, or to GND
  • Chanel 1 Level:
    • To the 10 O'clock position
  • Chanel 2 level:
    • To the 10 O'clock position
  • AccuBASS:
    • Both to the 2 O'clock position
  • Chanel 3 Level:

Here is the settings that is required for the LC5iPRO to work properly with your non B&O Bronco

 

Amplifier Setting Suggestions

  • Gain Levels:
    Set gain to 0 and radio levels to 0. Gradually increase volume to 75% max. For Channel 1, increase gain slowly until slight distortion is noticed, then lower gain slightly. Follow the same method for the remaining channels. Use radio settings for “salt and pepper” adjustments.
  • CHANNEL 3/4:
    • HP FILTER - ON
    • FREQ.(HZ) - 60HZ or ~8 O'clock
    • GAIN - (Refer to Gain Levels portion above)
    • INPUT CHANNEL - 3/4
  • CHANNEL 1/2:
