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.


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

  • 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

Trail Seven Rear Pods: Your Trail Seven rear pods arrive ready to install: the Alpine Status HDZ-65 speakers are already mounted, the pods are already sound treated, and a new connector is already attached. There's nothing to assemble.

  1. Remove the factory rear roll bar speaker as shown in the video.
  2. Loosen the top factory metal bracket on top of the roll bar. Raptor: this is a tight fit. Push the front of the pod up first, then lower it into position.
  3. Connect the speaker connector.
  4. Insert the provided top bolts into the speaker pod and hand tighten.
  5. Insert the factory bolt into the side of the roll bar and hand tighten.
  6. Tighten the top bolts (factory and new), then tighten the side bolt.
  7. Repeat on the other side.

Section 3 - Amp Adjustments:


Please Note:
For B&O Broncos, the PAC AAMPRO module is used and 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.

Set gain the same way on every amp (5 steps): front, then rear, then sub.

  1. Turn the gain you're setting to minimum.
  2. Play a song you know. Raise the radio volume until it distorts, about 75%.
  3. Lower the radio one step, until clean. Leave it there.
  4. Slowly raise the amp gain until the speakers distort.
  5. 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.
