That is what an aftermarket system is supposed to look like. Clean, not in your face, but everything is displayed perfectly. Well done!
Thanks
Amazing install! That box is the thing dreams are made of. So clean and well done......I'm blown away. Would love to have something like that in my ride!
Thanks!! It is beautiful in person!
It’s hard for the regular person to understand how much work goes into a system like this. I love your guys’ videos for showing in detail the processes we go through from design to reality.
Yeap, you know but most of the world has no idea. Now just imagine the 99% of stuff that was cut from the video that they never see, lol. Hopefully this help people appreciate the efforts and understand the right way to go about things.
I’ve got the same front stage in my ride, my girlfriend sat in my car over 2 hours after the shop worked over 30 days back in 2016.
She cried and never realized music should sound this good. Country music piped in through her iPhone. She vowed she’ll never turn on her radio for the rest of her life because of my Focal K2 Power and my my ultra pristine sounding Pioneer Stage 4 DEXP99RS CD Tuner, lol. .
I was hoping to see it powered on. Unbelievable build! Just WOW.
Here you go

Getting to hear this thing in AZ & now getting to watch the amount of effort sage & nathan put into this thing is truly amazing. Good shit fellas 👊🏼
Thanks Terry!! Appreciate the watch and glad you got to hear it in AZ 👍
That Box looks AMAZING. Thanks for allowing all of us to watch the manufacturing of it.
Our pleasure!
That looks incredible.
Oh wow... another Mosconi and Focal install. The variety of your builds is fantastic.
Thanks for checking them out!!
The finished product is amazing !! Definitely a beast in your profession!
Thanks!!!! We appreciate it
Audio Artwork ! WOW ! Incredible Build !
Thanks!!!
I believe this is the Bronco that Nick Wingate was telling me about! This looks amazing!
I really appreciate you all taking the time to show the details that go in to this. I'm currently building my 2003 Ford Ranger Raptor conversion, which is sponsored by JBL (Arena-X...omg!...lol!), and I hit a wall when it came to some design issues. Thanks to you, I was able to pick up just a few simple things that got me out of the builder's block! LOL!
Yes....it's a real medical term....LOL!
Thank you!
Appreciate it!! Hopefully you get a chance to hear it in person one day
Man, I used to install stereo systems, back in the day before all this computer stuff. It's amazing what you can do now. This video is awesome. I can't wait to one day deck out my new Bronco.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I wish I had access to a shop these days. One day again, maybe. Thanks.
You guys do amazing work. Awesome install
Thanks!
Thats on hell of a system, 300 pounds of audio equipment installed for musical bliss. Lots of headroom id say must sound amazing 👏 😉 👌 great job guys
Couldn't agree more!
You gents are truly doing the Lord's work. I really enjoyed the vid! I am going to scan for any pickup truck builds in your library
Thanks!!
Sick as always guys , focal gave you guys a task and you knocked it out
Thanks!!
Gorgeous install!!
Thanks!
magnificent work, congratulations!
Thanks
I love that you guys have now tied the next video in the series to your outro so viewer can click on it and not have to search for it.
Yes, I wanted it to be easy for everyone. Next week, I will post this whole video uncut to make it even easier
soooooo sick love the ports and the design is primo love it
Thanks Jay!
Thank you for using real music 🙏
Awesome build!
Thanks!!!
Amazing work as always keep up the good work all I can say is wow that’s nice makes me won’t to re do my system
Thanks!
Incredible work I'm glad I got to see it in AZ but I didn't get the chance to listen to it especially with it being on the main floor lol. That cutter is really a handy tool I guess the most time is the programming and then of course the installation and fitment. I hope that young man is soaking it all in to his advantage because all that is a artistry. Remember it uses to be two subs in a box and a amp a head unit and everyone was cool ha!
Glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully the next show you will get a chance to hear it!
Amazing build .
Thanks!
Good factory speaker locations.
That came out swell....nice build...front door mid bass were bummer...but hey sometimes no is best way to go....👍
So Clean
Thanks!
STUNNING !!!!!!!!!!! WOW, Sure wish this could be seen at SBN, Those were the days ! This would kill it in ISACA Sound Q
Thanks!! It is a pretty amazing system
Amazing build saw it at the expo .
Hope you got a chance to hear it!!
Your the best
is a very good job looks o so good
Thanks
Looks like a really amazing job. I'd love to have you do something for my 2-door Bronco.
Thanks! Let's go crazy with the two door :)
@@SoundsGoodStereo That sounds fantastic already. I love the enthusiasm. When it arrives, hopefully not too much longer, I'm going to give you guys a call. You're only about 3 hours from me.
Супер проект!👍👍👍
Love the work, design, and equipment choices; but OMG the weight of all that!
Thanks!! Yes, added weight in the name of the ultimate stereo system :)
@@SoundsGoodStereo Copy that!
Nice!
Thanks!
Clean
Appreciate it!
WOW AMAZING AUDIO MACHINE TOTAL SQ POWER CLEAN LUXURY TANKS
THE BEST NEVER REST
🏁🏆🏁🎼👍🥇
Thanks!!!
Nice
Thanks
I just bought 4 6.5” k2 focals and 1 3.5” focal and have 4 focal tweeters. With 2 kicker 12” subs. I’m ripping my entire new car apart and sound proofing it now. Issue is that it’s my daily driver.
Absolutely love everything about this incredible install, can't even begin to fathom how awesome it must sound!!!
Glad you like it! It's pretty wild to listen to! It will be at Mastertech next week :)
Unbelievable system. I may have missed it but my only question is how did you get the signal from the infotainment system out to the amps? I would like to think there was an adaptor that you used in a harness but I'm sure that would have been too easy. Great job. I LOVE all the details!!!!
We custom make a T-Harness for the Bronco that provides us the appropriate signal to amplify.
soundsgoodstereo.com/collections/2021-2023-ford-bronco-with-non-amplified-factory-system-1/products/custom-radio-integration-t-harness-for-base-model-vehicles-compatible-with-2021-ford-vehicles
Those dash mounted plates are fantastic. If you can fabricate that with a new cover I'd purchase it in a heart beat. Please think about selling those.
Dope.
Appreciate it
Nice install!! I’m surprised more shops that have all the equipment don’t do things like A pillars for specific popular vehicles besides just the trucks I mean there has to be thousands of Jeep Grand Cherokee’s out there like mine hint lol
It more of how many Jeep guys are wanting a bad ass system with pillars. Then, can they be replicated without the vehicle present and look factory every single time. Maybe one day we can make it happen 👍
any update vids now that you changed it up to K2M Power series?
Beautiful 3 part video installation. Great work guys! Can I ask what an audio upgrade like this cost? I have a Bronco WildTrak on its way and I'm a DJ and need some bass in my life LOL
You can assume $25k-40k on this build. The variables would be how much of the cosmetics you want and this exact build would be closer to the $40k mark.
Uauu men very good😨
Awesome Work! I have a 2021 Ford Ranger Tremor Lariat with the B&O system. I am in Lebanon, TN just outside Nashville and would be interested in seeing what you all could do with it. Not looking for anything crazy though. Thank You!
We have a Ranger lined up for next month. Not sure exactly what we will do, but it will sound good when we are done. Reach out to us and we can explain how we go about system packages.
I will reach out. I would love to see what you all do to the other ranger if you plan on making a video. Thank you!
As I rewatch while taking a break...you guys have all the cool tools..cnc etc.....but most important is you guys work in shop with AC ...or so it seems correct?
Yes, after 10 years in Miami without AC, we now how it... We put in our time of sweat in crazy heat, now we are spoiled :)
Thats beautiful, but does the stock radio have a good enough sound card in it to make use and do justice to all of that? That was the issue I had in my 2020 tacoma with that K2 elite series.
Some factory radios do and others do not. In the newer Ford platforms, we give it a 8 out of 10 in performance. Which is really good considering you are not changing the radios in these trucks.
Damn man I watch the full series, and was hoping to see it play at the end that was a big tease. LOL just kidding maybe in a future video
Wish we could provide 1/10th of the performance over a GoPro microphone trust me, we would... It will be traveling to trade shows across the country in the Focal/Mosconi booth, so if you have the chance, stand in line and take a listen!!!
@@SoundsGoodStereo definitely, do you know if it will make it to any of the shows in Florida..im in the sunshine state.
Maybe, but just follow the Focal America social media and see if they are planning on taking it to the shows in your area
first class
Just watched this again to see if Sage goes into the time alignment. After hearing him mention to Dean during an interview in Orlando, I've been curious about the process Sage used to
allow the rear fill to pull the left and right 'back'. It would be cool if ya'll could include a small breakdown on this process in a future video.
Thanks for watching. I will talk with Sage and maybe I can get him to go through his process and film it. Great idea
I would still love to hear Sage's process, but I think I figured out a method.
Fade full front and find my center/staging.
Move the sound to full right and adjust the level for the rear speakers to just audible, then adjust timing until it sounds like the rear has blended with the front.
Switch to full left and repeat process.
Move the Fade/Balance to center and it sounds, to my ears, like everything is front with a center image, just fuller. Turning my head makes the rears much more noticeable, but facing front, they aren't obvious.
The time and effort that goes into something like this… just wow.
I ordered the Bandlands Bronco with the mid package so I could go to town on the sound system (heard the B&O is lacking..)
Would you ever mass produce these? 🙏🏻😇
Take my money!!!
When you get your Bronco, let us know and we can make it happen for you. If you want something amazing, ship the Bronco to us and let us do our magic.
@@SoundsGoodStereo thanks for the reply. Sweet! I definitely will. Where are you located?
Just outside of Nashville, TN
Looks fantastic, I am guessing additional weight wasn't a factor at all.
No, this was literally a science experiment, not a normal consumer build. The goal was to build the best sounding live concert vehicle ever conceived and the Bronco was the platform to push these limits
bonjour ello super travaille fooocal français
Awesome build. What would a project like this cost if it wasn’t a demo vehicle?
$30-50K average
Nice build guys, lots of amps, and distribution, it's the box considered, a series sixth, or just close, looks like it could be ?? Just wondering ,love the show ,and the content !!
If the subs were not slanted, it would probably react like a 6th. But in this case and listening to it, it performed like a traditional vented enclosure.
Thanks for checking it out!!
I hope you guys plan to market and mass produce those dash-mounted speaker plates!!! I think you would sell a ton of them! I know i would buy one!
We will try our best to make it happen, but not sure right now. In a few weeks we will know for sure.
@@SoundsGoodStereo - Have you guys made a decision on this yet? I haven’t seen anything on your website.
Let us know when you guys make a decision on this! We are ready and willing to provide free advertising by “blowing you guys up” on social media and within the Bronco community at large for this desired accessory! Whether or not this accessory is available will definitely impact which components i choose and the configuration of my front end!
How do I get a set of those dash pods?
That’s some insane custom work. 👏🏽 What does something like this cost generally? I’m getting a Bronco but do know they suck of market. Do wanna have some good sounds in my Bronco
No idea, but well above $50K
Do you have any videos on the 5th Gen. Ram 1500?
Here is the only Ram video we have right now:
th-cam.com/video/QiekuOEOji8/w-d-xo.html
Amazing build. The box design is next level. Subscribe to see more builds.
Does base Bronco radio output low frequencies or does the factory roll off, requiring coding with Forscan? I have a JL powered 12 , connected high level to fronts , seem to have very little low bass extension even when crossed over at the lowest setting (50hz). Sounds like 100hz..thanks
You need to turn off the EQ with ForScan or use a signal correction device, currently two companies make them. The Kicker KeyLoc or the JL Audio Fix.
@@SoundsGoodStereo thank you. I’ve followed this, however you can see both before and after the adjustments in Forscan, the front signal peaks @68-80hz and rolls of sharply below.
Maybe the Key Loc will help
www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/jl-audio-fix-86-base-audio-measured-flat-front-rear-forscan-settings.50301/
EDIT: I need to make sure the EQ setting changed on 727-01-02, otherwise I’ve got another issue. It’s a sealed powered 12” JL , poor low bass extension but plenty mid. Should have done custom. 🤪
Do we get to see the finished amp rack behind the seats?
At the next show, we will grab some photos. It was trimmed out like the rest of the install with some cool laser cut parts. It was 4am in the morning when this was finished, so we were tired and didn’t feel like being TH-cam commentators lol.
How was the mid bass? I’ve heard these broncos can create some crazy mid bass
Midbass was decent, better than expected. We utilized a DSP to bring the subwoofer to the front with time delay, then raised the crossover on the subs to help reinforce that frequency range. In the end, it worked out great.
I just got my "in production" email from Ford for my Wildtrak. I would love to have Ford ship my Bronco straight to you instead of Charleston, SC...killer install. Did you create a custom mount for the 4" Focal ES 100K mid/tweeter for the rear pod speakers?
Yes, we added a tweeter location for the rear, but used the factory pod to house the 4-inch. Works great and no need to change the rear pod.
@@SoundsGoodStereo Do you sell the custom dash adapter that houses both the Focal 3" mid and tweeter?
Are those 6.5 speakers sealed in the kicks or i.b ?
I believe they are sealed, but do not expect amazing results from this location. Finding the correct speaker, power and tuning of the system as a whole will help.
I would have tossed sound treatment behind the 6 1/2's and added foam to the ring front and back to reduce vibration.
We did, all of the above. The speakers were actually installed / uninstalled several times and this was the best video section I could find for the video.
Are you guys selling the dash adapters?
Not the ones in the video at the moment. Too much labor to make it economic since we are so busy with other products. As we build more of them and find a smoother path of production, we might offer them
3k watts on the front stage. Didn't know the K2's could handle that much power. WOW
In the right hands, it’s something to experience! Since this build, we have also applied this to the Utopia line also. Incredible!!
How are you powering this on a stock alternator?
It's a demonstration vehicle that attends trade shows. So it will always be inside, engine off when playing. So we integrated a power supply into the Bronco to run the system and maintain the batteries.
Does the owner of the Bronco need to upgrade his Alternator? And what was the final price for everything? TY
No, this build is a demonstration vehicle, not a daily driver. So 99% of the time the Bronco will be off and on a power supply. If this was a customer vehicle, we would reduce down the subwoofer power slightly to make sure the electrical is stable. Here is a video of how this vehicle is going to be used:
th-cam.com/video/Tgod67tCkoU/w-d-xo.html
How much time did something like this take?
Around 200 hours, two people. A lot of “unknowns” which is Part of custom and doing things the right way as you seen in the video.
How much is cost for this system all components box and install ???
Around $25K in gear/parts plus another $20K in labor, tuning, fabrication, etc. So somewhere around the $45K mark if I had to add it up in my head. As we do more of them, the labor would come down as it's no longer a "one-off" build. If we do two at once, you can save around 40% just on the labor alone.
Looks awesome question what happened to scott
He relocated to Georgia with his family. No longer part of Sounds Good Stereo 👍 thanks for checking out the video!!
How do i get a set of those dash pods?
We can build them. It's 2-days of labor plus materials, around $1400 shipped
What price is this install roughly for the gear and labor and how long did the install take? I might buy another car just for a high end audio system. My brand new cars that are super expensive the manufacturer won't let you touch the audio because it's all integrated into the computer system and they will void your whole warranty. I had this happen on my GLS Mercedes SUV custom build from the manufacturer. I upgraded to Bang & Olufsen system but still could be much better.
High-end systems range from $18k-35k and this one, exactly like you see it would be around the $35k mark.
@@SoundsGoodStereo how are you working around car manufacturers warranty and voiding it with aftermarket systems installed? Mercedes told me that because connected to center console computer with radio that controls everything. Cost not an issue. How long do installs take start to finish?
If everything is plug & play, no splicing of wires, it will not void the warranty. Also, understanding the data networks helps with proper integration. Example of something we ran into a few years back:
BMW I8, we did a full system and customer wanted us to add his new exhaust to the vehicle he purchased. We told the customer no, but eventually agreed to help him out as he is a great client of ours.
After a few months, a service light came on and he took it to BMW for service. When they tried to connect to the vehicle, they could not. So we went to the dealership, unplugged everything stereo related and still same issue. No idea what it could be until a BMW tech called and said the exhaust system was causing CAN/Data corruption. The exhaust connects to the data connection to change the tones of the exhaust. After disconnecting the exhaust from the vehicle, everything worked as it should. This exhaust even though designed for the I8, obviously was either defective or not truly compatible. We are not performance exhaust guys, we did not know any batter.
At first, BMW wanted to blame the stereo as they are intimidated by it, but in the end, it was a different aftermarket accessory that caused the issue.
So as you could imagine, we do not say "yes" anymore customer requests that we are not familiar with. I'm sure if we specialized in BMW aftermarket exhausts, we would have known immediately what the issue was, but it's the saying "no good deed goes unpunished".
We are integration specialists in the stereo aftermarket sector, it's what we do and we understand not only how to integrate properly, but the products we choose are ones that will not cause issues like above. No shortcuts to reliability.
....when your car stereo costs as much as a Honda Civic!
Beautiful build.
So true!
Hello, how much power have you got running to a single sub ?
We have 1K RMS going to each subwoofer
@@SoundsGoodStereo is that to much power as the sub is rated at 600watts? Only asking as I have one and trying to fiqure how much power I should go for :)
It all depends on who is setting up the amplifier. On music, your subwoofer is not going to receive 100% of the power, all of the time... But a improper setup amplifier could increase the average amount of power which could cause issues. If its setup with test instruments (not ears) then you will be good. If your installer is just guessing on the settings, then do not over power anything.
If only you could do a short demo ... I know a lot of use would highly appreciate... nice work though
Awesome work guys! If I could nitpick anything...I wouldn't really lol. Perhaps more thorough on the deadening and dampening and use of wire ferrules... You guys are Killin it! Kinda curious how the midbass drivers will look on the RTA with these drivers given their t/s parameters vs the lack of space behind the opening. Obviously you can't cut the car lol. Top level work though!
Thanks!! The midbass is actually not in a tiny enclosure, it is chambered into the body frame from what we can tell. We used an impedance meter to test to be sure.
Not sure what you mean by more thorough on the deadening? We didn't show all of the doors being done, but they were off-camera.
We have always been up in the air on wire ferrules as in theory it would reduce the surface area which would provide us fewer contact points over the stranded wire when put into the screw-down terminal on the amplifiers. It looks great, but we need someone to convince us it is better performance, not just look better.
😍🥰😍❗
I wonder how much $ a build like that cost.
Alot :)
You dropped it... Now step on it 🤣🤣🤣
hahaha
@@SoundsGoodStereo hey, have you integrated DAP's to stereo systems? Like Astell Kern or DAP's in general. Something that doesn't link via Bluetooth, but plugged in wires.
Yes, we have done it many times. It's up to the customer on how they would like to play their music and we do not force anyone to change that. But of course having a DAP loaded with great music is a good idea.
@@SoundsGoodStereo I am an old school type, cd's, and still play my Denon Rockford Deck from the 90's.
Fiddled with Pioneer top end in 2015, just didn't like the preamp, and sonic signature of the unit. Also Alpine could be better, still doesn't match the Denon. What are the head units that comes recommended today? Perhaps I'll run the DAP to a passive pre?
Head units... What are those? lol... Go with a Astell & Kern and that is your new head unit
I just found this channel and let me tell you -OMG - please colab with Soundman and EXO and BIG D WIZ.
Thanks! Maybe one day we will make it happen
I can't even imagine what this cost to have done
More than the Bronco costs 🤯
wheres the final build
49:48 Project Overview
we didn’t get hear what it sounds
It would be like listening to a live concert someone recorded with their phone… It will not do it justice, just have to hear it or one of our cars in person to understand what the system does.
Man you do some beautiful work and awesome assembly. BUT GUYS PLEASE DO YOUR LUNGS A FAVOR…. Use respirators when working with MDF or sanding…I hate being “the safety guy” but please MDF and filler dust is just about the worst carcinogenic stuff and it will damage your lungs…
Why spend that much money on that focal line . Should of used utopia m
Application and purpose
Very Nice !!!!!
