I have focals in my 75 bronco love them.
I had them in my old Jeep Wrangler, rock crawling concert Hall. But it was a Jeep, The stereo outlasted the vehicle.
I know right. There's a company called OEM AUDIO PLUS, they have the best system upgrade but boy it's expensive. They haven't designed any for the 6th gen as yet.
+1 for for Focal
Not much space in the old bronco. Running wet sounds icon 8 pods swivel on bar. The focal 6.5 coax in middle with focal 5.25 and tweeter in door Ds 1200 amp . highway at 75 top off i could still enjoy my tunes.
Typically the amp boosts signal strength which is how it gets better clarity and why it is also louder. Unfortunately you are still limited by speaker quality as to how good the clarity gets. The next step if it wasn't good enough for you, would definitely be speakers. Alpine speakers are definitely a big improvement, but focal speakers would be a couple steps up from them. Focal speakers are really good for high quality, detailed and accurate audio. But they are also typically more expensive than Alpine.
How does it sound?I got this kit and it was super easy to install, especially thanks to the video that takes all the stress out of getting into the door panels.
One thing I don't like is the nuts & screws supplied for the dash speakers and the directions how they show installing them in the video.
1: The video shows installing the speakers below the bracket. I say this is wrong for at least 2 reasons. 1, the Alpine directions clearly show mounting the speaker on top of whatever surface it's mounted in. and 2, the speaker does not include a spacer gasket to fill the space between the flat surface and the raised lip around the outside perimeter. If you screw that down like that without something solid filling the space, you just bend the steet metal frame of the speaker out of shape.
2: The screws and nuts are just plain screw & nut with nothing to prevent shaking loose over time, and no washer to spread the load from the nut on thefragile acrylic. And you can't use thread locker because that stuff detroys most plastics. It would not risk letting it touch the acrylic or the dash for that matter. Even though it literally comes in a plastic tube, I once destroyed all the screw posts on a big interior car panel made of stuff that looks and feels just like most of the 4runner interior. The blue loctite made the soft black plastic just crumble and fall apart, It's hard to describe. it didn't melt, it changed from being similar to milk jug plastic, to being like crayon,
So I got some M3 screws, flat washers, and lock nuts at lowes. (just a bonus that the new screws are metric like the rest of the truck now) And installed the speaker resting on the top surface of the bracket like this.
I can't comment on that meaningfully. It's louder but I don't know if it's better.
