#TEAMDS18 rolled deep into the LeConte Center in Pigeon Forge for this year’s Smoky Mountain Bronco Stampede. Tennessee is always one of our favorite spots every year. Let’s go behind the scenes of the Stampede, to see exactly how DS18 turned Tennessee into the loudest stage in the nation!
Welcome to the Smoky Mountain Sound Showdown
Bronco fans from across the country congregated in Tennessee for the LOUDEST Bronco event in The Old South! The moment doors opened, the experience began. Vendors set up. Families rolled in. And #TEAMDS18 sounded off.
The Stampede is about community. That’s why we always fit right in. The Smokies is the perfect backdrop for an audio experience. Demo vehicles loaded with professional-grade DS18 systems circled the venue. Our specialists were on deck all weekend, walking Bronco owners through upgrades, answering questions, and revealing their essential audio picks for the Ford Bronco.
Where DS18 Stole the Spotlight
We owned the LeConte Center. Our booth felt like the main stage of the event. And before long, the crowd felt like it too!
The Bronco That Brought The Buck
Mr. DS18’s Mega Bronco rolled up on 40-inch tires, sitting pretty on a 6-inch lift. Every inch of this Bronco was built to flex. We loaded it with top-shelf DS18 gear: the same setups any trail-ready Bronco can run.
Getting LOUD is Easy in Bronco’s
There’s no secrets behind building a Bronco that sounds like this. All you need is DS18: every component used is purpose-built and ready to install.
- BRO-FD-LR Front Door Panels — swap your stock setup for panels that drop in 6.5” mids and bullet tweeters with zero cutting.
- BRO-BASS Subwoofer Enclosure — ported and preloaded with the IXS12 shallow-mount sub, it fits in the rear cargo space without giving up room for gear.
Tuned to Perform
DS18 dialed this Bronco in every step of the way. Our sound techs were crawling into their builds to push their setups further. The DSP at the heart of our Bronco gave us full control. This is what happens when your team loves the gear as much as they love the scene. It’s how you take unbeatable audio and make it unforgettable.
The Gear That Made the Ground Shake
DS18's dominance at the Bronco Stampede stemmed from their professional tier hardware engineered specifically for off-road lovers. Display tables showcased cutting-edge audio components designed exclusively for Ford's iconic SUV, each piece delivers superior performance under harsh trail conditions.
DS18 BRO-SBAR Overhead Bar System
This soundbar owned the back half of our Bronco.
- Four 8” NXL-IQ speakers in the rear for chest-thumping output
- Two 6.5” mids + two super tweeters facing forward for full-cabin coverage
- UV-protected, all-elements-ready, and pre-wired for RGB LED lighting
Installs directly using factory mounts.
BRO-BASS Tailgate Subwoofer Enclosure
Need bass that breaks necks? This one did it all weekend.
- Loaded with the IXS12.4D shallow sub — 800W RMS / 1600W MAX
- Ported design tuned to hit at 30–45Hz, right in the gut-punch zone
- Built tough with IP-rated housing to handle real off-road life
Slides into your tailgate space with a clean fit — no custom box needed.
BRO-FD-LR Front Door Speaker Panels
Time to upgrade those factory doors.
- Fits any DS18 6.5” speaker + 2.9” tweeter
- Drops right into factory anchor points
- Built from durable, UV-protected ABS for the trail and the heat
It’s the cleanest path to front-stage clarity, with that DS18 flex.
Tower-Ready & Trail-Proof
Our tower speaker setup turned heads — and got people dancing in the parking lot.
- NXL-X10TPNEO tower speakers pump 900W MAX with deep mids and crisp highs
- IP65 marine rating makes them fully waterproof, mudproof, and trail-proof
- RGB-lit, neodymium-powered, with 360° rotation for total control
Mounted on the BRO-TUBE, a gloss-black, stainless clamp system that bolts straight to your Bronco roll bar. Clean wire routing included.
Add that concert-on-the-go energy to your open-air rides.
