I am just tired of people bashing on this system as it really is not bad. Sadly, most streaming services are lossy, so you get what you pay for. The speaker placement is amazing and provided you don't use a crappy 128kbs source, it sounds good. Good sound systems are balanced, not overwhelmed by bass. Blasting bass for a certain genre of music does not mean a good sound system. I find the 8 speaker B&O system pretty good.
Link for anyone wanting to read the Reddit thread in question But I can’t see any way that replacing the speakers from ****ty stock speakers to JBLs could possibly be a “downgrade” and an “injustice” as they actually described it. It all sounds like uppity, condescending, audiophile bull**** to me, but I wanted to check with you guys here. Essentially multiple users were telling me that I had to buy a $700 amp replacement just to get started and that the $120 speakers I was looking at were not worth even considering because they would somehow sound worse than factory? So I looked through a lot of threads that I found mostly through here and thought that I had most everything figured out for what I was going to buy, so I posted a thread over on Reddit at /r/CarAV and was basically accosted as if my idea to upgrade just the speakers themselves with JBL GTO’s was sacrilege. My base model bone-stock 2015 Tundra had a much better sounding system. It’s apparently just an upgrade amp with a **** sub and factory paper-cone speakers for anyone unaware. Well thats it for now.Hi guys! I just got my new 2022 F-150 Powerboost and I love it to death…but the B&O system is severely disappointing. I bought KnuKonceptz connectors with the screw set. couldnt find my heat gun so I used the toaster over. I cut a piece off to run to battery to the inline fuse all purty like. Ill probably trim some more off after when I decide where the amp lands. And even after I ran the cable all the to the drivers side of the back and left a little slack I cut it and had 5 feet left. It was a 20 foot cable ( I bought a 20 so I would enough left over for a ground wire). I couldnt find it on the inside but then my 15 year old reached up and found it first try! I proceeded to run it down the passenger side in the well underneath the coversthen behind the carpet along the back behind the back seats.
I used a fish tape from outside the truck into the cab. it's hot out there!įord gave us a PERFECT place to run the wire right behind the battery on the firewall with a perfectly places and sized grommet (it will fit 0 gauge for sure too). I absolutely will be changing them in phase 2. I am not changing the stock speakers in the first phase. I am using a Alpine S-W10D4 subwoofer wired to 2OHMĦ. I have a Fox Acoustics ported 10" Fox Boxĥ. I am re-using my Pioneer D9605 amplifier that I had in my last truck (07 Chevy Avalanche) - it's a 5 channel amp with 75x4 (4OHM) and 600x1 (2OHM).Ĥ. I am using HUSH AUDIO CK11 pre-built harness (recommended as it looks freaking clean as hell!)ģ. I have a pretty clear plan, I am just documenting it because you never know if it will help someone else.ġ.
First, I am not looking for advice but its always welcome.
