B & O Sound system dissapointing

[shadow]

I'm a bit of a stereo buff so I opted for the B & O stereo upgrade in my '22 It was approx $1200 option and includes a 9 speaker system including a 10" sub in the trunk. I was expecting satisfaction but instead was disappointed. I should have asked the dealership to let me listen to it before I bought it.

Have 9 speaker system in my '20, ridiculous how poor it sounds.

A lot of people think the B&O is lackluster. General consensus is the cheap fix is a new shallow mount sub like a Pioneer TS-A250D4 or a JL10W1V3-4 in the stock enclosure with some polyfill to help it go lower. Also if you're using CarPlay a digital EQ app can give you a little more control of your frequencies than a standard Bass, Mid range and Treble adjustment.

The Bose set up in my XT6 is no better, I also have the B&O in my 21 vert!

Lack of decent bass is only part of the problem, system has the fidelity of a cheap transistor radio.

On flip side, premium sound plus sub in my '16 Ram exceeds what I expect it to sound like.................home run Ram.

I agree ZR.
It's not just the sub. The whole spectrum sucks. Someday when I have some disposable money, I'm going to overhaul or replace the whole system.
I got to have great tunes!

Some claim unlocking power to the speakers via Forscan makes a substantial difference.

…unlocking power…

I'm very curious and interested in what you said ZR. How exactly would I go about doing this unlocking of power to my speakers?
