I would imagine so, but I do everything myself. I'm not paying somebody to do something I can do. Besides, DIY is half the fun.
I don't think most shops would be aware of forscan or willing to make changes with it if they did.
This is the one I use. There's cheaper, but I wanted to be sure it worked.I guess I'm going to open this can of worms with Forscan. I just ordered the cable from Amazon, lol. I'm going to be doing some research in the next few days to see if I can nail down the right changes. A quick search on the net showed me an overwhelming amount of info, so I'll need to decipher all of that down to dummy level for myself
P.S.
Also screw Ford for not giving us a flat eq curve and making this crap way more trouble than it should be
That's the one I ordered. I'm like you there. I don't want to be trouble shooting cables too.
Thanks for posting Aaron! I've always been curious about those kits, even though I don't have the B&O system. It looks like it basically changes the bass/midd/high settings to a 3 band parametric EQ. That Chime volume level is a handy thing to have!I haven't seen anyone post that has the B&O and got the PAC Amp Pro kit to flatten the curve and keep all the OEM bells and whistles. I had enough amazon points to buy it and just had an install done. This is the configuration screen on the Amp Pro. There isn't a ton you can change, but you can adjust the factory EQ frequency for bass, mid, and treble, along with Q factor. Screenshot of what you get:
I don't know that the kit changes it, it just gives you the option to modify the factory default controls, and the flat signal coming out from front, rear, and sub output. I definitely did use the chime control to turn that down.
No, it's not crazy loud, but there's only so much a single 10 in a small enclosure can do. The sub is definitely hitting the note though. 
From my initial listening tests, I don't think it fully flattened the factory EQ settings, but did give me back the low end bass. The reason you want to flatten the factory EQ settings is because Ford basically applies EQ adjustments to the signal going to your speakers(or aftermarket setup), and these are outside of the bass/mid/high settings that are user adjustable. It makes it very hard to get really good sound when installing aftermarket setups. A DSP in your aftermarket system is a must in my opinion. Be it with kicker key options or a dedicated separate DSP that lets you adjust the sound.
Yes, they are great for a lot of people, but they can't put frequencies there that the head unit isn't sending. The Maverick head unit cuts low bass completely out, so low end response is basically non-existent below 30-35hz. Most people won't really notice that missing signal, and they are a good option for your average listener. Unfortunately, I do notice it, so it isn't really a good option for me(see previous comments). Also, it is always best for SQ when you can start out with a flat signal from the head unit. Without doing that, the key(or any DSP) is having to EQ an EQ'd signal.
