I dont think ive watched a single real professional reviewer say these speakers are good and i've watched hundreds of videos going back to October. Sorry you were told they were fine, they are rated D by most critics. Easy and cheap fix though.
I did not purchase my vehicle to be boom boxing through the neighborhood. You can always go to an auto A/V shop and get an upgrade.
Yeah it’s not really a B&O system
powerbass makes these plug and play drop ins and the door panels, dash speaker covers aren’t that hard to remove (with removal tools which you can get for like $5-$10)…. I’m pretty pleased with how they sound…. Increased clarity and you’d hear parts of songs that weren’t there with the stock…. I added a kicker key 200.4 to them last night and I’m impressed with how they’re handling the amp (they’re rated 60 rms and the amp is running 50 rms)…. The components are $129 and the coax are $99…. Simple, cost effective upgrade…. i won’t pretend like they’re among the best component set in their price range, but they’re easy and are decent quality for the price (and the tweeters are silk dome, which I prefer)
I think an iPod touch might be a different t story from an old school iPhone, but I could be totally off base…. If I still had one I’d test it
B&O is a great company that has produced good audio products for a long time. However, like most older companies, they sell their name. Are the Ford B&O speakers, really made by B&O, or are they licensed only? Be interesting to find out.
No, that would still use the DAC of your phone instead of the vehicle's DAC. Try a USB thumb drive and compare it to your phone. You don't have to be an audiophile to hear the difference.
When you do it, please let us know here what you've done and learned. Yeah, photos and even a video would really rock!
