Upgrading the Maverick B&O Sound System - DIY Howto

[2016BoostedGreyGoose]

The only thing keeping the PAC APH-FD02 from being plug and play is the external rib on the connectors not matching. You can just trim the harness itself and not need to make any modification to the vehicle side for reversibility. The electrical connections all match up aside from, obviously, the tweeters occupying what's labelled as the rear channel.

Thanks, I wouldn't be modifying the vehicle's electrical side. I built a harness that is specific to the Maverick that requires no trimming of anything because I used the correct Molex connectors in my harness build. Don't mind me. Just thinking out loud...

Don't want to give them an excuse to deny a warranty claim.

Anybody know which and where I can find the correct speaker harness for the woofer on the B&O system?

I believe they're Motorcraft WPT-1456 and WPT-1016 pigtails depending on which side you need.

The 4" Pioneer g400s in the rear were barely better that stock.
I returned them to Bestbuy and replaced them with 4" Morels for $99 and they sound Much better.

Morel Maximo Coax 4 Maximo Series 4" 2-way car speakers at Crutchfield

Morel is a great speaker in all their price ranges.

I'll be needing the WPT-1456! Thanks a lot for the help. Now I need to decide whether I want to spend 30 bucks on it or just cut/splice the one from the OEM woofer.

So i swapped out the b&o sub with cdt audio 6x9 woofer, but now I'm getting popping sounds at high volumes. I have to lower the bass level to minimal to get it to stop, thus losing most of the bass sound. Any thoughts of what the issue is? I'm running the factory b&o amp.

There's a 4 and 2 ohm version of that speaker. If you bought the 2 ohm version I would expect the amp to not be happy about that, and it will clip.

If you have the 4 ohm version and you're sure it's not reversed polarity then it could be defective.

2 ohm fits the symptoms though so that's probably your issue.

I ordered 4ohms but I'll have to check the box again when I get home tonight. Thanks for the tips.

Good luck! You can test the resistance with a multimeter. https://www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/articles/how-to-test-a-speaker/

Anyone have the B&O wiring diagrams for the amp or whole system layout?

Turns out it was a bad speaker. They come in pairs so I swapped it with the other one and no issues unless I turn it up full blast.

How was the improvement over stock using that Kicker key amp? After looking at the diagrams I didnt realize only half the speakers are using the B&O amp. I wonder if swapping the front doors and tweeters how it would sound if swapped with a component set using the crossovers wired into the B&O amp.
