Would this be better than B&O for rear pillar?

[mfergel]

The B&O is good but could use some improvements. I already have this set that I was going to put in my previous vehicle and wonder if they would be an improvement over the B&O's already in the rear pillar. I know these aren't top end either, but thinking they may still be a bit better than what's already in there. Otherwise, I may switch over to some Kickers in the various locations.

From everything I'm seeing it seems that swapping out the rears isn't really worth it. Supposedly the Ford radio only supplies the rears with a 2-channel (I think that's the right term) signal, so they'll never sound as full as the fronts unless you use a DSP.

This. Doesn't seem worth it.

The rears have mid and high frequencies. I think anything is better than the stock crap. I have Focal Auditors in mine.

Thanks. Out of curiosity I did a search on that speaker here and it looks like daddio211 is actually running those same speakers in the rear, but I know he just upgraded from the stock XL speakers. I may just swap them to see. The only thing it's going to cost me is the adapters to plug into the stock system since I already have the speakers.

Do you run Driver or All Passenger? And you think upgrading the rears was worth it?

I run all passengers and i can tell a difference as can my kid. The highs are more pronounced. I use most of these songs to adjust my levels. https://audiophilemusic.io/portfolio/top-10-samplers-for-test-high-end-system/
