Insert trim piece here to start, then move along sides. The lip you donāt want to crush ends just a little bit after 2.25ā from edge. I made the mistake assuming that opening was in the same location on both sides.
Installed the remaining Hetz speakers in the front with 300hz bass blockers. I think Iām all set now. Just 5 speakers swapped.
Hertz DCX-1003 in front and rear, Center PRV woofer, the rest stock OEM B&O.
The cut out I had before in the rear is gone. Maybe due to poor insulation on my test harness.
I have the same build and color, I didnāt like running boards, till I saw this. I might have to upgrade. Thatās the solid black right? Any interior updates?
I donāt agree with leaving the doors unlocked. People say to do that, but in my city, they break into easy targets first, those leaving their doors unlocked first, followed by vehicles in easy hit locations on the street/Vs deep into someoneās driveway. In Cali, my Honda was hit so often...
Yeah I donāt agree with this statement. Everyone I talk to that has OBX, wanted one. I know many that wanted one and settled on a different trim. I think the most common settled on trim was the Big Bend. I have a Badlands, which I waited for 2yrs, so I have no dog in the fight. And yes, Iām a...
Kickers seem to be the default here, but not the best. Terrible in the rear, subpar in the front, even with bass blockers. Ripped them all out and gave them away to a co-worker for free. š¤·š»āāļø
B&O setup.
The Hertz DCX-1003 4" install is not as straightforward as other speakers.
Front, you need to pop off the plastic post. If you get a ready made wiring harness, it wonāt fit the negative end on the speaker. They are both big male terminals. Snip off and replace with a bigger one.
Rear, you...
Itās not always about size. I have the 4ā Hertz DCX-1003 in rear, & they sound fab. So clear and loud. I tried a few types of 6.5s in the kick panel and wasnāt impressed. Even the Hertz C 165 6-1/2" Woofer terrible.
Since you already have the bigger pods maybe try the Hertz Dieci Series...
I ripped out the 4ā Kicker CS from the rears and replaced with the 4ā Hertz DCX-1003. Huge difference. So clear and louder. I also got the 150-300hz bass blockers for the front and soldered them in the wiring harness. Getting extra pair of hertz tomorrow and hopefully Iām done. š¤
The 4ā kicker...
My suggestion is to test the the hertz with and without the blockers, moving the balance from left to right and back to hear the difference with multiple songs. You may like it without. Without, itās louder and more clear, but less dynamic sound and bass. Imo
Imo, Eq controls didnāt change the...
Listening to the hertz today, Iām sure the ones you put in the kick panel have better clarity. I just donāt want to lose the lows of the oem. Iām not sure what Iāll do. Probably just live it for a few weeks and see.
Just tested the Kicker CS and Hertz against each other (no blockers) in fronts. Hertz wins in clarity and overall sound. They are a bit louder too.
Yes, itās worth getting hertz for the 4 speakers. Even with just swapping w/ 4ā.
Buying more Hertz I guess uhh. No blockers on the rears.
The...
Yeah thatās what Iāve been wondering, but there are people here that added them without upgrading. Mostly people without B&O that can FORscan more power to the rears. That said, without doing anything, a bigger speaker should move more air and more sound right? Simple physics, which I failed š
If I didnāt have so many Kicker CS, I would get the Hertz or Kicker KS for the rears. Iām sure upgrading to 6.5 Pods would be the most effective, but Iām not going down that road and dropping another $300. The hetz 4ā without blockers, might be loud and clear enough to heat back there.
Current setup, which Iām fine with for now.
B&O OEM Amp, Sub, kick panel.
