@hilmerdm - $100 is a great price for Hertz on Amazon. I would try it. Worst case scenario you can return them. What state are you in ? DM me if you think we could work something out for that second speaker
@hilmerdm - I have not upgraded my center speaker yet - I am still running the factory B&O. I know that several members have reported that going with 3 of the Hertz DCX 100.3's has provided great results. I would be tempted to give it a try. I always run on surround mode, so I will likely do...
Good stuff @Ibuprofen3293 - sounds fairly consistent with all the feedback and threads regarding the best bang for the buck is the front speakers for sure. The rear pods are so weird on the B&O. Some songs they sound fine on and others they are pretty poor. I have only upgraded the original 4...
@DamnYankee - if your looking to do the subwoofer in the B&O - I recently added the new Gearshade subwoofer box made for the B&O. Very happy with how it turned out - here is a link. Had to trim off the small circle plastic inside the rear trim panel that was designed for the circle subwoofer of...
I have no bass blockers on any of my speakers including the rear pods. They all sound great. There are no Forscan changes available for the B&O that I’m aware of at this time. At some point in the future, if they become available for the rear pods on the B&O then maybe that may be a...
Yes frustrating the cost difference - you can Google around for the part - they are made by Metra - Metra FD-BROPOD1 They are going to need to come down in price to compete. Funny they have been listed on Amazon for $145 but never in stock.....:mad: here is the link to the Metra site Metra Online
Let’s get back to basics: This post is somewhat of broader response to the simple question: “I have the B&O system, I don’t want to replace or add amps, but I would like to get more out of my system. How can I achieve this ?"
This post covers these goals and nothing else:
Stage 1 - Upgrade...
@Johnny Mo - you may have mentioned this in another thread, but did you stay with the factory pods or did you upgrade to one of the 6.5 versions ? I agree putting a solid high quality speaker with focus on high sensitivity will be much better than the stock B&O pod speakers, as these are the...
@WIDirtFishing - one other very minor thing to call to your attention. The Hertz DCX 100.3 are unique in that the speaker connections aren’t like most speakers where you have a big fat connector on the “+” side and a thin connector on the “-“ side. Both speaker connnectors are the same size. So...
I want to achieve this goal by:
Upgrade front Dash and Center Speakers
Upgrade rear Pods (high quality 4"ers or 6.5s, i really dont' care)
@WIDirtFishing - can save you a lot of time if this is your goal:
Replace all of your 4 corner speakers with Hertz DCX 100.3 - Hertz DCX 100.3 Dieci Series...
@marsdenmike - If you haven't replaced your other speakers yet in the corners or the rear pods, go with something with high sensitivity like the Hertz DCX 100.3 - Hertz DCX 100.3 Dieci Series 4" 2-way car speakers at Crutchfield . If you go below 90db on the sensitivity of the new speakers...
@Hossfire - This is a great question and would still love this question to be answered. If the B&O system doesnt provide a full signal to the rear pods, then I am having a hard time feeling that upgrading to 6.5 pods with a quality and high sensitivity coax speaker will be a significant...
