I'm just testing it out, so I fashioned a retainer out of Tesa tape sitting on a bed of poly fil. It works fine for a few weeks.
I'm debating upgrading my components from the Focals to something nicer. I've actually been impressed by the Focal woofers, but the tweeters leave a lot to be...
Update here: I swapped out the 4" Focal ACX-100s in the corners for the tweeters that came with the component kick panel speakers I dropped in (Focal RSE-165). Used the crossovers that came with them as high-pass filters inline.
I added back the factory C channel middler (it's only 4"...
Not yet. Meant to order the PRV you suggested and haven't gotten around to it. I disconnected the C last week. System sounds the best it's sounded yet with just the FR and FL speakers.
Overall, I've been disappointed with the Focal ACX 100s in the dash locations. I have a hard time separating...
How did you splice into the amp/DSP signal for the 200.4? Did you tap each individual speaker wire coming out of the Amp/DSP? Then rely on the Kicker‘s DSP to fill in the the rolloffs created by the factory DSP?
I have to say, I disregarded this advice at first. Bad call.
I also used Focals for all three. With just the FR and FL speakers replaced, the sound is decent but bright. With the C swapped, the sound is unlistenable. The upper treble is overpowering. Sibilance is bad. The speaker itself...
It's very good.
My dad has had two JLU Rubicons, both with the Alpine system. I've had 5 or 6 Jeeps before the '22 OBX arrived with the B&O. I've traditionally upgraded all the sound in the Wranglers because they've always been weak.
The latest JLUs with the Alpines don't make me even...
That makes way more sense.
3 channels driven by the head unit, 6 channels driven by the amp/DSP, 2 of which go to the sub. Everything would be at 4 Ohm impedance (Thanks @EquusBronsis). Also, that gives discrete channels to each speaker location, which again makes way more sense.
Still leaves...
(EDIT: impedance, not resistance. changed below)
Part 1: Reasoning Through B&O Factory Specs
I've been doing some digging to understand what's actually in the Bronco's B&O system, because it doesn't seem to be documented fully anywhere. I wanted to know what the amp was actually putting out...
