B&O Sound System Upgrade

[Bullitt]

B&O Audio System upgrade completed.

I normally don't upgrade any of my auto sound systems, however I just wasn't happy with the B&O system with the volume turned up. I normally have the top off the Bronco and have a lot of road noise (which is ok with me). I found that music was just too distorted at higher volumes, lacked clarity and the bass just not good enough. (not to mention that pesky sub rattle) The B&O system isn't bad at all at lower or even mid volumes, but I rarely have it at those levels.

Absolutely Creative Customs out of Boulder, CO did the work and I couldn't be happier. I didn't want to spend a ton of money (I have friends who have spent well over $7k) so I focused more on adding additional clarity, power and bass. We found a sweet spot that works perfectly for me and my budget. Amazing clarity at all levels with a perfect amount of bass....even with all of the road noise and wind blowing in.

Out with the old and in with the new...the new 12" sub was relocated to the tailgate. (a much better location)

Here's the route they suggested and what I went with:
NAVTVZEN2AB--Converts 2018+ Ford factory A²B® (Automotive Audio Bus) to 12-channel analog RCA and TOSLink output
FOCASE165--Focal Auditor EVO 6-1/2" component speaker system set
FOCACX100--Focal Auditor EVO Series 4" 2-way car speaker pair
BHMAT--BlackHole BH Mat Self-adhesive three layer damping material.
FOCSUBP30FSE--Focal Sub P 30 FSE Flax Evo 12" Shallow Subwoofer
ARCX2850.5--Amplifier; 850 watts, power@ 4OHMS 4x85watts 1x225watts Power@ 2Ohms 4x125watts 1x400watts Power@ 4Ohms 2x250watt

Bet it sounds great but please define what isn't a ton of $$? That sub looks great, but I actually need room to store things in my bronco so that won't work. I just put in the SSV kickers on the roll bar and that so far has been good enough for me, but I am curious what would it cost me to get myself up to a level of that type of audio file capability in my bronco???
I will say that unlike other car makers BMW Audi Porsche Ford runs a nice scam calling this BNO stereo when the paper speakers are made by Ford and a garbage I guess the head unit is BNO as most of us know the head unit is probably the least important thing when it comes to hearing quality sound Thanks for it. I really appreciate the quality sound you put in my bronco.

$3,500 was my budget and I spent $3,557.

There's countless ways to go when upgrading...the key is to find what works best for you.
