Feedback/Help on B&O Upgrade

[WestlakeHorn]

@WestlakeHorn - I also have the Hertz DCX 100.3 in my 2 corners. Right now, I have the stock B&O in the center, I will say that I dont really notice its there. Did adding the middle Hertz DCX 100.3 really wake it up ? I was concerned about it being too bright. In addition, there are countless threads on using the PRV as the center speaker. I am on the fence about the center.

It definitely wakes up the center channel and I felt like it was definitely an improvement over the B&O speaker. I didn't try the PRV first, so I can't comment on that.

For me, it was the most difficult speaker to replace. I had a hell of a time getting the front lip from under the dash.

I do agree with several posters on this site -- each speaker change brought about an incremental improvement in the sound stage and quality.

Do you have audio settings set to stereo or surround? It's it's surround, the center speaker is more noticeable so it's be worth swapping. If it's stereo, you might be able to get away without changing it out.

Surround - all the time

I just swapped all 3 dash speakers to JL Audio C1’s earlier this week with bass blockers.

I’m leaving the kick panel speakers stock for now.

I swapped the rear pods to Mabbett ones and added Focal 6.5” 165AC’s.

Its in the shop now…. removed factory sub(mounted new amp, B&O amp, and LOC in its place), and did 2 Skar Audio 10’s in a rear tailgate box.

Seems like an awfully small cabinet for a pair of 10s
