I saw this in one of the many threads regarding audio upgrades!
@buzpro is definitely right, don't rush into it! I'm 8 hours into my project so far and have only the first amp and front 4 speakers done!
Took my time planing out wire runs, carefully removing trim panels, good luck finding a replacement right now if you break off the clips. Thankfully everything came apart fairly easily with an interior trim removal tool.
Had to make two adapter rings for the kick panel speakers because of where the mounting locations are for the factory ones. Easy enough to trace the old hole pattern onto some HDPE and cut out with a jigsaw. Used some foam rings to isolate the kick panels too as it's open to the fender behind. Not enough room for the full foam backer though.
Really easy to access the dash speakers, can basically see all the way to the floorboards with them taken out so no problem wiring. Added some "boom mat" speaker baffles behind them to direct the sound upwards and made a nice difference!
Knew from the beginning I wanted to use the Kicker Key 200.4 for the fronts as it's super compact and efficient. Really easy to set up and mounted perfectly on the crash bar under the steering column. Still get full range of motion on the column too!
Meant to take more pictures of the install process but you get in the zone and just get stuff done!
Will update again with the rear speaker and sub setup!
I’m not sure about that cheap amp but, I do know that virtually everyone that opted for the B&O system has described the sound as trash! You would be better served with a custom audio system and save a few bucks along the way!
I mean a subwoofer is typically going to have a tiny dedicated amp. The other speakers will be powered by the main amp / headunit.
I saw someone mounting it on the metal bracket under the steering wheel. It has a plastic cover and they were able to drill holes for mounting.
