I too am waiting on a driver's door speaker. Blown since new. Current ETA is January some time.......:-(

 

 

I have 171 miles on my new 19. It's a horrible system. I drove my old 06 2500HD with the bose all day today and just shook my head how much better it sounded no matter how low or cranked up it was. New speakers will be on my list of mods at least....

 

About 200 miles on my new 19. I think the stock system that was in my 07 F150 CC sounded better. Clearer, Crisper.
Ive messed with the audio settings the best I could with the B&O, just doesnt sound right to me. Needs something....
Maybe its because its a bigger truck, different speaker placements... I dont know but it diffidently needs some thing.
I did notice too that listening to SatRadio sounds differently then just some of the local stations.

 

The Bose in my 17 2500 puts my brand new BO system to shame.... Im a Hi-Fi guy and will be looking into ways to improve my cab sound.

 

I don't think it sounds bad at all. Just in the two weeks I've had it, the bass response seems to have improved. HD radio sounds great, iPod sounds excellent, streaming is okay and Sirius is typically horrible. I had the standard system in my 2016 F150 Lariat. Swapped out the door speakers and I added an amp and sub. Was it cleaner at high volume? Yes. Way better bass response? Yes. Do I feel a need to do the same to this B&O system? Nope....at least not yet. Yesterday, I switched from the stereo setting to surround. So far I think it's an improvement. Definitely more immersive.

 

I'm eyeing up a set of JL C2-690Ts's or Focals to replace the stock speakers. Wonder how much of a difference in sound.

 

I don't think the B&O is awful...but not awesome either. Vocals get harsh at mid/hi volume. One thing I've found that affects sound quality a lot is switching between stereo/surround mode depending on the source. It doesn't "remember" and it's not quick to toggle.

 

I have an 18 with the Sony system.

Had a RAM 2500 - Audio system was great, motor was great, everything else was a nightmare.

Only issue with the F250, and my 17 GT 350 - the audio system,

I did the JL Audio C2's front and back with some dynamat padding and the Dayton center channel speaker. Removed the Sony Sub and packed the case full with polyfill from Michaels

Here is a link to what I did.

walk thru the thread - you'll see the Dayton center channel speaker. It's important to pay attention to the speaker impeadence whcih may be different on the B&O

 

Did the mini sub fit good or did you have to do any modification? I assume new mounting holes?

 

Dropped right in. I used 3M double sided tape to mount it. I also used a soldering gun to remove the wires / clip from the old speaker - moving it to the new speaker.

Plug and play.

Have had no issues.

 

Ordered up the Dayton mini today. Both front and rear C2's came in today along with adapters and harnesses. Now all we need is a somewhat warmer day and no snow to install....

 

You might want to get some dynamat for the doors. Also take a look at your sub and consider packing it with extra polyfill which you can buy at Michaels. It's about $5 for a bag of it. The Sony sub had next to nothing backed in the sub enclosure. I stuffed it full and this improved the bass from the sub.

FYI - let the speakers run for 20 to 40 hours - they will break in and sound better. Saw this first hand both on our F250 and our GT 350.

 

 

glad you like it - but the system is the same....they put weak components in the system and they CLIP the output to preserve the speaker(s)....age has nothing to do w/it...im nearly 56 myself....I prefer clear/crisp music at ALL volume levels.
