Hmm, B&O and I have JL’s and changing from the 4 inch Focals, it was a huge improvement in the fill. Bass definitely mostly comes from sub, but I‘m super happy to have full sound in all areas of the truck. Before the backseat was embarrassing.Well I received and installed my rear pods today and would like to offer the following observations…
1) Mabett has done a fantastic job with these! They were very well packed and included some unexpected bonuses. Unlike other reviewers, I did receive the 2 door brackets. (but did not need them for my 4 door)
Included were 2 pigtails with matching plugs for the factory harness. I had planned to rob the ones off the factory pods, but that was unnecessary.
Also, I had no “clip“ issues like others have experienced.
Best of all, the pods bolted up like they were OEM.
2) I was less than impressed with the sound improvement…
perhaps I had unrealistic expectations, and maybe my speaker choice has something to do with it. (Kicker CS 6.5)
Other than a little more treble and a small bump in volume, they don’t make $450 worth of improvement in my opinion…
That is not to say that I am sorry I did it, just that it made it clear to me that this is just the beginning!
the rear channels obviously require more power…
since I have the B&O, I am not sure how to proceed.
I’ve read that the B&O doesn’t require forscan changes and will not work with the Kicker 200.4 amp…
Any advise would be much appreciate!
