Would this setup improve the B&O system?

I would be inclined to say yes. There is another thread hear that clearly shows the B&O speakers are cheaply made one way speakers. The Polks are 2 way and at the mids and highs are VERY clean.
Yea it will. Just a simple speaker swap on the B&O makes a much improved sound experience. I used Hertz speakers for their high sensitivity.

Did you originally have the base system or B&O?

Just the base 2 door system
I'm very interested in doing this upgrade, always been a fan of polk products. When you say replaced the pods, did you replace the enclousers or just the speaker?

Just the 4" speaker. I may replace the pods in the future to accommodate a bigger 6.5" speaker but for now I was on a budget. Got a huge cruise to go on in May with the bride.... I know, 1st world problems LOL!
I already made the purchase! Thanks! I'm not into extream volume and I don't like "boom car" bass, this sounds like just the ticket.

If you are looking to improve the B&O there are several different flavors of speakers already in use by many (just do a quick search - they are just about all covered in 1 thread)- with stock B&O amp - and Sub/Amp upgrade. I can tell you without question (if you DIY the install) can spend around $1k and get an awesome sound system. I have infinity Reference 407fs in the 5 locations (dash and rear pods), Memphis MJP6 in in the kick panels and a Kicker Comp R 8" (dual voice coil 4 ohm) sub with a kicker key 500.1 amp. I am so much happier with this sound as the B&O was terribly disappointing. Used all the metra harnesses for wiring and speaker adapters for the Memphis. Sub and Key amp use the high level inputs from the rear and then 12ga to the sub wired in parallel.

Thanks for the info. Looks like a great setup. I have partial hearing loss and tinnitus from flying helicopters in the army so i doubt i could fully appreciate a build like that. Just looking for some improvement and a little more volume for when i off-road.
Wow, that's amazing! I will defo look into this upgrade. Thanks for the heads up!
All I know is I expected WAY more from this “nice” stereo system in luxe package. I hear the woofer every now and then a little bit. I’ll take my stock f250 with a small powered aftermarket sub in the back of the club cab, 5x better than whatever that was in the bronco. Luckily I don’t drive it much.

Running the same, albeit with bass blockers. I'll add an amp someday but my truck budget for this year went to shocks, tires and a mobile GMRS radio.
What swayed me on these were, as you stated, that they are marine rated. If you take your top off you fall into one of two camps: Those that have been caught in the rain and those that will be. And those in the former camp will be caught in the rain again. Electronics don't go in mine in any location that will be exposed to the rain unless properly rated. (My sub is a bit iffy, but Kicker claims it is "weatherproof".)
Just ordered two sets. Will see how this upgrade goes maybe this weekend…
