Always verify aftermarket purchases.
So, I received my Wild Track Bronco on Monday. I ordered all my new speakers months ago. Yes, B&O paper speakers were out the next day.
(Ford should offer a prewire speakerless option)
Here is the problem. I purchased the SSV BR-B65
So you would expect the red to be positive and the black to be negative, right? Nope.
Thanks to the post by Ksjrb03 where I found the wiring diagrams for the B&O speaker wiring. This is an awesome forum!

Here, you can see that the connector wired to red on the SSV will connect to the negative terminal on the Ford connector.
If the speaker polarity is incorrect, your sound will be as if you are backstage at a concert. I experienced this with connectors I purchased years ago on Amazon for my F150.
Picture of Left Rear connectors (same problem on the Right Rear)
This is my quick fix. I opened up the spear and reversed the connections.
I went with the Infinity Speakers, and I am so happy with them. No DSP amps for now.
Hope this helps someone attempting a speaker swap.
