I know that the B&O system sucks. My sub rattles every panel in the tailgate and the audio stage up front is laughable. That’s with MIC… wait until the top comes off… ugh.
I can do most anything underneath the hood or with the chassis. However, I am functionally useless when it comes to audio and scared to screw up my interior while I use my gorilla skills to rip apart plastic panels that are flawless on a new vehicle.
So I found the most reputable audio installer in my city and I have no doubt they would deliver something good.
My question is if it’s worth ~$5k? They want o go with an MTI sub enclosure, MTI pods, JL speakers with a disconnect of the center dash and components in the front dash and foot wells.
They want I use the OE sub space for amps and then some kind of control mechanism (god look how dumb…) to eq tune the system and leave me with otherwise seamless audio control through the OE 12” display.
I’m not an audiophile, but I like my music…
Should I soak up the $5k or really get gutsy and start ripping apart this mint interior with little plastic tools while I mar every visible surface and break all the little tabs and plastic bits?
If I man up and go DIY will the juice be worth the squeeze? Or will I just end up with a bunch of compromises and ultimately an appointment for a $4k overhaul?
