Long time lurker, first time poster, but wanted to thank everyone for all the great advice on upgrading the B&O 10 speaker sound system. I have zero car audio installation expertise/ experience, but recognized day 1 that the stock system could use a lot of help. I ended up upgrading all of my speakers, starting with the 3 dash speakers and the rear pods (including upgrading the pods themselves), followed by the kicker panel and rear subwoofer. I also added a small low voltage subwoofer under the seat (that is designed for electric cars) that was also recommended by others on this site.
My general principle was to try and keep the upgrades reasonably cheap, and also limit the actual modifications to the stock stereo (i.e., go plug and play as much as possible, which I nearly did with everything). I also didn't want to add a proper amp at the moment direct to the battery (but who knows, may do so in the future). I went with 4” Infiniti 2-ways with bass blockers in the front dash corners, 4” PRV midrange in the front dash center, 6.5” Kickers in the rear (upgraded) pods, 6.75” Kickers in the front kick panels, an 8” Polk subwoofer in the back, and a compact Pioneer subwoofer under the front seat.
If I can do it, anyone can, and it has made a world of difference. Plastic trim tool removal kit was also key. There are also a ton of videos out there on bronco speaker installations which were also extremely helpful. If it is useful for anyone, here are all the items I ordered and installed.
