Optimal Sound System Upgrade?

[buzpro]

Now that production scheduling has begun, for those of us who are not getting the B&O system, what's the optimal upgrade one can expect in the sound system?
i think i read all the threads, but could not find the info i was looking for

1. size of speakers in every location? (physical size and bolt pattern)
2. power of said speakers? (watts, ohms, RMS, etc)
3. Does the stock system have an ideal place for mounting an Amp?
4. what's the ideal place for mounting a 10" subwoofer?

Any info or ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Also if you're going to upgrade would it be a DIY project or will you go to a professional sound shop you can suggest?

Idk about sticking a subwoofer in, but upgrading & amplifying the speakers is always nice.

YES its nice, but i want to know what I will be replacing exactly !

This is my biggest concern with my big bend config. I want to keep it as stock as possible, so for sure leaving the head unit alone. Probably replace the existing speakers and add an amp, plus look at a stealth sub under the seat. Hopefully someone will come out with the sub set up like the wranglers have in the side panel of the trunk area.

I don’t need much, I think the b+o sounds great, I just don’t want to jump to the Lux

Sub under the seat is where it’s at.

I can tell you that there is not enough room for even a low profile Kicker Hideaway Sub under the second row seat if you ever intend to fold it down. Keep that in mind.

I listen to music nonstop and do prefer it loud at times. I went with a set of Hertz components up front with an Audison 5 channel amp and a JL audio 12 W6 in the factory enclosure for a sub. The sub takes up quite a bit of the cargo area is my biggest gripe.
They made a mount for the tweeter in the factory dash location but I’m thinking of adding a 4 inch midrange and mounting the tweeters separate. The 6.5 are a little far away and the mid bass doesn’t seem just right. Gonna add a DSP also, had one in the truck and it really helps fine tune things.

How do you like the Hertz? Thinking about swapping all 6 for those and using amp for more power
