I know there are a ton of threads on this but I thought I’d share my experience replacing the b&o speakers. I replaced the 3 in the dash and two rears with kicker cs 4 inch replacements.
I used the metra 72-5600 speaker harnesses (yes they’ll fit with a little pressure, not exact, but they work) and skar bass blockers on the 4 corners. I opted not to replace the kick panel speakers due to lack of power. The improvement is night and day, with all the flatness of the paper speakers gone. This is an extremely cheap upgrade and the factory b&o powers the kickers just fine. I’m installing the tailgate sub next so we’ll see how that goes.

Similar to what I have done so far with lots of configuration tweaks. For me adding three new tweeters became fatiguing so now I’m back to using the tweeters in just the front corners. I used Infinity reference and I think their tweeters are harsh compared to speakers with soft dome tweeters.

I did about the same thing. Wonder if that kicker amp would do much.

My center is a bit harsh too. Thinking of going back to factory on it. Also trying to decide if I want to swap the kick panels.

I think that you would be surprised what upgrading your kick panel speakers will do. In my Bronco, it was really significant.

Did you amplify them?
