Ford states directly in their brochure they offer the “B&O Play sound system” not “Bang & Olufsen”. I don’t think anyone was hiding anything. People just read B&O and forget the “play” portion.

I’ve read all these responses and not once did anyone mention that the system is not actually Bang & Olufsen. In Audi’s, BMW’s, etc you are getting a true Bang & Olufsen system with actual Bang & Olufsen drivers. In F150’s, Raptors, and Expeditions, you are getting B&O Play. NOT Bang &...

Yup. Pac at least answers the phone and is helpful.

Wrong speakers. You need components for the front not coax or three way. Your truck has tweeters in the a-pillar and midbass in the door.

No, sold.

There isn’t one with that method. You will have to cut the sub connector off and solder on the leads to the lc2i.

That is a cheap alternative. It will work for what you want to do.

The other thing: a dsp isn’t some mystical complicated piece of hardware. It is easy to use and doesn’t cost very much $150.00 I think of adding a dsp the same way I think of buying my fords with the larger gas tank. It’s a nominal upgrade charge in comparison to the price of the truck. The...

Good is subjective. You don’t know what good is until you’ve actually heard good.

I sure hope people don’t take the advice above about not utilizing a dsp in a vehicle. All of the reasoning above has absolutely nothing to do with why we use a dsp in the first place. In a concert environment or home audio environment, a dsp is not used to localize sound left and right...

I ran new door speaker channels but not out of choice, out of necessity. 400 watts a channel with 8” drivers.

Think about it this way. Putting nicer speakers in without changing the source quality or power is like putting a 93 octane tune on your truck and only running 87. You won’t have the full potential of the tune without running the right fuel. If you think you’ll upgrade the rest of the system...

I forgot one other thing: in combination of the on-axis vs off-axis response, you also have to account for the enclosure each speaker is placed in. In the case of your truck, the door is the enclosure. That is literally the worst enclosure you could ever put a speaker in. Proper EQ is absolutely...

I forgot to mention the most important reason active is preferred in a vehicle: in a vehicle, speakers are placed in various different locations and axis from the listening position. Unlike a high fidelity home audio systems where your listening position is on axis and centered both horizontally...

Sony- Pac Amp Pro. You can’t use a processor, you need a can-bus communication module FIRST which converts the can-bus signal into an audio signal. The first item in the signal chain for factory AMPLIFIED trucks must be the Pac Amp Pro for Sony or Zen a2b for B&O. From this module, you can add...

I said multiple times “factory non-amplified trucks”. It’s pretty self explanatory but this means trucks that DO NOT have Sony or B&O from the factory. For Sony- Pac Amp Pro For B&O- Zen a2b.

If you have the ability to run low-level, go that route. I run optical in my truck. But keep in mind there are a number of complications that can occur with switching your output setting in forscan. The most notable being noise.

Woah man. On our headunits, where does the audio signal come from when switched to low level? Guess what, it still comes through the factory amplifier at a much lower voltage. The same circuits are used. Aftermarket headunit, different story. My data and testing is SPECIFIC to our trucks.

A lot has changed in 25 years. Theres a huge difference between acoustical distortion and electrical distortion. Your ears are being deceived, at least on this particular headunit. The high level output on the factory headunit has been verified. To everyone else reading this thread, don’t...

Have you utilized an oscilloscope and rta to determine total harmonic distortion, signal to noise, and intermodulation distortion out of the factory headunit in non-amplified trucks?

No.

The 2019-2020 have a different harness on the rear of the headunit. Pre 2019, you could get the for-11ck harness. With yours, you will need the 2019 harness from Plug and Play Kits. You’ll want the amp harness only. Then get a dedicated amp. Do not buy the amp that they offer with the harness...

It will not. Those settings only effect Sony amplified systems.

But you can’t forscan b&o and non amplified trucks have no roll off, attenuation, or eq on the front left and right channels.

I wanna hear your rant about the problem with high-level on factory non-amplified trucks.
