Morel Maximo’s will outperform those
Focal’s.

I have been lurking on this thread for months but about to do the 7 speaker replacement this weekend! I am going to do the sub and amp at a later time for now. Thank you all so much for all the info!

Just set your expectations accordingly. Without a sub, things are going to sound pretty flat. No midbass can do what a sub does below 150hz.

Do you not even have the factory sub in the truck? This is a B&O system you’re upgrading or?

That makes sense dhmcfadin! It is pretty underwhelming stock.

K223 I have the 802A with Sony Amp and Sub its a 2017 .

Sooo has anyone replaced the door handle release cable or know how much to replace?


Found the part number:

I take it the upgrade had some... challenges ;-)
I’ve disconnected the door handle cable from the panel, but not replaced it. Have you youtube searched? I have to go back there every time the door panels come off because I can never remember the trick to that damn connector.
