2022 Lightning - B&O stereo : good sound / performance? upgrading?

[T i h o r]

Is there any way we can find out the location of all the oem speakers? Are they the same as previous model F150's?

If so, we should able to take an off the shelf solution for those trucks and apply it to our own!

The Lariat version has 8 speakers - 4 doors, center in dash, sub and two tweeters in the A pillars. I believe that is how they count the 8. There are drawings in the source book I believe, saw them back in January. There are many solutions these days. It is just getting it in. I could see new sub and amp in back. The other speakers are likely easily replaceable. The smarts I don't have these days will be getting the signal out of the head unit into some amp and processor and then back to the wiring to the speakers.

I'm sure there are already kits for previous year model ICE. Will have to go find them or a local shop that knows what they are doing.

I am quite disappointed as well with my Lariat's sound. It rivals that of my 2007 F-250's sound system, and that's saying very little.

I don't spend my life in my vehicle, so I probably won't do anything about it, but it's definitely not anything to write home about. Hearing all the Ford marketing about B&O, you're ready for a great Italian restaurant meal, and turns out someone just boiled some spaghetti too long and added a $1 can of Hunt's sauce to it and sent it to your table.

When I drive my left ear hears wind noise, and my right ear hears music/podcasts. It's such an unbalanced listening experience. I've driven 4k miles and I can't get used to it. 99% of cars I drive are fine in this regard.

Adjusting the balance solves the problem to a degree, but only for solo driving. Does unplugging the center speaker fix the balance?
