Who got the B&O? And where are all the speakers?

Did you purchase the 10 speaker sound system

I got the 10-speaker and I can't find the last two speakers. I see the diagram looks like they are supposed to be in the rear center console? Or is it because there are tiny tweeters located in the rear door speakers? Tried searching

The speakers in the rear door are coaxial and share one amplifier channel. The other speakers are single drivers and have a dedicated amplifier channel. The sub woofer has dual voice coils and is driven by two amplifier channels. The total is 10 drivers and 9 amp channels.

How do you guys like the B&O. I didn’t get a chance to really crank it. How does it compare to other premium factory systems?

It's the best car audio system I have ever owned, but I fully admit to never having spent significant coin on audio in the past. Maybe a $200.00 am/fm tape deck in my 88 ranger....

It is a lot better than my $300 Craig Power Play that I had in my $150 1963 Fairlane. All kidding aside, the B&O sounds pretty good but my ears are not like they use to be, to much rock and roll all night cranked way up. By the way, still have my 45 year old Power Play speakers hooked up to a cheap receiver in my shed.

Sounds pretty good after making some tweaks to the equalizer. Haven't listened to it long enough to draw a solid conclusion.

Well worth it to me. Music buff, so having quality sound in the vehicle is a must. Love the sound!

I’ll go against what most are saying .. while it does sound decent I get tons of distortion at the level 20 and up volume at factory settings .. I was expecting a little more out of it

It's been a long time since I had an entertainment system where I don't have to increase the bass much at all. The B&O system is almost as good as Lincolns THX II system. I listen in surround mode.

The Bass is Tight and without wallowing in the mix. No door rattling 30Hz Bass drone. It's very flat and needs just a tad boost in treble and Bass.

Some people love the door rattling bass that comes with many aftermarket systems. Me not so much..LOL

I think it is pretty awesome. My 15 year old daughter thinks it is great if that helps.

Sound is great. Sometimes I wish the dial could go past 30. I’m sure the speakers could withstand a little more juice

A real B@O costs thousands of dollars. Wife has one in her Mercedes. 5,800 dollar option by itself. Its good. Notthe best

Here I was thinking the Sub in SubVet stood for Submarine. After seeing this picture I'm now thinking it stands for Subwoofer. :)
