Looking to Upgrade from a 21GT to a DH...is the B&O still junk?

[joe603]

Just like the title asks...I had to completely remove and replace every stereo component in my 21GT Premium to have decent sound. Did Ford make the B&O system any better, or is it the same in the 650 as the 550?

It’s still junk. The sub mod detailed on the forum helps though.

It's not horrible. The Alpine in my 2022 Ram is a lot better. Seems like it likes to be played loud.

It's crap. My 2015 Nissan Frontier Pro4X with a stock Rockford Fosgate system is better. Depending on how deep down the rabbit hole of sound you want to go, spend a little for an upgrade sub and center speaker (there are a couple of threads here), or replace it all with high end system. The system I received a quote on was $9K installed and equalized to my specs; yeah, that hasn't happened yet.

Is it worth the money they now force you to pay for it as a stand alone option?

Not if you plan on modifying the system.


My gripe is that they made the 10R80 standard on the car which used to be an option and took the B&O out of the higher option packages and made it a very pricey stand alone option.

Those of you that got stick cars didn't get a $1600 dollar reduction in cost did you.

And thanks to the Feds requiring back up cameras you can no longer order a car "radio delete", plus the "radio" touch screen controls 99% of the cars settings.
