I upgraded 2 rear speakers to Polk audio from my expedition XLT for expedition Timberline with B&O system.

The sound is much better than original speaker.

Thinking of doing this to my fronts with components. Will attach the tweeter to the sail A pillar. The B&O sound is disappointing IMO.

It takes some work with the EQ but it can be improved. The mid tones are muddy unless you crank it up and need to adjust the bass depending on music genre.

That’s too bad. I was hoping the Timberline B&O would be good. I actually had a dream the other night that I got mine and the stereo sounded bad and distorted worse as I turned it up. I was so disappointed! Lol

What size are the speakers and are they are perfect fit?

Still new sync4 on timberline, so I can’t adjust the bass o my timberline. On 2021 Expedition XLT, I did that on sync 3. Thanks

The size for front speaker: 6”x9”

And rear speaker (2 row): 6 1/2”

I didn’t upgrade 3rd row speakers and tweeters.

I used speaker mounting brackets and wiring harness. Everything I bought from Crutchfield.

The Timberline doesn't have the upgraded b&o, just the regular. I actually wouldn't be surprised if it had been deposited a bit. I saw on a dataset it's only pushing 600ish watts now.

If you take option 501 package include B&O system (12speakers) and 15” screen. My Timberline is 501 package (Canadian dolar) with B&O system and 15.5” touch screen

The upgraded b&o has 22 speakers and can only be had on spp, kr or platinum. The people who have it rele like it.
