Hello, I have a 2019 Limited Expedition with the 12 speaker B&O stereo. I have a Hertz H8 DSP that I’m trying to utilize. Where is everyone splicing into the factory speaker wires to get signal to the DSP?

Thank you for this post! I have been wanting to know if someone had started to upgrade their stereo in these yet. I have a 2022 XLT ordered without the B&O stereo and I'm not looking forward to the factory stereo. I have Hertz-Millie legend's in my Tahoe now with (4) Fosgate 10's. Sounds incredible and I am going to miss it. I don't have the old speakers so I may just sell the stereo with the car.

I was playing on Crutchfield and looks like Focal makes 6x9's for the front door and 6.5 for rear with the Ford specific wire connectors.

Lol! I just sold my Raptor and took my Hertz Mille Pros out and put the stock speakers back in. I also took out all of my amps, DSP and power/ground wires. I used the APH-FD02 harness from PAC that connected into the factory amp and also provided speaker wire leads to the Hertz DSP. I called PAC and they explained that the 2019 Expedition also uses the APH-FD02. I then tried to install everything from the Raptor to the Expedition but the plug from the APH-FD02 does not fit the Expedition properly and will not allow my right front or right rear door speakers to work.
Looks like I’m going to have to hard wire into the speaker leads but not sure of the location to tap the wires.
