Speaker upgrade worth it?

[charlespsu]

Does upgrading just speakers without replacing factory amps make any difference?

Have the B@O and after 2 years cant stand it anymore. I just don't want a major upgrade

2018 xlt .. replaced factory speakers with an alpine setup, no amp. Huge difference for the better

I’ve done the same in a Jeep and a Buick. You’d be amazed how new quality speakers make a world of difference.
At some point the speaker quality will out perform the factory amp capability. But in my experience, I typically upgraded speakers first then amp/receiver, if I’m still unhappy.
I’d start with speakers.

An, I need to hear what systems yall are comparing the b&o to. I thought it was genuinely great, even after coming from a limcoln thx system (which was considered one of the best in late 00s).

I'm not a speaker snob nor a huge music lover, so the stock B and Os were fine for me. I think a speaker upgrade is good if you really want it.

I was replacing my drivers door window this weekend looking at the speaker as I pulled it out and was wondering this exact thing.

I'm thinking about replacing my 2019 xlt speakers. Which Alpine speakers did you get?

Wife has 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee without the upgrade and its WAY better than mine. Better bass, way louder, etc

Wow...I guess test driving and owning makes a difference. Tested a gc l and wagoneer with the Macintosh, agreed more bass but louder or more clarity...not rele. Same with the 14 spkr bose in the yukon denali. Wife said the same. My pops has a 22 escalade with the 20 spkr akg, that system is nice and i wonder what the 36 spkr sounds like.

Before upgrading the speakers or anything on the B&O system next year I'm getting a RTA from a local mobile audio shop. I'll know right away from the results what needs to be addressed. Who knows, it may just need a better equalizer... That's my two cents.
