I’ve had multiple shaker systems from 05 to my 16. The shaker 1000 in my 05 was amazingThinking about optioning my car with the B&O system. How does it compare to the old shaker systems ? Is it worth the $900? To me, the stock 9 speakers sounded like garbage.
Yeah I’m not really an audiophile. Just want something with a little more thump.I’ve had multiple shaker systems from 05 to my 16. The shaker 1000 in my 05 was amazing
The shaker 500 in my 13 was great
The shaker(not shaker pro) in my 16 was absolutely trash, I had a single 10 installed in the trunk and that helped greatly.
The B&o in the Bullitt is very nice. Doesn’t hit as hard as the old shaker 1000 but it is definitely more refined. If you are big into bass it would probably be cheaper to just get the regular system and get a sub installed. I’m not an audiophile but the B&o seems well rounded and I enjoy it.
I normally have the drivers side rear seat folded down and that seems to do the trick as far as the thump is concerned. Overall happy with the system.Yeah I’m not really an audiophile. Just want something with a little more thump.
FYI - and I've been meaning to do this myself - apparently if you disable the center "voice" speaker, it clears up the highs quite a bit, and stuffing some polyfill in the sub enclosure is supposed to really tighten up the base. For a couple of bucks and less than an hour of work, I'm definitely going to give both a shot.It’s ok. Not great. Bass is muddy and unnatural. Mids and highs are ok. B&O has a great reputation but I think they phoned this one in. For $900 I could’ve done better with aftermarket parts myself. But the car already came with it so it’ll work for now. And truthfully I bought the car for the v8 and with exhaust installed now I won’t be messing with the audio.
The Sony system in our 2018 Explorer blows it out of the water in every metric.
Dude, you have motivated me, doing this todayI only have the 9 speaker system but unplugging the center channel did wonders for it.
Theres a thread on how to do it. One way is to cut the speaker wire coming out of the amp another is to unplug the speaker in the dash which is what I did. I removed the chrome strip on the dash then popped up the speaker grill by pushing up on the front of it. Theres a thread on this process if you are interested....... totally worth doing though!Dude, you have motivated me, doing this today
Oh thanks! I was just looking for that. Hahahaha, it's like disabling a bomb in a movie "Cut the red wire or the green wire??"Theres a thread on how to do it.

Cutting the wire is the easiest way but there wasnt a good consensus at the time which wire to cut on the 9 speaker. If you pull the dash be careful with the small black trim piece under the silver panel near the glove box I broke the clip wiggling mine and had to jbweld it back on lol. Expect to lose a few dash clips too i bought some on Ebay to replace the ones i lost down in the dash....Oh thanks! I was just looking for that.

Hey, please report back on both of those 'fixes' . The center speaker could mess things up, like others reported, so curious if that work. I thought about trying that when I had the dash trim out to swap the GT350 gauges, but forgot to do it. Ha ha. No way I'm taking that part out again. And probably neither anything else, since it's so freaking easy to break stuff on these stupid cars. Also curious about the sub fix, which should be easier to perform (at least less risk of breaking anything). Thanks brother.apparently if you disable the center "voice" speaker, it clears up the highs quite a bit, and stuffing some polyfill in the sub enclosure is supposed to really tighten up the base.
