? How. I have the same year car and same trash B&O audio lol.. just saying what I went through with mine last year. I almost spent thousands on all this unnecessary shit when that’s all it needed was some new speakers I installed myself and it’s great now. To each their own though..
I was referring to your claim of millions of miles of wire and useless boxes. One ten foot section of the PAC speaker harness and their Amp Pro is hardly the experience you’re claiming.

But hey, if it works for you then that’s all that matters. Many of us have a combined experience of thousands of hours in audio. I fully built a system in my GT500 and had excellent results. I’m about to do the same in my 2017 vert, albeit at a lower price point.

A Gt500 doesn’t have any fancier of a stereo then a GT lol… It’s more then one 10 foot harness to do all of what people are saying to do for amazing sound... it’s multiple amps or other control boxes and multiple harnesses and wires, But yes when I said millions of miles of cable that was me exaggerating 😂🤣🤦🏼‍♂️..

Of course I wasn’t inferring those were the only two items you need just like you weren’t intentionally saying you needed a million miles of wire.

Try high res inputs like flac, wav and 320 streaming via usb before spend a dime.

Most systems sound like crap using Sirius or Bluetooth stream, or mp3 etc.
This... Flac files on a USB stick (esp. hi-res ones) sound way better than any other source on this head unit. CD is next closest, but when's the last time you loaded in a CD? :)

My streaming 320 lbs sounds pretty good and different from flac on USB. My DSP is tuned for streaming 320 ....

if you want real hi res, ixnay the unit completely and run a second source into the dsp via optical or coaxial digital input. Astell and Kern make great players.

I remember when I first got my car, I thought the B&O stereo sounded awful. But then I switched it from surround sound mode to stereo mode, and I was pretty satisfied with it. It’s plenty loud. I like how well it positions the audio to the various seats in the car, so for example if my kid wants to listen to something in the backseat, it’s loud for him, but quiet for the rest of us.I have a high end stereo at home for serious listening, and there are a lot of differences. My home stereo has a better DAC, so the it handles complicated pieces with a lot more precision. Also, the mid range is way smoother on my expensive home speakers and feels more real. My home subwoofer handles low base notes like real notes, and not just thumps.I never expected to get this from a car stereo, but this thread make me want to give it a whirl.
