B&O Amp drives which speakers?

[MrLoganRoss]

In my Mach-E, the front 3 dash speakers in a B&O equipped car are driven by the audio control module directly, while all the other speakers are driven by the B & O DSP. Does anybody know what the configuration is for the F150? I am mapping out an F150 aftermarket amp upgrade, and that will help determine how expensive upgrading the speakers would be, or even if I keep the same speakers, whether or not I have my own wires from the replacement amp to the Front dash speakers. Thanks in advance.

The ACM power the front a-pillar speakers and the rear door speakers. The DSP powers the rest.


Edit: 8 speaker or 18 speaker B&O?

That’s weird. It makes we wonder what’s the point if the B&O system if it only powers the front miss and the sub.

I should have mentioned looking at the flash ‘24. I believe 8 speaker.

My big fear is whether using my own DSP/amp for all speakers takes away any notifications in the truck. That has NOT been the case in my Mach-E.

Not sure if anything changed for the 2024, but on on the 2023 with the * speaker set up, set up is like this:

Interesting. I don’t see a center dash speaker.

wait. Nevermind I see it. I wonder why they bother running the tweeters off the ACM?

I'm guessing it is cheaper than putting an 8-channel amp in all of them. Probably got a good "deal" on 6 channel amps from the supplier.

Will probably use the same audiotech fisher DSP/amp I put in my Mach-E
