FOCAL ES 165KX2
FOCAL EC 165K
DUAL JL AUDIO 10TW3-D4
JL AUDIO TWK™ 88 SYSTEM TUNING PROCESSOR
JL AUDIO HD SERIES HD900/5
Nav-TV OEM integration

Nav-TV and the TWK88 are must have's. NAV-TV keeps OEM functionality but gives you a clean signal to your DSP/AMP.

IMO upgrading speakers only would be a mistake as the system "is what it is" from the factory and is tuned accordingly.
Simply swapping speakers means your new speakers will be fed a signal that's tuned for your old speakers and the result will be suboptimal.

THe Nav-Tv device it the most critical part of any Raptor B&O upgrade followed closely by the TWK88. The TWK88 allows for proper tuning of the system.
Each individual set of speakers can be tuned/EQd proper timing set for center stage/proper volume for balance/proper cutover and slope settings...etc..etc

I did the powerbass OEM replacement kit total of 4 speakers 2 fronts, 2 rears and 2 tweeters basically I wasn't happy with my B&O speakers and wanted a direct replacement so a friend of mine proposed these and I got them.

After the install I noticed that the sound quality and bass are 40% better which for 240$ is not a waste of money, on the other hand if someone is looking for a higher volume speakers these are not yours I got about 20% of volume increase with this kit and I expected a little more.

Overall I am satisfied.

How much for a setup like this... out of my four cars the raptor has the worst sound system... The Trackhawk/STi/Z06 all outshine it... Was wondering if i can get more out of the system while keeping all stock functionality.... Any well known installers in the north east you can recommend as well?
