Why does everyone hate the B&O stereo?

Have you purchased a Raptor yet?

No, but might have a deal tomorrow so we'll see and hope.

I wrapped my sub in dynamat on my 18. Huge improvement. Still need to do it to the new raptor.

So you wrapped the stock enclosure and it made a big difference?

I'm confused as well.

I can't hear shit in my raptor over the tires humming, the light bar whistling, the bypasses clicking and the motor banging off the redline.

It'll get worse when the cage is in.

Stereo Intercom and headsets, here I come.

Get an intercom system with the fancy Bose aircraft headsets and you won't give a crap about the B&O system.

Do yourself a favor and get the Lightspeed Aviation headsets instead. I am a pilot, have used both, and used to work for Lightspeed, so I know the products inside and out. The Lightspeed's have superior sound quality and are the ones that keep pushing the ANR envelope forcing Bose along. I used to do side by side comparisons for customers to demonstrate the difference.

Nobody mentioned anything about the content you're using. Big thank you to Noah @The Car Stereo Company who helped a lot to edemucate me on how to properly burn all my Cd's to a USB with the WAV lossless format. The system sounds tremendously better with the USB as a source. He was a giant help since I had never burned anything, never used a USB for music, and didn't know shit about all this new tech. I still have a box of 8 tracks in my basement!

Yep! I NEVER use Bluetooth for music.

Yes.

Ordered a a couple of feet from amazon, unbolted it, wrapped it, put it back in.

Do you remember what size you ordered? Sounds like a great idea.
