Yes, it is adequate up until about 2500 watts. Then you need to start upgrading power wiring. Alternator is plenty powerful though.

Hey friends/family - I was curious what the long-term reviews were for replacing the B&O front speakers/tweeters with the pioneer or Morel components sans the amplifier. Thanks in advance!

If you do a speaker swap alone you will be impressed. Once you bypass the B&O system and amplify the speakers it will sound like a totally different truck.

the pac audio speaker wire interface , I don't need to connect to the subwoofer wires from the connector correct ? I assume I run wire from my new sub to the output of my a new amp ?

If you have an independent sub and amp you won't need to wire anything back to the Zen if that's what you're asking.

no I meant the pac audio plug ,its an adapter so u don't need to splice into the factory harness for speaker connections

This is correct. Don’t use the subwoofer wiring in the harness.

Newb question, if you don't use this for adding the aftermarket sub, what do you use it for? Replacing the amp and door speakers fully? Does this adapter eliminate having to run new wires to the front A pillar tweeters to get a clean/unattenuated signal?
