B&O 8 speaker system - how to cut power to center speaker?

[Ricksc]

Does anyone know a way to cut power to center speaker? Just ordered new door speakers and a better amp. I feel too much volume coming from center speaker. I will try to not use amp to center speaker. Just seeing if anyone has done this other then unplugging speaker.

You can easily disconnect that speaker in under 10 minutes and that may be your best bet. There are a number of speaker configurations within the ACM in Forscan, where you may be able to disable it as well.

I have the non-speaker cover and pad if you decide to remove the speaker assembly.

That center speaker is an abomination. B&O should be ashamed of this setup.

First I've heard of this, can you point us to information on these configurations? If we can adjust the balance between the speakers, that would be amazing. I maybe I'll stop being so pissed off about this setup

What do we put in the values of *? Haven’t found any info on this about ready to just disconnect it. I have my fade 80% to rear and still over powered by center speaker.

Use the spreadsheet that @Livnitup created (below) to see the available options based on your trucks configuration.

Is there documentation what the crap this means? lol >.<

Unfortunately, it's mostly teach yourself. Always make sure to backup any modules you are changing just in case something goes wrong. Additionally, each value has a number of editable positions. For the example above, there are 10 positions for that value along with 2 check digits at the end. I would advise researching as much as you can prior to making any changes. However, once you get the hang of how it works, it's pretty easy to modify things.

Is there information somewhere on what these do?

This could be potentially helpful. 783 is DSP - Audio Digital Signal Processing Module

yeah no the B&O 8 speaker system is absolute dog sh*t. i had 2 guests in the back seat the other day and they freaking thought that i was playing music through my phone speaker in the front seat. ?‍?‍

I believe it. Mine sounds like there's a BT speaker sitting on the dash.
I set the fade to like 75-80% towards the rear. It helps a little bit, but changes the sound. Gets more muddy...

I bought the OBDLink EX the other day, it was delivered last night. Need to get me a Forscan license and I'll start messing with these settings. Hopefully find some useful configuration. I'll try some free(-ish) options first, because I start replacing parts

I changed the stock 1 inch magnet speakers for a set of kickers. Made a huge difference in sound.
