If you want suggestions let me know. Don’t have B&O, just the standard H/K, but with a bit of knowledge and guidance from a car audio installer you can create something pretty amazing to our cars. But due to how the B&O is setup, prepare to get rid of the B&O multi channel amp and sound “improvement” trickeries - you can keep the head unit and all functionality except surround.

Here is what I did:
MObridge CANBUS converter
Mosconi 6-channel DSP/amp
SoundStream monoblock amp (for sub)
Focal front & rear speakers
Focal under seat woofers
Custom sub enclosure + 12” Focal sub
Add a really good installer who knows what they do - pretty amazing result. Surround systems are most often there really to hide imperfections in sound, I prefer hard core quality. And everything looks OEM, with the exception of the sub enclosure in the trunk - depending how strong bass you want, there may be options to “hide” the sub, or if you drive a coupe without folding rear seats (or if you don’t really care about foldable seats) there are some pretty good quality slim subs that can be installed against the rear seat back rest without impacting the trunk space much. And a good byproduct is that you get rid of the artificial engine noise through speakers.

PM me if you want more details, I have plenty of pictures of the install, but the quality is too good to upload here without first...
