- 2021 Mach-E Premium 4X (ordered)
Cutting out the crappy center channel speaker in the S550 was such a game changer, I just assumed doing the same was preordained in the Mach-E. So it sounds better, good enough to retain? Is it a better speaker quality? Or do you think the sound engineers just learned their lessons from the S550 system and actually incorporated that channel better in the tuning?The B&O system in the Mach-E sounds nothing like the one in the S550. I did a similar thing as you in my S550 and disconnected the center channel speaker but replaced the factory sub with a JLAudio 12" Stealth box sub and added one of there mono amps. I also like the sound of the system in the S550 as it has more speakers up front (2 tweeters, 2 midranges and 2 mid-bass). It has a fuller sound with better midrange since they are places high in the doors and not down low.
After replacing the sub in the Mach-E with a similar JLAudio 12" sub and amp, the system does sound pretty good but different. Less presence since there is no midrange speakers but has better imaging since the two tweeters are pointing at you (in the sound bar) opposed to them being in the A pillar. I did not disconnect the center speaker in the Mach-E like I usually do in other car systems as it helps with the lack of midrange. I think once you replace the sub and tweak the audio settings, you will like the Mach-E system.
