I'd recommend you look into the AudioControl LC Series amps as well. They have an award winning built in dsp and AudioControl is known for flattening factory signal. This is especially important considering we don't know the necessary changes in forscan for the B&O system and considering the Rockford DSR1 is not yet compatible with B&O.

Used Noico in all of my doors. Great product, no odor. Completely necessary!

Lots of good selections in this thread. I've been really impressed with my AudioControl amps and Morel Tempo Ultras. I was going for high fidelity and that is what I got. Haven't installed a system in my 18 yet but here are two different revisions of my amp rack and equipment I built for my 16 Lariat with Sony. The first utilized morel amps and passive crossovers, the final variation was all AudioControl with active crossovers and man did that system sing! The Morel Tempos really blew me away for their price point. They were warm and precise with excellent midbass. Used a DSR1 for the dsp and factory integration. The entire system was 100% plug and play with no splicing of the factory wires and took all of 20 minutes to remove before I traded for my 18. Fingers crossed the same integration comes for the B&O.
Nice set-up.

I think I got a month before I start my install. I just had to order a new exhaust and I have a lowering kit with wheels and tires to install. Hopefully by then There might be a harness coming out and I get to hear some component speakers. I have gotten a lot of recommendations to check out the Morel Tempo Ultras so I have to find a local shop that has them.

I was looking into AudioControl Amps and have been told there are just better amps out there, they said the DSP was great though. I think they would have worked just fine for me though.
I'm going to see if I can contact JL next week before I buy the JL VX1000/5i and see what all this amp will do.

Thanks again for the great advice.

This is now available. Pricy but it is the first of its kind for the B&O! Completely removes and replaces the B&O amp/dsp.

Here's the installation manual:

Yeah I just called them. I'm really thinking about getting this unit, it sounds like it will be the best way to get a clean signal.
It will probably change my plans for my system now.

Going to look over everything now and make some final decisions.

Just ordered the ZEN-A2B.

Going to get the JL VX1000/5i and going to go with the Morel Tempo Ultra 602 and the Morel Tempo Ultra 602 Integra.

Only thing I need to order is a wiring kit, and the fast rings and speaker adapters. I will order the fast rings and adapters after I order speakers and I will probably put somthing together from Knukoncepts for wiring.

I think I have this all planned now. Just waiting on the MTI sub box and JL subs.
I might lower the truck and put my wheels on before I start the stereo. I will try to do a build thread.

Here is a picture of some of the parts.
And a big thanks to Bruce of Hush Car Audio. I ordered the JL VX1000/5i and the Morel Tempos from him, they came super fast at a great price.

Awesome gear ! Can't wait for your install pics , especially curious about the twitter locations and the ZEN quality. I heard it's excellent; did you get it from Bruce ?
