Chris’s Problem: The Ford Raptor Sound System Letdown
Chris had been dreaming of owning a Ford Raptor for years. When the day finally came, he didn’t hold back—he opted for every premium upgrade, including the B&O Unleashed Sound System by Bang & Olufsen. On paper, it sounded amazing—18 speakers, 1,080 watts, and an included subwoofer. But reality didn’t match the hype.
As soon as he started driving, the disappointment set in. The bass was weak and hollow, the door speakers lacked clarity, and the system just didn’t have the power or depth he had expected from a so-called premium upgrade.
After searching online and reading reviews, he realized he wasn’t alone—many Ford Raptor owners had the same complaint. That’s when he found MC Audio and decided to visit us at Unit 10 / 5-7 Bermill St, Rockdale, NSW.
Arrival at Our Workshop – Diagnosing the Problem
When Chris pulled up at our workshop, we immediately recognized that classic factory-audio frustration on his face. He explained his disappointment with the B&O Unleashed system and was hoping for a fix—or, even better, a complete transformation.
We got straight to work, carefully testing and analyzing his system. Here’s what we found:
🔴 Underwhelming Bass: The factory subwoofer lacked power, producing weak, muffled bass instead of deep, punchy lows.
🔴 Thin & Harsh Sound: The stock door speakers struggled to deliver clear highs and mids, making music sound flat.
🔴 Lack of Power & Control: The system lacked proper equalization and tuning, making it hard to get a balanced, immersive sound.
🔴 Excessive Road Noise: The lack of soundproofing meant vibrations and external noise drowned out music, especially at highway speeds.
Chris wanted a strong, immersive sound experience—something that would truly make him feel the music while driving. He wanted crystal-clear highs, deep bass, and rich midrange tones.
The Upgrade Process – Transforming the Sound
After understanding Chris’s needs, we designed a high-performance upgrade that would completely change his Raptor’s sound system.
Step 1: Premium Speaker Upgrade – Focal K2 Power
We replaced the factory front and rear speakers with Focal K2 Power component speakers—high-end performance speakers known for their:
✅ Incredible clarity & detail
✅ Powerful, dynamic mid-bass response
✅ Precise and immersive soundstage
With separate tweeters, these handcrafted French speakers now delivered a level of fidelity and depth that the factory system simply couldn’t match.
Step 2: Sound Deadening – Eliminating Noise & Vibrations
To truly enhance clarity and bass response, we applied high-quality sound deadening material to all four doors.
✅ Reduced road noise for a quiet cabin
✅ Eliminated unwanted vibrations
✅ Improved bass response & speaker efficiency
Now, Chris’s music wouldn’t be drowned out by the sound of the highway!
Step 3: Custom Subwoofer – Deep, Powerful Bass
Since the factory subwoofer wasn’t delivering the low-end power Chris wanted, we built a custom subwoofer enclosure designed specifically for his Raptor.
✅ Perfectly fitted to his truck
✅ Deep, rich bass without taking up extra space
✅ Punchy, controlled low frequencies that made every beat hit hard
Step 4: 10-Channel DSP Amplifier – Precision Audio Tuning
The heart of the upgrade was a high-performance DSP amplifier. This wasn’t just about power—it was about precision.
✅ 10 channels of pure, clean amplification
✅ Digital Signal Processing (DSP) for custom tuning
✅ Balanced, immersive audio from every angle
We spent hours tuning the system, making sure that every speaker and subwoofer was perfectly adjusted. This wasn’t just a plug-and-play installation—this was a true custom sound engineering project.
The Moment of Truth – Chris’s Reaction
Once everything was installed, tuned, and optimized, it was time for the moment of truth.
Chris sat in his Raptor, ready to hear the difference. We hit play on one of his favorite songs…
💥 BOOM. The bass hit—deep, powerful, controlled.
🎶 The highs were crisp, the mids full-bodied, and every instrument was sharp and dynamic.
🎵 The soundstage was wide and immersive, filling the cabin like a live concert.
Chris turned to us with a huge grin on his face.
💬 "This is what it should have sounded like from the factory!"
Mission accomplished.
