I have a '21 4 Door with Lux Soft Top. Considering spending Ford Pass points and gift cards on the JBL sound bar just because i don't need anything else. Looking for feedback who's had their sound bar installed for a while what your thoughts are? Would you do it again? Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Thanks to @RagnarKon for pointing out the incompatibility I won't be pursuing this further

FYI the sound bar is not compatible with the B&O sound system included within the Lux package. You can install it but your balance will be all kinds of messed up since it'll be programmed for tiny 4" speakers and a full sound bar.

I definitely missed that, haven't read up much on it lately and don't recall that constraint from before. Thanks!

Well I'm seeing this thread 2 months late.

Have you looked into wakeboard speakers? I went with that on my Base. I love it. Someone out there has a bar to hook them up, though I had my shop fabricate me some brackets to hook up a bar (took me a while to get around to modeling them), and I get so much more sound than I did with the little pod speakers. Went with Rockville Audio 6.5". Just last week replaced speakers inside with a set of Infinity's as the Rockville one seemed like it blew out or something.

This is about finding a place to spend my points vs not being able to stand the audio. The B&O is fine.

Well then, being 2 months late I don't know if you ever did it. But I'd avoid it as the soundbar completely blocks your vision out the back. That's my opinion anyways.

Just stuck with stock premium sound, it's fine for what it is.
