Pack Summary
The Focal Inside FORD EVEREST Next Gen Speaker 8.0 Pack is a complete Plug & Play speaker and acoustic treatment upgrade designed for compatible Next-Generation Ford Everest vehicles fitted with the factory B&O audio system.
The package replaces the primary front and rear factory speakers with Focal Inside component speaker systems while retaining the original Ford head unit, B&O amplifier and factory vehicle functions.
Focal BAM XXXL acoustic insulation is also included as an essential part of the package. By reducing door-panel vibration, resonance and external road noise, BAM creates a stronger acoustic environment that allows the upgraded Focal speakers to deliver tighter mid-bass, improved clarity and better dynamic performance.
Pack Description
Improve the factory B&O sound system in your Next-Gen Ford Everest with a carefully matched combination of Focal Inside component speakers and professional-grade acoustic insulation.
The factory B&O system provides integrated amplification, equalisation and premium vehicle functionality, but its overall performance is still limited by the quality of the original speakers and the untreated door cavities in which they operate.
The FORD EVEREST Next Gen Speaker 8.0 Pack addresses both areas.
At the front of the vehicle, the Focal IS FORD 690 component speaker kit replaces the original speakers with 6×9-inch Polyglass woofers and separate aluminium inverted-dome tweeters. This provides clearer vocals, improved front-stage definition, stronger mid-bass and smoother high-frequency detail.
The rear speaker system is upgraded with the Focal IS FORD 165 component kit. Unlike a basic coaxial replacement, this separate woofer and tweeter system improves rear-cabin detail, tonal consistency and sound distribution throughout the larger Everest interior.
Both speaker kits are designed around Ford factory mounting locations and electrical connections, allowing the system to maintain a clean, completely hidden OEM-style installation.
The package also includes Focal BAM XXXL acoustic insulation for professional treatment of the vehicle’s doors. BAM helps create a more rigid and controlled mounting environment for the speakers while reducing unwanted resonance, vibration and road noise entering the cabin.
The result is a cleaner, stronger and more balanced sound system without replacing the factory head unit or B&O amplifier.
Why Upgrade the Factory B&O System?
The factory B&O system offers useful integration, amplification and audio processing, but the original speakers can still restrict clarity, dynamics, mid-bass control and overall system refinement.
Replacing the factory speakers with Focal Inside component systems allows the existing B&O electronics to reproduce music with greater accuracy and control.
The Polyglass speaker cones provide a natural and well-defined midrange, while the separate aluminium inverted-dome tweeters improve high-frequency detail and sound dispersion. This helps vocals and instruments sound clearer and allows the factory equalisation controls to operate through substantially more capable speakers.
Because the B&O head unit, amplifier and factory processing remain in place, all original vehicle functionality is retained. The upgrade focuses directly on the speakers and their acoustic environment rather than unnecessarily replacing factory electronics that are already integrated into the vehicle.
The Importance of BAM XXXL
Acoustic treatment should be considered an essential part of this speaker upgrade rather than an optional extra.
A premium speaker can only perform properly when it is installed into a stable and well-controlled mounting environment. Untreated door panels can flex, vibrate and resonate as the speakers operate, reducing bass definition and introducing unwanted noise into the cabin.
Focal BAM XXXL uses a multilayer structure to absorb vibration, reduce resonance and control unwanted sound energy inside the doors.
Its benefits include:
- Reduced door-panel vibration and resonance
- Tighter and more controlled mid-bass
- Improved vocal and midrange clarity
- Lower distortion at higher listening levels
- Better speaker control and dynamic performance
- Reduced road noise entering through the doors
- A more solid acoustic enclosure for the speakers
- Improved listening comfort during long journeys
By treating the doors at the same time as the speaker installation, the system can achieve a substantially greater improvement than replacing the speakers alone.
