2023 F150 platinum Sound System Issues

[Jerry3741]

My 2023 F150 platinum with the B & O Unleast 18 speaker system has started to malfunction. In the morning when the temperature is around 30 degrees or lower after setting over night & listen to siriusxm music the system will not have any Base at all. Music that i normally listen to at a volume of 6 I now have to listen at 10 level but there is no base sound. If the truck sets in the sun about a hour or so the base will come back on & works normally again. The truck has only 7767 miles on it.Serial # 1FTFW1E88PFB96631.

Hi there, Jerry! Go ahead and send us a private message with your VIN and the name and location of your Ford dealer, and I’ll look into this sound system concern. Thanks!

Is it possible it’s self preservation of the speakers?
I would think when the speakers get cold they are more brittle and subject to damage and I know from experience the deep base notes have destroyed many speakers
Maybe it’s built into the system if so it’s wonderful idea
Or not

It could be worse... all 18 speakers could be working and it sound like a Radio Shack $39.00 stereo system where the best recommendation to make it sound better is too start unplugging #%@&.

LoL....

All jokes aside, sounds like you have a loose wire to the football sized\shaped subwoofer. Cold and hot temps are allowing just enough expansion contraction to create contact. I'd be willing to bet going over a bump would also connect\reconnect the sub for a second...

Had a similar\not similar issue in one of my rental houses, extreme heat would knock out the furnace blower motor so the AC wouldnt run. Found the breaker wire was not actually connected but just barely touching the breaker. Put the wire in the breaker, clamped her down tight and the tenants never had a prob again.
