Pictures of JL Subwoofer and Amps
BlackenedEdge replied to tahoebum's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
We're still waiting on your pictures of the BIG3 upgraded wiring so everyone on the forum can see what it entails on their Edge ps - tell your company to get with the times. My company vehicle is an '11 Edge SEL with MFT, Sirius, roof rails, storage bins in spare tire well etc. -
How to Add a Subwoofer 2011 edge
BlackenedEdge replied to edge535's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
Yes, we're sure. To test yours turn your bass up 3/4 of the way. Turn your volume up and listen for the bass to decrease as you raise the volume then notice that it increases as you lower the volume. -
How to Add a Subwoofer 2011 edge

[/quote Who said the battery and ground cables were not upgraded? The 150amp stock alternator is MORE than adequate to supply the necessary voltage and amperage for the 2 amplifiers I am running. I can easily get 125db spl inside the vehicle with zero dimming of any lights. For those who don't know what 125db is - it is the level that pain begins in your ears. A loud rock concert with on the floor seats will be about about 115-120db. A capacitor does have limited value with the electrical sytems in todays vehicles, but I had it laying around from my younger days of competing in IASCA competitions - there was room for it and it can't hurt the voltage supply of the electrical system. Here are the pics. Nice work, how bout shots of the sub/enclosure? So, are the "BIG 3" upgraded or not? -

I dont see any name calling other than you calling us name callers. -
Makes me nauseous everytime I hear someone call the EDGE a "truck"

How to Add a Subwoofer 2011 edge
BlackenedEdge replied to edge535's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
Keep in mind that the factory head unit lowers the bass signal as you increase the volume so you HAVE to install a JL Cleansweep or comparable unit if you want an increase in bass with your increase in volume. -

Where are the pics? We want pics!!! PS - Why did you install a capacitor? You'd get far better performance by upgrading the alternator, battery and ground cables. -

Also refrain from reading stupid posts from HOCKEY87 while drinking coffee as you could spill it and burn yourself. By the way how would your front passenger see a dvd installed headrest??? -

custom 12" subwoofer speaker
BlackenedEdge replied to miamil85's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
You might be able to fit 1 shallow mount 12 under the rear seat but keep in mind that the bottom of the seat slides forward a few inches when the seatback is lowered. There's plenty of room for 1 12 in the stock subwoofer location and there might be room in the spare tire well with modification (will know when mine arrives) -
I posted a few facts, no opinions. If you don't want your feelings hurt by the posting of factual information go spew your misinformation elsewhere.

1/4 miles times are not a measure of performance unless we're discussing performance vehicles. The Edge is not a performance vehicle. No, his point was that Ford screwed up the transmission gearing resulting in unacceptable 1/4 mile times. Ford isn't intentionally misleading anyone by emphasizing HP numbers. Horsepower numbers in a Crossover brochure are no different than driver headroom numbers, rear passenger legroom numbers, or cargo space numbers. All of these numbers are typical in advertising by all manufacturers and unless mistated none are misleading. It is apparent in your posts that you are feeling mislead due to being uninformed/uneducated on the terms of performance and 1/4 mile performance as they relate to a 4400lb crossover.

I've heard the Sony system and I agree it's rather nice for factory. I'm also looking forward integrating my EVO, thumb drives, portable hard drives, Sirius, etc with my SEL MFT/headunit. I've done hundreds of installs but this will be the first time I've opted to keep the factory headunit in one of my personal cars. That picture looks hella scary eh'

This isn't the Mods section, it's the Powertrain > 3.5 Section. Might want to doublecheck where you are before posting transmission misinformation in the future. While the misinformation that you spew is certainly entertaining it hardly makes you stalkable. Your original reply specifically spoke of 1/4 mile performance. 1/4 mile performance is relative to drag racing and nothing else. Nobody said that Ford wasn't interested in performance, what they're not interested in is 1/4 mile performance (your original issue) Ford, like anyone else ups horsepower to keep ahead of their competitors in the CUV market. I don't see where anyone said that the Edge can't or shouldn't have performance. I did however state that nobody buys an Edge for its 1/4 mile capabilities nor was it designed for 1/4 mile performance. The Cayenne, while 50 grand higher in price was designed and marketed to folks who have more $$$ to spend and want to haul the kids, dogs, bikes, etc around in something with some punch to it at the expense of mpg. These are most certainly NOT the same folks who would entertain the idea of driving an Edge. If looks, performance, and comfort are important to you why aren't you driving a Cayenne???

A 400lb fattie behind the wheel

You missed the point entirely. The Edge is geared for fuel economy, not for 1/4 mile drag racing. With "correct gearing" as you call it, the Edge would have absolutely NO customer base. Are you sure you're not 16?
-
LOL @ hoping a 4100 pound American car that gets 25mpg will do 14's in the 1/4 If it had the gearing to do 14's then the fuel economy would drop enough that nobody would by this thing

Gotcha, smart move!

Post some pics ! I've been sketching some custom grills for the '11 Edge myself as I think it's the largest ugliest grill I've ever seen on a car. I'll paint it black for starters but I think it's gonna have to go.
-
Just out of curiosity why did you not have the stock chrome grill painted rather than buying a new one? The shop could've prepped the chrome grill for paint far cheaper than the cost of a new grill.

This is a DANGEROUS hack. By all means blindfold the driver so he or she won't be distracted by the movies you're watching!
