Sam I Am

 

 

I'm just a fan of RE products. I had them back in the day before they became main stream. I used to do audio comps for a couple years and RE subs were really popular amd set a few records, so i know they make good stuff. I typically think JL has been over rated, so I never had any of their products. However, I'm looking at their 8" w3v3 for the doors on my mustang if I don't go with Dayton Audio. I need something to keep up with the Hertz HSK Compo set I have up front.

 

For my wife's Edge I read up on the ID comp set, and that was on my short list until I remembered RE came out with a component set. I'm also looking at a set from Digital Design. I still have a DD9515 from my old truck sitting in my garage now. Their subs are quality, so I figured I would try the Compo set. I'm looking for a set that has a decent amount of low end and can take some power. I also was looking at the CDT 61 set with the TW25 tweet. I've used CDT stuff in the past, but it seemed kind of middle of the road. With this being the car she drives my 2yo is with her most of the time, so really responsive mids with a good low end are what I'd like for her as the sub would spend most of its life muted. I'm going to get the stealth box because it's the easiest way to add bass without modding the inside or having an enclosure take up space. How do you like the C5s? I've heard they were good, but haven't had a chance to audition them for myself. Lately I've been buying my stuff from ABT.com. If you call them u can bargain with them to lower the price. I got my wife's Kenwood DNX6990HD and my DNX9990HD for $1600 total, Crutchfield has the DNX9990HD priced at $1,399 by itself. I also was able to use a $100 MIR for each so I only spent $1,400. HalfpriceCaraudio.com is also really reasonable and if you like to trade or get slightly used stuff caraudioclassified.org is great. Competitors often sell items on there that have only been slightly used.

How did you really like the CDT speakers? I'm also leaning toward trying their higher end speakers and subwoofers. I really like that they offer 5-10 year warranties on most of their high end stuff. I'll be pushing those speakers to its limits long and hard so the warranty is a big plus.

 

sounds good Sam shoot me ur info to my Email (miico@yahoo.com) & Ill get back to you w a price for shipping & a box that thing will fit in...

Hey Mike, I sent you the email a few days ago but I don't know if you recieved it. I'll send it again keep a look out for it with the subject field: Sub Enclosure

amp is sold... Thanks freight_817!

 

Enclosure & woofer are still for sale...asking $100 for both or $50ea Thanks for looking!

Hey Mike, I think I might be interested in the enclosure if you still have it.

More Power Tuning has a tune specific for the 3.7, here is the link to the tune

http://www.morepowertuning.com/edge

Spoke to someone at the research and development department at Injen about a cold air intake for the 2011-2013 Edge Sport. He doesn't have one available right now but is willing to make one if someone in the Pomona, CA area has an Edge Sport that is willing to be the test vehicle to develop the CAI.

I have been in contact with the person who is in charge or research and development for Injen. He is willing to make an intake specific for the 2011-2013 Ford Edge Sport, but he needs someone that is near the Pomona, CA, that is willing to be the test vehicle for developing this intake.

I guess he is neither because both filters will let quite a bit of dirt into the engine. If you are going to get one of those intake systems change the filter on it for an AMSOIL filter, it may let in a little less air but not by much but will also not let in any dirt like those filters.

I'm willing to buy a wheel off you also, had the same problem with my wife also was parking the car and scuffed the wheel pretty bad. She will be banned from driving the Sport when I replace the wheel. Are you willing to let go of a single wheel?

What year Edge do you have? And I'm interested in the subwoofer enclosure. Did you do any mods to the factory sub enclosure?

Would you be willing to get rid of the enclosure without the subwoofer?

Dingo, knows his sport is one of the best looking and probably has the most mods on this site. I'd be lucky if I complete half of the cool stuff he has.

Okay took some better shots of my Sport with lowered with the H&R springs. What do you think? I think mine looks better than Dingo's............

Just kidding Dingo........ :fool:

Okay, y'all have some patience with me. The car is still a little dirty. It didn't come out completely perfectly, but I think it's close enough that It'll work until I can move a little better from my surgery.

 

 

 

I loved the way the black looks on yours, so I went to a local body shop and he has a guy that will strip the chrome off and he will repaint it to match the grill.

I have a 2012 Sport and have the same issue with the head liner and the dealership has informed me that nothing can be done about this and they will have a interior specialist come in and take a look and see if he can find a fix for it.

I think I have learned to add pics!!.......lol

probably best if you don't link a photo to your desktop, lol

LOL...... I couldn't figure out how to post pics since they redid this site. Exodus and I were hanging out last night and finally figured out how to do it so I will post some pics later. He actually took a pretty good one of my car last night.

I will take some pics later.

I had Lightwerkz install my HID's on Monday, they are the same ballasts as the Morimoto's just in a different housing. I went with the 5000k bulbs and it looks awesome the install looks OEM.

Sam, you should be pleased.

Got the back and I love it!! The ride is still smooth and it handles much better. This should have come from the factory like this, the car looks so much better.

Lowered...

 

I'm having my H&R springs installed in the morning, can't wait to get the car back and see how it looks and rides after.

Just got them will install them in the morning.

The exact link I posted is the ones I bought.

Thanks, just ordered them.

Ditch McGard. I've had these on since I bought it in June and have had no problems, they look great, and they're all locks.

Hey Dingo, I'm about to order these locks, is the 1/2" thread correct for the sport?

Yes and No,

 

First off I havent touched this thing for about 2 weeks because I was on vacation with the family so the project took a back seat.

 

I ordered chrome 22" Boss wheels as pictured above and received black and machined wheels instead so that was one set back.

 

I returned them and the chromes were out of stock and would not be available for about 6 months per Boss.

 

I ended up going with a different wheel and so I will take measurements with it some time in the coming week to have a custom bracket fabed to work with the brembo and the Edge AWD 320mm rotor.

 

For now this is the wheel. I am am swapping out the rear from a 22 x 9 to a 22 x 10 with a 25 mm offset so that it is flush with the fender, I do not like the look of it with small tuck in the fender. Spoke with the guys at Status wheels and he believes it will fit based on a couple Edge's hes done with this same setup. We will see.

 

I work on Saturday and Sunday is Easter it it may be another week before I make any serious progress on it, but we will see.

 

Good luck, have a great weekend and happy Easter. Keep us posted.
