I have a 2016 Edge Sport and I agree the system is atrocious. Worst I have had in a vehicle thus far actually. In particular the high mids and highs are unlistenable. It also sounds like there is some kind of compression on the content that I would LOVE to remove. The content just doesn't sound nearly as dynamic as I know it should (this is from known content sources like high quality AAC [i know that statement sounds contradictory ]). I have been starting to think about replacing just the tweeters and then seeing where things are at after that. I have used DLS UP6i components in my past two cars (Acuras) and got really good results. The are a little power hungry, but the audio system in these Fords is actually powered pretty well. I think they just have some terrible DSP processing going on and/or their speaker components (notably the tweeters) are just complete junk. I think the DLS components would be a safe starting point, although I should mention that if you plan to do something like just replace the tweeter, you'll have to do a custom crossover to tone it down and cross it over at the right frequency. I have done plenty of this. If I move forward, I'll document what I do. Mark
