  1. It could very well be a bad amp or just loose wires. When I got my first sub amp it was bad and sending it in for a replacement was the only thing that solved the high pitched squeal. My dad and the Ford dealer mechanic couldn't hear the sound since they're older and have lost that part of their hearing so they both kept telling me I was crazy! Old guys... sigh...
  2. I made my own sealed sub enclosure. There wasn't enough area in the stock enclosure for a 10 to breathe. The seat bottoms go down and forward when lowered. The bigger seat goes down all the way over the speaker amp but the shorter seat doesn't quite go down all the way (about an inch up) because my sub amp is a bit taller. I don't worry about it because I don't put heavy stuff on it but I probably wouldn't sit on it in the down position. I put it down with all my ski gear last week with no worries though. Hope that helps.
  3. Reef - I put my LOC in the same location. I have all the RCA's going into the sub and then split them off into the front speaker amp. Can you call the amp manufacturer to see if they have any ideas? Mine are boutiques so it's easy to get ahold of the guy that makes them. Good luck, sorry I'm not more help.
  4. Chazman - first off, thanks for your concern - I did consider the flying projectile part of my pillar conversion project. It's not full blown fiberglass, just the glass part with no fiber and only the bottom part around the speaker. The rest is just a light covering and then the whole thing is covered with the suede super-duper glued on. I really don't see it shattering because of the fabric but did consider that in the build. Securinu - I don't know about the other Edge's you've worked on but mine is an SEL+. The 'pod' in all 4 doors is 6X8 shaped but has two distinct speakers inside. I can post up a pic if you'd like to see one. As far as the tweeters I love the Seas as well. I have them in my home audio towers. Here's a link to where I got them at Madisound. EdgeNut - There was almost no room under my front seats due to all the mechanics and the heater components. I can lower the larger seat to flat but the passenger side doesn't quite make it. That being said it is fairly easy for me to disconnect it if I ever really needed it truly flat. Happy New Year! Cheers!
  5. Now that my project is finally done I thought I'd share. (You can see my other thread for my subwoofer upgrade). I have an SEL+ but wasn't happy with the sound. I was expecting the Edge Audiophille system to sound as good as the Audiophille from my previous Limited Exploder. Not so much... I took out the door pods that hold a 4" speaker and tweeter. I put in my own Ascentant Audio 6 1/2" speakers. I made a fiberglass mold of the fake grill section on the door. I cut out the part where the speaker actually is and then covered the fiberglass with speaker grill cloth. Then I decided to put the tweeters in the A-Pillars. I went with some Seas textile tweeters. I did lots of fit tests to get a good angle with some PVC pipe so the tweeters would be angled towards the seats. Then I fiberglassed the whole pillar. I finished them off with some black suede. You can see the angle better in the second pic. Here are my sub and speaker amps under the rear seats. I am really happy with my new set-up. I listen to a lot of Classical, Jazz and Hip-hop and have been pleased with all. Happy New Year!
  6. Hey everybody, I thought you might not mind seeing some pix of my new lights. I couldn't be happier and you will be too! One with the driving lights comparing before and after With the brake lights on at dusk (all three tinted) Here's a comparison of the reflectors on the tinted Edge and my Cobra A good upclose one - nice and shiny!
  7. Yup, I just got them tonight. Apparently they were delivered two days ago but the new mailman dropped them off at my neighbors 2 miles over "accidentally". I'll put 'em on tomorrow and send off the next set! Woo!
  8. I want new wheels really bad since I don't care for the chrome ones that came with my SEL+. Have any of you had luck selling yours? Let me know where if you have any good ideas. I tried listing them on Craigslist but got zero calls. I've sold some Cobra wheels on EBay before but it was a huge pain to ship them. I want to sell them with the tires on since I want to get bigger wheels. Thanks in advance!
  9. PayPal is still my favorite since it's instantaneous... that, and I already use it to buy 'way to many' fun bits for my motorcycle already so why not continue the trend with my Edge!
  10. Hey Candy that's exactly what I was after. Thanks!
  11. Don't forget me Scoopo! I'm totally in, just tell us where to send the PayPal!
  12. Have any of you heard back from AL about the dash removal .pdf? I sent him a couple messages this summer and still haven't gotten a reply.
  13. Hey there, I'm up for this mod but I'm confused by all the different prices beign thrown around. Is it $50 now and then another $115 later or $150? Also are the three lights easy enough to get off? Cheers,
