I have a 2008 Ford Edge Limited AWD and I have an issue with the sound system. When listening to music sometimes the Bass and Treble just stop working making the music sound awful. I found that turning off the stereo system then turning it back on after a second or two fixes the issue, but this problem occurs very often for me (about 2-3 times on a 3 mile drive). I believe the sound amplifier is the issue but I don't know where to locate the amp or which one I should purchase. Can anyone help with this issue? thanks.

Been a while since I've been on this forum, but I wanted to share my latest project I've been working on for a while. Factory system was OK when I bought the car but always knew I wanted to upgrade at some point. Sounds great! My wife, which could care less, even commented on the sound! Infinity Reference 6832cf in all four doors (tweeter swivels upward) Audiocontrol LC7i processor (Acubass is incredible) Blaupunkt AMP1504 4-channel amp (150W x 4 RMS) and Kicker Hideaway subwoofer under the "40" seat (not looking for a window rattler, but surprisingly puts out a lot of bass) The LC7i makes the sub perform so much better and the sound is so much more full. Collected components over the years and bought when I could get a really good deal so only have about $500 in the entire system, including cables and wiring. It was important to me that the car looked stock so I wanted everything to be hidden with minimal modifications. I am even surprised at the improved sound. Well worth your time if you care about the music in your car.

Now, that I am the proud owner of a 2011 Limited with the Sony Sound System, I do feel it's time to change the speakers and amplification since things aren't as clean as I would like. Given that I am not a person who installs Audio, I will be turning my Edge over to Audio Expression in Mesa, AZ for the install.

Long time lurker here... When I first got my 2011 SEL in 2012 with the stock stereo - no MFT, it sucked. It was so bad that highway travel was unbearable. So the first thing was to replace the door spreaders, we went with memphis / phoenix gold speakers, was done at a local shop as I do not know much about this stuff and am always afraid of breaking clips, etc... This was okay for a few months but the head unit is grossly underpowered, and it needed some bass. I read all the forums about the OEM subwoofer, and the aftermarket JL Audio (and its price, without an amp) And I really DO want that JL Audio hidden sub, but its a steep price to pay, and if I trade this truck in in a couple of years - its money wasted. I really want a nice low end sound but I do not want to have a big clunky box in the back taking up valuable cargo area, so after much debate I wnet with a small amp (Phoenix gold) and a Kenwood (Shelf type) subwoofer - its like a small shelf and I can still place stuff on top of it or also easily remove it if I need to. This Kenwood has a single 10" sub - and sounds really good - Im going back in this week to replace to new amp with a 5 channel amp though. Photos enclosed. Again - this just an FYI so you guys can see another option - I saw the guy pic on here that made the false floor and has like 3 10 or 12 inch subs and 3 or 4 amps where his spare tire was - and I didn't need to rock the block with my edge, nor did I have 4K to drop on a stereo. But this setup of mine sound super nice in the truck - and was around $500 in total - not including the door speakers that were previously changed. Im currently thinking of the Metra dash kit and a touch screen - but I do not LOVE the looks of the metra kit, and I am concerned I may loose functionality of the steering wheel controls.

Hi Everyone, I want to install an amp in my 2011 Ford Edge. I was trying to find a guide for identifying the correct color code cables, but have been unsuccessful so far. In particular, I am looking for the one that carries the signal to turn on the amp. I have a 2011 Ford Edge SEL with My ford touch. Any help or guidance in general would be greatly appreciated! Cheers, M
