Marvelous Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I have a 2013 SE, and I'd like to put my aftermarket amp in the back passenger side panel where the factory sub and amp are. I've searched and couldn't find how to remove the panel. Can someone help? Is it pretty simple? Also, anyone know if factory wires are ran back there even if this model doesn't have the factory amp and sub? And what is the best route to run the power wire from the battery to the back panel? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) Here's the procedure for the 2010 Edge (I don't have 2013, but assume it's similar). ****************** * Remove the rear cargo load area.* Remove the foam blocks from the spare tire well. NOTE: Inspect the safety belt lower anchor bolt cover for damage. If the safety belt lower anchor bolt cover does not remain in place, install a new cover. * Remove the safety belt lower anchor bolt cover and remove the safety belt lower anchor bolt. (To install, tighten to 40 lb-ft).* If equipped, remove the cargo net hook. (To install, tighten to 27 lb-in).* Remove the LH quarter trim panel. NOTE: Make sure the pushpin retainers are removed with the quarter trim panel. (Best I can tell from the diagram, there are two push pins located along the bottom center plus one at the end of the panel closest to the rear seat - at the door sill). * Disconnect the electrical connectors, if equipped.* To install, reverse the removal procedure. *************************** I highly doubt that they would have run circuit wires back there if the speakers & amp were not installed. According to the wiring diagrams, power and signal is embedded a in harness that runs along the RH side at the floor, into the RH side of the instrument panel. If, by some chance the wires are there, look for a brown / red stripe for power which comes from the smart junction box, violet / green stripe for the SUB +, green / white stripe for the SUB - (both these will be shielded) & a violet / red stripe for the sub enable. These last three come from the audio control module (radio). Edited February 14, 2015 by enigma-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
