  1. Considering that we are both second gen Edges, I think the best place would be where the stock Sony Amp would be. You could modify the slits in there to act as vents.
  2. My guess is that the 2014 is going to be the same as the 2013 except with a few minor changes (e.g. color). It's the 2015 that we have to be concerned with drastic changes.
  3. az_edge: Unfortunately, everyone is correct. The grille is actually molded into the side panel. Some shops will take care of that for you (e.g. Unique Audio on Elliot) and it probably won't cost an arm and a leg. If you did get a stealthbox, there are some install instructions for Edges without the SW and the way to get what you need for the opening.
  4. JL has two thin subs. 13TW5 which is a 13" thin sub and the 10TW3 which is a 10" based on the regular W3.
  5. Did you try in the stock sub location?

    The only side effect of upgrading phones is that if I upgrade, the wife MUST be upgraded.
  7. This will be reflective of when I get mine and install them... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWBhP0EQ1lA
  8. Welcome to the forum. I owned a 2008 prior to my 2011 and could tell you what I learned from that. Audio- Installing Infinity's all around. Keep the stock unit as the wife likes the built in 6 disc. But, I need to hide a 10" sub somewhere. The easiest thing to do is get the JL Audio Stealthbox that can be hidden in the sides of the hatch area, a decent amp, and OEM integration since you want to keep the stock head unit. Exterior- Going to be blacking it out. Anyone have some good ideas on nice grilles that can be powder coated? Plasti-Dip is the going trend around these parts. Best person to talk about that would be Cellbine. Rims- Those stock salad spinners have to go. Will have to check out some members pictures for some ideas. Definitely a wise idea. Just make sure it is something you both agree on. Case in point, my wife likes the wheels I want to put on our 2011 which would be these: http://www.mrrwheels.com/gt1.html Brakes- Probably my biggest issue. They suck. So if anyone here has upgraded, please let me know. The only BBK for the Edge that I know of is by Steeda and it's not cheap. Engine/Tranny- This trans feels similar to an old slushbox. The TC seems finicky and while the shifts are smooth, they can also feel slow under load. Different oil perhaps? And is there any sort of tuning for the engine? Will be doing the exhaust shortly, so wouldnt mind tweaking the engine for a little more power. Unless of course bad things happen. Steeda also makes a program to up the HP that can be applied by a SCT Tuner. You may also want to ensure that the trans has the latest updates. Suspension- Not sure here. Wouldnt mind a little more reactive ride. Again, any tips? Many people get H&R Springs to lower the Edge. However, I am more interested in the rear sway bar and Strut Tower brace.
  9. Fave clay bar: Clay Magic Blue Close second: Sonus
  10. You won't be disappointed with the Dodo Juice products. I have used Pinnacle, Autoglym, and Klasse over the years. None have failed me.
  11. My guess is that the stalk switch may be defective and is not holding the proper position. This is not exactly a DIY project due to wiring configurations, etc. I'd recommend going to the dealership for that one.

  13. I have the puddle lamps and license plate LEDs. Great service and zero problems even with my demands (5K color).
  14. Shortly after I posed that, I did find out they have a 2 second warmup time. I also spoke with the off-road shop and their option is auxiliary backup lights. Not sure I am feeling that one.
  15. Shantz, what grit sandpaper did you use to smooth the textured plastic down?
  16. WWW: Both of my Edges were FWD. No PTU issues.
