looks great happyhour...assuming you have everything figured out ..i know this thread has been up for a while.if not u must get your signal after the factory amp for your sub..and your lc6 will take that signal from the rear or wherever and that is a full range signal but you are going to lose your control on the factory head unit. i lirerally changed everything exept my head unit.i just dont want to spend all the money to get new head unit and keep my sync and nav.the lc7 has done a decent job of recovering my signal when volume is up. i modified that factory enclosure and honestly ....it sound pretty awesome..wish u could hear it,u would honestly be surprised. but regaurdless i am building fiberglass enclosure as we speak..pulled the form out last night and got a second layer of fiber on . ill post pics when its done. anyway system is looking good!! is that other tray on the right side metal?? looks like diamond metal

so ive never been a big fan of 8" subs...the difference in sound between an 8" sub and even a 10" is huge to my ears.so options for the edge are as follows...u can accept the system that you have in your edge now....bye a stelth box with JL audio 10..... Build your own fiberglass enclosure......or...you can modify your factory enclosure to accept a 10" shallow mount sub! i know the enclosure is tech to small for even a shallow mount..but not by much. here is how i modified the plastic enclosure step by step. it is in the car and finished and it sounds awesome for a small enclosure...i will eventually build a box but am very pleased with this finished product for now. first i only found one sub that was close enough in dimensions to even try this. i used a kicker comp R dvc 10 2ohm. you will need to make a ring out of 3/4" MDF any less than 3/4 the enclosure is to shallow,any more than 3/4 your quarter panel will touch the surround.yes,its that close. for the kicker the ring dimensions are 9 1/8" inside and 10 1/2" outside,i used a divider caliper i got from harbor freight for like 9 bucks...carbide tip marks well on most any surfaces. jigsaw to cut ring or router if u have one.sand ring smooth corners. the ring should fit flat along the ridge that travels arond the enclosure.there is a very small piece i had to cut where the mounting arm is on the oposite side..ill post pics of all this..i cut out with a cut off wheel on my dremil..but the ring will cover the hole perfectly and will seal at the end of the mod. after you cut the piece out from the mounting arm the ring should sit flat all the way around. place the ring under the sub frame and mark the mounting holes for the sub on the ring.. place the ring on the enclosure and drill holes with counter sink bit ..i drilled two and put screws in right away to secure ring.once the ring is secure to enclosure cut out plastic inside the ring..i stayed 1/4 inch away from inside of ring so i had a good lip to seal with silicone on the inside as well as outside ring. i painted the ring black just because i wanted it to match,,do whatever u like. silicone bead around bottom of ring and secure to enclosure. tool the silicone inside ring and around outside.. set driver in and if u didnt paint your matks from before will still be there if you paint remark hole and pre drill...mount sub into enclosure and go hook it up! hope this is useful to someone...i havnt seen anyone put a ten in that plastic box ..it isnt permanant in my edge..i will make a fiberglass box eventually but for now..it cost me maybe 25 bucks in material and whatever you pay for your driver,,,enjoy! anyone want to buy a polk audio 8" dvc?

believe me i searched quite a bit to find the correct place to get signal and wire schematics for my 10...do u have factory sub enclosure? -
Have you tried cleaning the tracks and lubricating . Then re initialize... Mine did the same thing but luckily I got it shut.. Did research and figured it is worth a try to clean and lubricate... Ford dealer actually gave me a can of the stuff they use for free.. They probably felt sorry for me. Lol. Anyway... It works again.

So one piece of advice if you haven't cut into the tray yet... Make sure the amp is low enough below your floor panel. And the post I had to cut out is actually a sort of stop for the removable floor panel... It still functions fine but it had to get cut. -

not sure what you are refering to that is located there happy hour? in my 10 there is no room behind that panel to put anything. i picked a spot that made the most sense...had to modify one of the trays next to spare tire but i think it came out well. heres a pic... -

I pulled out both of those trays ... The 4 channel just won't fit. I put the amp for sub behind the factory sub enclose... The 4 channel fits under the rear driver seat but when seat is down it is literally laying on amp... I keep my rear seats down usually and would like to keep it that way.. I swear there isn't a flat piece of real estate anywhere in this thing! Lol but I wouldn't trade it for anything ! I just worry about the bottom of seat laying on amp
