ArcherAve Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) Anyone know if the 2013 door panels are the same as 2012? I just got a 2013 Edge SEL, and the stock speakers are atrocious! The first order of business is swapping them out. Having trouble getting the molding off, not seeing snap covers for screws. I don't wanna break anything on my new car. Thanks!!

ArcherAve Posted April 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Nevermind, figured it out. They are the same. The handle molding is a pain to pop out though. Another question: Are the stock speakers a simple swap out? I've read a lot on here about tweeters, and I can't seem to find one. I don't want to lose the functionality if there is one. I've read about the need for a crossover. Does this apply to all models, or only certain speaker options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferneyhough Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 The stock speakers are a simple swap out but keep in mind that they are 5x7's & remember that they are not coaxial speakers which means they only have a woofer in them, they look like coaxials with a paper cone that comes out & up in the middle of the speaker. Any model above the SEL will have tweaters in the front pillars & since you have the SEL like I do you do not have the factory option to swap out the tweaters unless you cut out a hole in the pillar or buy them from the dealer for $150 cdn each plus tax. So you can do what I did & that was to buy some coaxals speakers. As for crossovers, the factory systems have none, but if you buy some speakers & they come with them, then you should install them. They really clean up the sound comming out of the speakers. Remember for every speaker you should have a crossover for it. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmi1989 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 if you want tweeters in the pillars just buy a component set, mount the midbass in the stock door location and tweeters in the pillars... its way easier and it comes with a crossover already... the sound quality will be way better than a coaxial...

Stoln Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Does somebody have pics of the removal of a 2013 door panel and can make a DIY. I too would like to remove the stock speakers in my 13 and hate to guess as to how to remove the panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
