greysoliduz Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I'm planning to install subwoffer on my edge 2011 SEL too. But I am new to installing audio systems and I want it to install myself than to the authorized dealers could save money. I liked to ask you guys some qeustions, Here, 1. Where I can find the wire to tap on REMOTE TURN ON for JL amp? The remote turn on wire when switch the ignition on/off the amp will turn on/off also. If you mind guys could send me a picture of it. So I can locate it. I am looking that wire and somebody told me it's solid blue but I saw there's a lot blue wires under the dashboard. 2. Where I can get the audio source of right and left RCA input of JL amp? Can I get it from speaker lines in left side and right side of my vehicle? Or do I need to open up my Ford sync head unit? 3. How power source positive wire got thru firewall? It looks like very hard to get thru in firewall at driver side. Do I need to remove the battery so I can push the wire to get thru? Can anyone send me a picture too and how did get it done? I'm planning to buy a XD300/1 amp only for the subwoffer stealth box. The rest speakers will be directed to the head unit and my speakers side will be JL C3-570 coaxial with crossover 2 pairs. I saw this configuration and i have the diagrams, so I'm go with this. My only things I need to know are the questions above. Please help me to do this. I hope you guys response me soon. Thank you very much in advance.

wannabang Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Ah! I love installs. Fortunately, the first gen makes it easy to get to the back of the headunit, which is where you'll find the RCA connections, unless you use an LOC, which will convert the signal to a rear speaker into the necessary signal for RCA connection, so you'll lose the stock sub, or your rear speakers. Your remote wire I believe can be wired to somewhere in the fuse box, but I just put mine in the head unit when I replaced it. lol Best part about this car was not having to get the power wire through the firewall. Under the spare, there's a rubber grommet. I ran my wire under the car and ziptied it to pieces of metal along the way. As long as the rub isn't on the exhaust or next to anything intensely hot in the engine bay, you'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there, Yeah you were right the power source must get thru on rubber under the dashboard. And remote turn on should tap on fuse #35 (head up display). Thank you for the informations. But I didnt see yet the back of my head unit, maybe in a couple days I will look my head unit. Is there an RCA connection only for subwoffer at the head unit aside from 4 RCA connections for speakers? Thank you.

wannabang Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 The power wire can be run under the car. besides, it's a huge time-saver since the threading under panels takes years, then fitting it through the firewall is a tough squeeze. There are not RCAs for your main 6x8 speakers as they are applified by the headunit itself, but if you have a stock subwoofer, then I would imagine there'd be RCA for a sub back there. You can move the stock sub's RCAs to the RCAs for regular speakers which should be back there. Unfortunately, I don't believe the stock HU has a low-pass/high-pass filter to only send adequate signals to the stock sub, which would be run as a typical speaker.
