rwf78155 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 I have a 2013 Edge Sport and am considering replacing the speakers in the doors.... what did you use and are they better than the Sony's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrdublu Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Don't waste you time or $$$ replacing any of the sony stereo components, they are as good as it gets for given application. To be more percise, if you replace door speakers, you will need to replace the sub and the processor as well. The system is actually quite good, if you turn the mid down 3 notches, and increase the bass and tweeter 1 notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake456 Posted October 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 rwf ... I replaced my factory speakers with Kenwood 6X8 2-way speakers for budgetary reasons. I also didn't want to replace them with anything special until I was ready to add an amp for them also. Right now, they are just running off the head unit. Sounds better, but not a huge difference without the aftermarket amp. My stereo was not the Sony system, though. It was the base sound system. I would not replace the Sony components either for the $$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjones0377 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Are they ford parts or adhesive strips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake456 Posted November 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 OEM. Didn't like the look of the stick on sills. Very easy install. Just find the grey/purple wire bundled in the driver's foot well by the fuse box for power. Ground to screw going through firewall. While I had the sills off I did the rear puddle lights. Both installs combined took me less than two hours. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominatron2212 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 How did you do the lit cup holders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake456 Posted November 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Dominatron - I just used a strip of 3 blue leds you can purchase at any Auto Zone. Pulled the silver trim pieces on each side of the center console, unscrewed the shifter cover and tapped into the wire for the shifter selector light and drilled holes through each cupholder and stuck the lights to the inside of the cupholder. Make sure that when you place the lights in the cupholders you put them at about 7:00 position so they don't shine in your eyes at night. Hour job at most. Cost about $20 total.

snake456 Posted November 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) Recently purchased a Homelink garage door remote from eBay and installed it in the driver's side visor. Just be careful opening up the visor cover. Start at the center end of the visor and you only have to peel back about 1/3 of the visor cover. Tap into the visor light wiring, program it to your opener and done. About $30 total for a visor Ford is charging more than $300 for. Can't tell it's not factory.

Mirage52 Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Looks good. I have a '13 SEL as well. I haven't done anything aside from a black tailgate strip and roof rack/cross bars. My wish list includes: - tinted front windows. - chrome strip on bottom of windows -- comes standard on Limited. - chrome liftgate logo strip - also standard on Limited. - Deezee running boards. - LED driving lights - HID headlights I might get around to doing them at some point. I'm in no hurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
good2Bking Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Need some how-to guidance on changing out the 4 door speakers in my '13 SEL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake456 Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=x_1OeYMfwl4 Check out the link above. Easy job. Speakers are 5x7 or 6x8. Get a speaker wiring harness and it is plug and play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libra1224 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Snake456 can you please tell me what wire or fuse did you tap into for the LED strip lights? We added some to the front and rear flooring but currently is lighted by the cigarette plug that came with the LED kit. We would like them to be hard wired. Even better would be for them to come on when the head lights come on like they do from the ambient lighting when you get this from factory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake456 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 In the driver's foot well unwrap the wire bundle and there is a grey wire with a purple stripe on it. This wire turns the led lights on when you open the doors and when you turn the interior lights on using the dash switch. This wire is the dome supervision wire and the lights work right along with the dome lights. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake456 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Latest mod. Covered the silver trim pieces with matte black vinyl wrap. Love the look. Check it out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
