drunkenmaster Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I recently purchased a used 2007 SEL Plus. I really like the vehicle, but noticed that the stereo is very weak and very underpowered! No bass and little mids...didn't really notice during my test drive. After doing some research it appears that the 6-disc 4 speaker stereo was standard on my SEL Plus. I however have a single disc player. I also noticed that near the right wheel well, where some Edges have a storage bin, mine has what appears to be a speaker cover. Sub-woofer maybe?? I'm wondering if my Edge originally had the 9 speaker audiophile setup and the previous owner or dealer swapped out the audiophile stereo for the single disc player. I also notice that while driving around town the other Edges all seem to have some chrome trim around some of the buttons on the stereo, mine does not. Makes me wonder if I even have a Edge stereo at all...maybe it's out of another Ford vehicle. Is there a way to easily tell which stereo was put in at the factory? Does the Audiophile system have any amplifiers that I could easily locate? I'm thinking that if I originally had the Audiophile system, I should be able to just swap out the stereo and have a decent sounding system again.

Hi drunken. :D Not sure if this will help or not, but it's worth a try: Use the following website to retrieve a PDF copy of your original Window Sticker. LINK: MSRP/Window Sticker website To use the tool, click on the above link, then add your 17 digit VIN to the end of the website address in your browsers address bar, immediately after the "=" sign. Then resend the information to get the PDF copy Check both the Standard and Optional equipment sections to verify how your Edge was originally equipped from the factory. Once you know the original configuration, you can proceed from there. Hope this helps. Good luck. :beerchug: Edited September 28, 2010 by bbf2530 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbf2530 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the reply bbf2530. I think your link is bad. I keep getting an error when trying it. EDITED: Our posts "crossed in the mail". I was typing the reply below while you were posting your last reply above, Glad you were able to find the problem. You are welcome and good luck! Hi drunken. :D The link is working, I just tried it again myself. Perhaps you are entering something incorrectly. Double check the instructions in my previous reply. If it still will not work properly, post back and tell us the steps you followed (in your words) so we can try to figure out where the problem lies. Let me know how you make out. Good luck. :beerchug: Edited September 28, 2010 by bbf2530 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
