tahoebum Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Here's a few pictures of the JL Audio Stealbox, amps, front tweeters, and Audio Control LC7. The amps/LC7 are mounted directly behind the rears seat in front of the spare tire. The depth of foam deck support blocks have been trimmed to go over the amps.

nextime Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Very awesome custom job! What headunit are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tahoebum Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Very awesome custom job! What headunit are you using? Factory SE head unit run through the Audio Control LC7. Wanted to keep it stealth. I will be adding Sirius tuner as soon as iSimple has their 2011 Edge factory ipod/Sirius integration unit for sale.

tahoebum Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Do you got a copy of the wiring diagram to post? No, I don't have a wiring diagram. I didn't install the head unit or electronics. After installed a couple dozen systems over the years, I'm getting lazy in my old age!

nextime Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Yeah I want to do this on my 2011 but no one has a kit, stereo or any info on doing anything to the 2011 yet since it is a whole new system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tahoe, Are your amps actively cooled (a fan in the amp)? If not, have you had them overheat yet being under the floorboard? I am doing the exact same thing you did in my 2011, and putting the amps in the exact same place, but both of mine are passively cooled so I am worried they are going to overheat. The 2011 doesnt have that foam so I wont have that there, but otherwise it is the same. Also, did you have to add a battery or alternate power source, or does the stock batter handle two amps ok? Looks great, and gave me the inspiration to put my system in finally! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nextime Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 In another thread Tahoe stated that the stock alternator and battery were sufficient and is doing the job perfectly.

There is no problem with overheating, but I'm sure there are some lesser amps that might have trouble mounted in this location; especially in warmer climates. MIne is a 2011 as well. Not all trim levels have the foam blocks under the hatch as pictured. Mine is a company vehicle so of course it's the base SE model with no upgrades.

We're still waiting on your pictures of the BIG3 upgraded wiring so everyone on the forum can see what it entails on their Edge ps - tell your company to get with the times. My company vehicle is an '11 Edge SEL with MFT, Sirius, roof rails, storage bins in spare tire well etc. Edited May 12, 2011 by BlackenedEdge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
