MikeCunningham Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Hi Everyone, So I'm now the owner of a 2012 Edge SEL. Looked at the door panels and it appears the speaker's are 5 x 7's. Can anyone verify this and how do you gain access to the speakers to replace them?? Went to Amazon and they say nothing fits. Can't believe this. Any help would be appreciated. Mike C.

Gimp Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 I ordered four replacement speakers from Crutchfield and they arrived yesterday. They're a good source that I've used for several cars over the years. You go through a few questions on the model of vehicle you have and they narrow down the choices to those that fit. Some require brackets which they provide, others don't. I've personally found brackets to be an irritant during installation so I stayed away from them this time. Crutchfield supplies the brackets and the wiring harness you will need for no additional charge. Now I'm just waiting on my 2012 SEL to arrive at the dealership next week. I had already decided that I wasn't going to wait to confirm how bad the speakers sounded before deciding to swap them out. For installation instructions, try this discussion thread: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?/topic/7009-2011-front-door-panel-removal/ It has all the information you need for the removal of both front and rear door panels. Comments like these are great because they describe the problems you might encounter and how to deal with them. I cherry picked the comments and did a copy and paste into a document that I could print out so that I wouldn't be running back to the computer during the installation. I plan on giving an update on that once it's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCunningham Posted November 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Wow, thanks for the quick replies. Went to Crutchfield and you guys are right. They seem to have everything. I've only had the Edge SEL for 2 1/2 weeks now, so I'll have to build up the courage to take the door panels off. The Boston Accoustics seem like the way to go. Mike C.

Mazz Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 I would suggest calling Crutchfield and talking to one of their advisors before making you purchase. They don't try to strong arm you into buying something while on the phone, there's no high pressure sales. I had some speakers picked out for my wife's 2012 Ford Focus, and they steered me toward another brand, based on my wife's listening preferences. Their advice was spot on.
