For some reason I'm having a hard time finding answers to basic questions through Google searches and here. The answers might exist buried deep in a build thread, but for those of us looking for quick answers w/out spending hours reading through a bunch of threads...
My main questions are audio related. I'm moving out of my '13 Edge with basic audio and into the '18 Flex. My wife is getting the Edge and will be happy with the factory system so I get to keep my gear. To start, I'm wondering if I could be happy with the factory sound with a few minor upgrades, something I'll try before dumping ALL the Edge gear into it. I don't have a lot of time to do a ton of work, but also drive enough I don't want to suffer with weak sound.
That said, I want to start with replacing the door speaks and slide a small sub under the seat with built in amp. I have an LCi2 to feed the sub a level bass signal.
- what is the impedance of the door speakers? Could I swap them out for some 2 ohm Kappas?
- which speaks are full range or at least fed with the low end that I could tap into for the LC2i?
If I'm still not happy with the SQ at higher vol levels and need to take it further...
- Is the non-Sony w/8" screen internally or externally amplified? If external, where is it located?
- I don't see any speaker grills that would suggest a factory sub so I assume there's none?
I have a few non-audio related questions but after typing it out I realized maybe better served in it's own thread and so it wouldn't bury the lead here...
