Hello!
I'm looking for how to connect an aftermarket head unit to the factory amplifier unit for the door speakers. A pinout for the RCU and how to connect it to that would be fantastic, but me and my buddy have been stumped at finding out how to get the sucker to work. It's a 1996 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer edition with the v8 5l engine and JBL Premium Sound system.
No, we don't want to buy a wiring harness. No, we don't want to rewire our entire car. Either a way to bypass the factory amp without tearing up all the wiring or just using the factory amp would be awesome. I have an RCA cable that's split into signal and ground wires. Could we use that?
I've looked just about everywhere I could think of and couldn't even find much on the actual factory amp. Is there even a diagram someone has?
I've connected a sub up to the head unit and ran all the wires for it, including RCA and signal.
