    Factory Sub and Aftermarket HU

    if your adding an aftermarket head unit but keeping your factory sub and amp, you need to add a 1500 ohm resistor to the remote turnon at the headunit. The new headunit is sending too much power for the factory amp causing the pop when you turn it on. The resistors you can get at radioshack for...

    Factory Upgrades

    I would sell the x that you have now..and buy a explorer eddie bauer or limited. You will spend so much time trying to change it over, spending money along the way and it probably wont work. Save that money to buy a better trim x and KNOW that it will all work. just my 2 cents.

    CB Antenna

    Does anybody know of a cb antenna than can go on the opposite side of the radio antenna on the hood? Maybe one that just attaches somehow in the gap between the hood and the side fender. I also dont want it to be too big, maybe two or three feet tall. thanks

    DVD Question

    completely normal. Ford uses the stereo head unit as a controller for the DVD player. Thats why you can change the volume of the DVD when listening through the speakers. Just turn the volume all the way down while your kids are watching a movie. BTW when you power off the stereo, a loud pop goes...

    Tri-coat painting

    My X has Ceramic White Pearl Tricoat color code F6. The hood is starting to flake off in spots. Beacause its in a small area that isnt very open and flat I think it would be hard to tell if it didnt match. So does anybody have tips on painting tri-coat? very old pic btw.
