I'm new to the group, and was wondering if I could get some input on a question So, I've been reading a lot of the posts on here and I can't come to a definite answer. So I guess I'll ask for my particular situation. I have an 05 Explorer 4.0 V6 with 130 amp stock alt and stock Duralast Gold 65...

Hello! I have a beautiful 05 Ford and I broke the CD reader, so I figured I'd update the whole stereo. I bought a SDC24USA 200 WATTS (50x4) stereo, that was listed under universal fit, but I can't install it because the wires don't all work. Are there wire adapters I'm going to need to get...

My neighbour has 2 Boston acoustics 12" subs and a Boston Acoustics amplifier. He says he paid $1500 for the set and comes with a prefab box. He is offering it to me for $150.00 Do you think this is a good price for this setup?

Hey, guys, been a while since I've been on here, but in the past month or so, my 1996 Explorer Sport has developed some odd issues with the speakers. While going on rough roads/terrain, I've noticed that the front driver's side and rear passenger side speaker have intermittently become softer...

Hey all, I'm a broke high schooler with my mom's old Explorer, and this car hasn't done me wrong (I actually love it), except for blowing sub and frying the amp. I've been trying to wire these godforsaken aftermarket amp and sub up to the factory head unit in my '01 Eddie Bauer for...

I have a 94 Explorer XLT. I bought my truck, Hal, the day after Christmas 2011, because I had to have a ride right away. I got him for a steal. But... when I bought him, he had two speakers in the back under the seats from like a cheap home stereo. They were wired directly into the back of...

I just installed a pioneer avh-4500bt into my car. I tried installing the aswc-1 steering wheel audio control adapter. I have the red wire wired correctly and the black wire grounded (which I'm pretty sure I can just connect to the black wire of the aftermarket stereo wiring harness) but I...

I have a 2012 Explorer base model. Would love to upgrade the standard audio system. Willing to make incremental improvements. Budget conscious. What is first piece you would upgrade and what would you replace it with?

OK guys, Has anyone with the 9 speaker premium audio done any upgrades yet...I searched the forum and can only find limited models with Sony system.... I had the understanding that there was also an OEM amp behind the passenger rear panel. Well I removed mine and found no amplifier...

So the audio "in" jack in the console of my 08 LTD has gone bad. It broke the tip off a cable I was using and the tip lodged in the jack. I was able to remove it, but because it was in there for so long, it stretched out the conductors. The conductors are very hard to get at. I tried to...

I was wondering where you guys put your equipment? I not only have an amp in the back but i have a 15 farad powercore, line driver and remote turn on unit, so theres a lot of stuff. I was considering putting a piece of plywood under the carpet, glued to the actual floor that would allow me to...

I just got a new sub and amp set up last week, Sony X-plod 400watt and JBL 12" sub in vented box. System sounds great other than a really weird annoying whistling noise coming form the subwoofer. :mad: It the pitch goes up when I press on the accelerator too. I can't hear it when I have the...

Alright so I've been doing some serious googling and searching this forum trying to find info for a custom box for a 2002 explorer. I wanna save the trunk so I'm looking for something subtle. Everyone seems to post about 01 or earlier, and it's a different fit. I really wanna put the...

We have a 2011 Limited with roughly 6200 miles on it. From the get go, we have had an issue with random static/crackling coming from the rear speakers. It doesn't matter if the radio is on or off or how the fader is set. It usually starts out very subtle and gradually builds up to where it is...

I just bought a 1998 Eddie Bauer Explorer. The guy I bought it from said the radio only works from the steering wheel and I thought he was crazy....he was right. What could cause a radio to work only from the steering wheel? Nothing lights up on the dash for the radio and I stuck a cd in and now...

I am new to speakers and also to building anything like a speaker box with an amp or anything like that. I know the products here are cheap and probably not best quality, but this is purely an experimental build, and I want to know if it would work. The amp I am looking at is the Kicker 100W...
