And there were no RCA outputs from head unit...only the speaker and power leads....

Yea...I felt the same way....the dealer told me they increased wattage from head unit to power the 9 speakers.....keeping cost down....the power is split the following..... Left front.......tweater/woofer Right front.....tweater/woofer Left rear.........rear door mid and 3rd row Right...

Correct as I suppose the sport is essentially a limited plus.....

I have not done the system yet...still pondering my options as I have another project that is taking all my time up...my 12yo son and k are fully restoring a 1968 dodge dart before his 16th birthday...so far we have completely dismantled the entire car to just its shell and are going to start...

This is true for the Limited edition but the 2013 xlt with premium 9 speaker system there is no amplifiers...I have confirmed this on my own vehicle as well as with Ford reps and with dealerships....there is no amplifier in rear quarter panel on xlt 9 premium systems.... So been...

Full kit? So this is all lights that come In the limited? Cup holders, foot wells, door handles, door pockets and the rear ones? And how are they controlled? Is there a part number? Thanks for any more info you can add...

Hey markcuss, When you ordered the speakers from Crutchfield did they send the adapters for free? They usually ship the adapters and wire harness with them for free....that way you would not have to cut wires.... I think metra 72-5600 are the ones for the explorer but need to verify that...

Thanks willied, i will try it out again, maybe from different site... Does it matter what hosting site I use for pics? I did try the pic link as you explained and i copied link from my drop box photo folder and it just posted the link to the picture but not posted the picture in the post...wow...

Your absolutely right deewan, I guess I didnt explain what I meant very well...LOL What I mean is I know what the system sounds like now, (not great) and I know new speakers will sound much better even on there own but what I wanna see is a comparison from all of the above....I wanna see what...

Thanks snm, I am planning a JBL ms-8 processor which will drive all speakers except for sub for now (amp addition later) and looking into either a JBL shallow 10 sub and jbl mono amp or a pioneer shallow 10 and pioneer amp in a custom fiberglass enclosure molded behind rear passenger panel. I...

Gotcha unsta.....Thanks I was wondering how u got ur pics up there....when I did a link to a pic from my dropbox it just put the link in post no pic.....lol

After the news of, well, I have no amplifier to get my leads off of to connect to a JBL ms-8 (which it would of been so much easier/ right there in the back panel off the OEM amp, and put the ms-8 right back there too). I decided to pull the dash and find the speaker wires so that I can see...

I went ahead and pulled my rear panel again and there was no amp found... I sent a message to Crystal to find out from Ford what the deal was and she forwarded that message on and responded to me that there is no amplifier back there unless you buy a Limited model with the Sony Premium...

So, in other words, even though we have a Premium 9 speaker sound system there is no separate amplifier....Which this explains why When i pulled my passenger side rear panel looking for the "amp", there was no "amp"...LOL Now I thought I read a post that showed a pic of a 2011 XLT 202A with 9...

OK, I guess no one is sure so I asked Crystal to check in on it for me and this is what she sent back to me.... read below... re: 2013 explorer xlt 202A 9 speaker premium audio Quote: Originally Posted by hmsracing Quote: Originally Posted by FordCustSrvc Quote: Originally...

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...

Me either...this is the only forum I had found of people even modifying the new explorer. I absolutely love this new platform. I have had many vehicles from many manufacturers and when we were in the market for another vehicle we tested A LOT of cars and suv and we kept coming back to this...

Lol....auto correction.....I tried typing Unsta and it wrote unstable ...sorry

Unstable, lol, yea, I sure didn't want you pulling your panel for no reason..... I had only wanted you to share your findings if you did.. I was under the assumption that there was an amp back there as the Sony system has as I remember other members stating so...but I don't believe they had...

Nice pics....so I take it a speaker swap isn't an easy thing unless you have an adapter for the new speakers, as from your pics that the OEM speakers and mount are a one piece unit, and that's why you had to cut away the OEM cones to reuse the mounts....hmmmm, good to know as I have component...

I am assuming you have 202A with 9 speaker premium audio? If so have you looked for the amp behind the passenger rear quarter panel? Can you look? Maybe take a pic if or if not you find it?

HMmmm. OK then, LOL.... How did I miss that? I pulled the rear passenger panel and did not find an amplifier. There was only one small black box about 4x5, same as I have seen in other pics which is not the amp but In the location where I have seen the amps there is nothing there... I have...

So, I'm wondering, is there an amp at all with xlt with 9 speaker premium audio? I would think that if it did have an amp that it would have been in same location as Sony but as noted in prior post I did not find one. So is there another location?(center console, in dash?) Or is integrated...

Hello there to all.... I am new to the forum and own a 2013 Explorer XLT with 9 speaker premium audio. I was expecting to find an amplifier behind rear quarter panel but when I pulled the panel there was no amplifier. I understand that the Sony premium in the limited has the amplifier but I...
