    '94 Explorer factory amp vs bypassing factory amp

    I've read through the forums about the factory amp and know where it's located. I'm installing a new HU rated at 4x55. I bought the harness adapter for it and also bought an amp bypass harness in case I need to use it. I've also already installed new speakers. Am I going to have better sound...

    I bought a negative battery cable for a '94 Explorer but it doesn't have the engine coolant temp sensor connector. Instead, it has two auxiliary connections. I found a battery cable replacement thread (91-94X Battery Cables) and ordered the negative battery cable mentioned from NAPA and it was...
