    sub/amp/radio help

    Can you try the amp in another car or try another amp in the Expedition? Try pulling out the deck and powering it from another source. Also take the ohm/resistance readings from the subs at the amp and then take each individual sub if it doesn't look right. It is probably reading around...

    fuse size

    The size of the wire can directly effect sound quality if the amp is being starved of current or voltage drops from using to small of wire.

    sub/amp/radio help

    Does the deck cut off at high volumes with the amp off? Try running the amp at 2 ohms, a 1 ohm load is really making the amp work hard. The higher the ohm load the more stable the amp is. Also try connecting a wire from the 12v terminal to the remote turn on to help eliminate that the amp is...

    cd changer

    You can keep the factory radio/ mach audio setup. The RF modulator send the signal from the cd changer through the antenna and you just have to tune the radio to the right station.

    cd changer

    It might be easier to just buy an aftermarket CD changer and a RF modulator to send the signal to the factory deck. Also you could ask a dealership and see what they say.

    fuse size

    I would run the 120-150 breaker under the hood and place the 80 amp fuse close to the amp. What brand/model amp is it? Kicker ZX750? What is its RMS? A 1000 watt amp should draw 66 amps according to OHMS law.

    No sound?

    The adapter that plugged into the factory harness should have a blue wire coming out and it should connect to the blue wire from the aftermarket deck. 1 or both may be blue with white stripe.

    My System

    Alot of systems/vehicles create more pressure with the window down alittle or a door slightly opened. The vehicle itself acts like a box and the windows or door you have cracked in the port. Have you ever been to a sound off and seen people compete with the windows cracked or a door slightly...

    sub/amp/radio help

    If the head unit is shutting down it is probably due to low voltage. Check the voltage going in the HU when playing it at high volume. If the sub/amp combo is not properly wired it could cause excessive current draw.

    A couple of codes

    Yes it is in the pre-cat. I was incorrect on which side it was on, it should be passenger. The side that cylinder #1 is on.

    A couple of codes

    The P0455 could be the gas cap being loose, a vent valve or a bad connection. P0133 is the driver side O2 sensor on the primary cat. If you are going to change one you might as well change the other.
