I'm thinking of replacing the factory headunit in my '05 Explorer XLT...it does not eject CDs on demand and is out of warranty.
It currently has the standard factory AM/FM, single CD system with factory sub, which I presume is driven by a deadacated factory sub amp.
Does anyone know for certain if this system has an external factory amp which drives the four 5x7/6x8 door speakers? Do dealers typically know this sort of information?
If so, replacing the HU is going to involve more work than I anticipated since I will neeed to either run new speaker wires from the HU to the speakers or tap into the existing ones somewhere after the factory amp.
Thanks!
