Help, I want to add a stock sub to a stock stereo...confused..

[CJExplorer]

Okay...Heres my delima.
I have a 1995 4 door XLT
I believe i have the basic sound system with the cd changer in the center console.
I want to add a stock subwoofer. How would i go about doing that?
I bought a sub system at the junkyard and traced the wires from front to back.
I found that it unplugs in the passenger kick panel and i went "Woo Hoo" this should be a snap (No Pun intended)

I got it home and it fits the same and ran the wires to find out when i plug it in, im only plugging in 2 of the 4 plugs and theres no sound at all after that.

Heres pictures of what i have:

Subwoofer Unit

Behind Kick Panel

Stock Amp and Back Cargo Area

Let me know if you need any other pictures...Any help will be appriciated

Your head unit isn't equipped for the subwoofer. You'll need the upgraded head, and the harnesses that run from it to the subwoofer (I think- they may actually be there).

Yes- you need the JBL head unit to plug everything in. I think there was also a different harness from the head unit to the kick panel. I have the same setup you pulled and couldn't install it. Instead, when my head unit expired, I put in a Pioneer deck, and will run a small amp and sub off the head unit output and mount it on the stock subwoofer panel thingie.

i am going to try to do that too. I missed my pioneer cd player from my other explorer. I bought another deck thats the same model and i will try to wire it up to the sub.
