Help installing subwoofer

[Chris5112]

I need help installing a subwoofer in my 1996 explorer. Stock Amp but i installed an aftermarket radio. There are rca outputs on the radio but the sub has black and red terminals, one is positive the other negative. Also the radio is 60 Watts and the sub is more, atleast 350 Watts. What would be the best (and most cost effective) way for me to hook up this sub?

If it's an aftermarket sub then I would just run a new aftermarket amplifier to hook up to the subs. Of course you'll have to run power wire, remote, ground and RCA hook ups. If you want to keep the back clean maybe someone else on here knows a little more about factory amps. I'd post it in the audio section or maybe someone will move this post to get more responses. Good luck

I am looking to avoid purchasing a new amp if possible, im looking for the cheapest way to do this if its possible

You'll never get the sub to sound like you want with the stock amp. It's way underpowered. I paid $60 for my amp, and it sounds awesome with my 8" JL.

I also had to use a small sized aftermarket amp. I think it was about $80 and I made it fit in the stock mounting spot on the box. I had to run RCA cables and a power wire up to the front. The remote wire is already back there from the other amp powering the front speakers.
