Question on stock subwoofer and radio

[FDNYEMT]

I just bought a stock subwoofer with amp and cable that goes to the radio. i have a 99 explorer sport that came without a subwoofer. my radio has cd and cassette. my question is, is there a plug on my radio that i can just plug the stock sub into it? or do i have to do some work.

you will probably have to upgrade to the MACH head unit also. If your radio display shows text, it should have an output for the sub; if it doesn't, you dont have the MACH radio and there is no subwoofer output.

is there any other way to hook it up?

can i upgrade my radio to the 6 disc changer and then hook it up? i was reading in the tips page that 98 and newer trucks can do this. i have a 99.

a 99 qualifies as a 98+

just want to make sure before i spend money. the write up is a little vague. THANKS!
