stock amp and sub?

[robtoy_r]

first off i have no clue what sound system i have. anyways i took the radio bezel off and there is like a black box mounted to the left inside the dash does anyone know what that is? i figured it might have been an amp but i read on here that the amp is in the rear right panel so i took that off and mounted in there was what i belive to be an amp but i see no sub? any idea on what these are or where the stock sub would be? sorry if this has already been covered but i didnt find much on my searches

this is the black box in the dasah which i guess is for 4wd

and this is the tyhing in the rear panel, when i unplugged it the sound from the radio stopped working so i know its to do with that

The stock sub would be in the rear panel you removed to see the stock amp.

If your back cargo area has a pocket with a net, then you do not have a stock sub. My 96 XLT did not have one.

i thoguht thats where it would be but do u have any idea what that thing is thats back there to do with the radio? i read that some explorers have the "brain" in the back and the radio is just the display for it. but im not sure if thats what it is because i took the radio out from the dash and it seems like its all right there. im thinking maybe a previous owner had that display problem that is common and switched radios?

That "thing" back there is the amplifier

Is there a small plug and a big plug going into the factory amp??

 

[robtoy_r]

yea there is 2 plugs in the bottom of it, but i dont see any sub

 

[aznboi3644]

I guess you do not have a factory sub...if you did it would be clearly visible behind the rear passenger panel.

 

[robtoy_r]

i just dont get why i would have the amp without the sub

if I remember correctly from removing my stock amp and sub combo the amp is actually mounted ON the sub enclosure itself

The amp powers the door speakers only. There would be two amps back there if you had a factory sub.

You can see the two amps in this eBay auction...

I have an amp back there for my door speakers...its just an upgraded system...factory speakers sound like crap anyhow
