Subwoofer?

[Tyleryac]

How do I determine if my Explorer has a subwoffer?

The passenger rear quarter panel will have a mesh portion built into it. This is for the speaker. If you don't have it, you probably have a nook type pocket.

Fifth picture from end, no sub.

Third from last, should have sub

So I found the subwoofer and it isn't working.

Looking back at paperwork from previous owner, it was disconnected. How to I access the subwoofer in the back? Just pull off cover?

Yup, remove plastic trim panel

Remove the interior panels on pillars C and D. Using a large torx bit (don't recall size, 45 maybe) loosen and remove lower seat belt mount (second row) then pop rear panel covering subwoofer off.

Ok, so I found the two cables that were disconnected and reconnected them. It still doesn't work.

cut/damaged wires or bad amplifier. Trace your wires back to the amp, then see what you find. If nothing, you may have a bad amp. Or, you may have a bad speaker... trial and error.
