Who Makes the Stock Audio for Ford?

[LMedina]

Hey Everyone, been looking around here and everywhere as to who makes the H/U's, speakers and amps that go into Ford Explorers (I got a 2000 X with the Premium Audio System and all I could figure out was that Clarion makes my deck). I'd be interested to know who made what for all the model year Explorers, since I also heard Ford changed suppliers over the years, and the specs on all of them. I read a couple of good posts here but just want more detailed info. Thanks!

Since I was also curious, I just pulled out all my stock stuff I pulled out long ago.

I know for a fact Clarion started producing the Decks and CD Changers in the late 2nd era, or even earlier (97/98+, my deck and changer were Clarion in my 98). Speakers are all Ford, no name brand (that I can see). If you have an amp, it should be with the JBL system with the stock system, which is all JBL. If I'm wrong, someone please correct me.

Factory Mach system is rated at 145 watts RMS, or 290 Watts peak. The head unit puts out 4X15 (4X30W @ peak), and a line-out to a dedicated subwoofer amp rated at 85 Watts (170 W peak).

The Premium Sound System is rated at total 80 watts, or 20x4.

I'm willing to bet Visteon produced some of the stereo equipments in later Explorers.
