Go to a forum dedicated to an explorer and you'll more than likely find someone on there that could give you some help with that particular vehicle.

For that small of an amp, 8 awg is plenty.

A normal amp kit comes with the power wire, ground wire, fuse for power, rca cables, a small amount of speaker wire, and various connectors and other small parts. With that being said, read what the manufacturer recommends for power wire size. You didn't say how many watts that amp is so I have...

Total That's what soundqubed recommends too. When I designed the box for the kicker with winisd combined with other sources, that port size kept the velocity low. I'm not so sure if that box is a good idea or not when looking at this sub since it will be moving quite a bit more air. I'm...

I finally got around to putting my sub and amp back in after sitting for a long time and got in a rush to meet my friend for beers on his birthday and didn't set my amp properly. Long story short, I fried the coils on a kicker cvr 12. Many on here are probably happy to hear a kicker is dead lol...

I'm trying to add on a 4 channel amp and sub amp to the stock setup in a 02 Seville with the non-bose setup. Anyone have the color coding for the wires at the factory amp to tie in for the signal? I've checked on google and cadillac forums to no avail.

It comes down to how confident you are in setting your gains. The higher the number, the safer you are with your equipment. When you tune with a negative db, you run the risk of putting out more power to your speakers or sub than you had actually intended since a lot of music is recorded with a...

They won't have sufficient power. Bose is designed normally for 2 ohm or less.

Let me know before you get rid of it. I will be at work till about midnight so I will check the forum when I get home.

Soldering is a better connection. If you have the supplies already, try it out on some spare wire and see if you can do it. If you can't just crimp it. Truthfully until you get in really high power applications, you would never notice the difference.

Never heard anything back. Still interested.

The best connection is to solder wires directly to those silver terminals. If not doing that, they came with a short harness with the opposite connector for each terminal. You can crimp the two wires together. Or you coukd solder the sleaker wire and the harness together.

What you decide?

Do the new ones have spade terminals like the fosgates did or do they have a push type connector? If they are spade, they will come with a piece of wire with the opposite spade connector to slide on to the speaker terminals. If that is the case, you can use a crimp to connect the supplied wire...
