The rims look pretty nice on there...

Jarvis, how did you end up running the power cable. I know you were having a hard time finding a spot. Where did you come through the firewall at?

Absolutely nothing wrong with older songs or Tyrese for that matter, but there are plenty others to check out. The bass is nice, but I'm past that stage it seems. Regardless, I'm just giving you a hard time.

Hah I just noticed you were jamming to the '02 album by Tyrese. Come on now, there has got to be better tunes to rock to in order to check your new sub out.

Everything looks nice. I'm glad you got everything figured out after the whole fiasco. Take some photos in the day light so I can check those taillight out. That powder coating on the grille appears to have come out pretty nice, he did a good job on it.

Also, I'm not sure if your unit has it or not, but some headunits have the ability to turn off the internal amp. I would think if this has been done, nothing would power your speakers. Check your owner's manual.

Just a 12V power supply that you could use outside of your Explorer. Something you could hook your headunit to, and then hook a speaker to, to check the headunits internal amp. If everything else is hooked up properly, then you mentioned maybe something was wrong with the headunit; this would...

That was already suggested and I'm under the impression running new cables is a last resort. Check the harness first. Do you have a test bench you can work on instead of dealing with it in the dash?

I don't think there is going to be any right or wrong way to get the cables to the doors. You know where its starting from and where you need to finish, just look and find the easiest path. You should be able to get speaker cable into the driver's door by following where you took the RCA cable...

Have you run signal cables from the headunit to the rear yet for the amps? If so, which side did you run them down. When I ran them, I went behind the glove box and into the kick panel. Keeping it high and tight.

There should be no problem running the speaker cables to the doors. The hardest part will be getting it through the boot in the door jamb, but it can be done.

He doesn't necessarily need the factory amp hooked up though because it only powers the stock subwoofer, which he won't need any longer.

Yeah just double check your harness, I'm sure its something simple.

Worlddre is exactly right. In our generation Explorer Jarvis, there is only one factory amp. It powers the factory subwoofer.

I replied over on ExplorerX. I would just quit looking for the easy fix and do it right the first time. That way it would hopefully prevent other problems in the future.
