[QUOTE="m4dioses, post: 7857402, member: 573226"] Yessir, I tried the 71-5600 and the Scosche premium kit - both produced no sound so I chopped off the black molex in the dash and tried to hard wire the aftermarket harness to no avail. I no longer have the black molex connector in-tact in the dash so I was wondering if now instead of wiring to the wires inside the dash I could run 4 sets of 14GA speaker wire right from the harness to the speakers that are in the door. I read on an Explorer forum that the issue was because the wires in the dash are actually amp return signal wires and I have to get an amp bypass kit which is like $30 and just about the same amount of headache if I were to drop and run new wire sets.. but is it possible to drop and run wires right from the headunit harness to speakers? I've only installed head units two ways before - harnesses and hardwiring.. never ran my own speaker wire so I wasn't sure if it would work. Any help would be appreciated. : ) EDIT: The Scosche kit is the FD02B.. [/QUOTE]
