[QUOTE="Firewalker, post: 8742323, member: 676743"] You can use a wiring harness to just the speaker harness if the system doesn't have a stock amplifier and use Stinger or equivalent 9 wire speaker wire setup. It even has a remote turn on wire in it. Most oem speaker wires can handle 100 watts without a problem and Ford does very easily. So yes if it doesn't have a oem amplifier then use the wiring harness and the Stinger 9 wire setup it is 1000 times easier then running individual speaker wires to each speaker. You run the Stinger 9 wire to the aftermarket wiring harness speaker wires instead of them going to the head unit harness very easy and lots of people do it here & at DIYMA with great results. Not like you are pushing 200 watts through it. Also Skarbage? No offense but no just no. Also you do not need 8 gauge speaker wire unless running a bunch of wattage to them, you can get by with 12 gauge just fine.
