Factory amps.. who needs them?.. Wiring has been politely modified in my 98 SE. I can see where an amp has been mounted in rear area at one time (wiring still there). Factory amp harness had the two front door wires sets cut from it and bypassed at the plug, grey din connector cable still in use. I had sound in pass rear, some in pass front, little in drvr front, zero in drvr rear. Pulled crappy "Rampage" head unit out, replaced with Pioneer from my crash victim. NO SOUND.
Long story short... Got front two speakers figured out. Chased rear speaker leads to White/Purple * Brown/White in both rear doors (where the rears used for mono bass in factory system)? Tried using 9v on clipped wires at amp harness plug, no response at speakers. Don't see a good way to run new wiring due to Ford bulkhead connectors to each door.
I know what I believe I will be doing... but... What have you folks done to beat this?
