    I've never attempted this so i just have to ask this question even though it may be a dumb question. I own a '01 expedition and as some of you may know i planning to set it up. For now, i want to keep the stock HU in it (i'll change it later). Now, the ford factory HU's don't have RCA connections so how can i hook up 2 amps if i there are no RCA connections? Right now i have a powered 12' sub using hi input but if i'm going to change it i'll definately have to use RCA's. HELP!

    The PAC OEM-2 works great. Crutchfield has it and I installed one in my girls car and it works perfect. So many options with it. It has an advantage over the Trock Loc in that in can splice into front and rear speakers for front and rear RCA output. So since you have 2 amps that may work out better.
