My subwoofer delete solution

[silver bullet]

When I found a dummy speaker and amp attached to the subwoofer housing it made scatch my head. So I found a amp and sub to replace them, not perfect but they work.

Wiring details please!

I used the connector to the dummy amp for the power and ground. Ran inputs from the two rear speakers.​

That's hilarious Ford gives the enclosure, just not the subwoofer!

You may have better results tapping into the front speakers. The frequency response (bass) on the rear speakers is severely neutered.

I was going to try the forscan trick first

Changed ACM 727-01-01 to add full range to rear speakers
Changed ACM 727-01-02 to remove bass filtering by EQ to rear speakers

Then BANG..it was a little amazing

Huh?....so ford is installing the housing but leaving all the electronics out?

Yes. They install a non-operational amp and sub which appear identical to a working set.

That is hilarious. I had heard they deleted that subwoofer after they said they were adding it for 2023, but I thought delete men they deleted it.. not that they were actually spending the resources to install empty shells.

Mind blown!

Wish I could get my hands on one of those cheap..would love to add it to 2022 model (but working of course)

What gauge wiring is the power and ground from the factory plug? Should be interesting.

Couldn't the money spent on faux components been better spent on finding and additional supplier?

12 gauge coming out of the battery junction box going to the amp, then it is spliced into 2- 18 gauge circuits right before it goes into the amp.
Then it has 2- 18 gauge ground circuits going into the amp also.
