Functional sub with aftermarket radio ?

[Dieslow]

Hello there folks ! I just bought a Town Car 1997 with 140 000km and it runs really nice. It is my first Lincoln and I must say that it runs way better than my 3 other Cadillac I got. There's a little rust here and there but the mechanic is in pretty good shape and I plan to run it for a while. This weekend I had some free time so I decided to change the radio because I don't have the CD changer that comes with it and I already had a Kenwood KCD-MP245 that isn't use. So I bought the big harness kit to bypass the amp and got everything connected. Now that it is done, everything works fine except the sub ... Is there a way to make it works ? For now, I plugged it on the same speaker wire that my rear left speaker but it is not amplified so the bass isn't as good as it should be. Any ideas ?



By the way sorry for my English guys !!



Thanks for any of your help.

Your probably going to have to use the blue remote wire from your wire harness to power on the amp

Makes sense ... i hook up this wire with which other ??

which ever wire goes to the amp. Not sure. You could look up the wire diagram.

Are we talking factory subwoofer or aftermarket? If you bought the harness to bypass the factory amp then no duh it wont turn on...
