I have a 95 Taurus SHO that came with a factory JBL system. Recently the Sub has stopped working. When I turn the bass all the way up on the stereo, the Sub is silent, and unplugging the amp makes no difference in sound. Is it possible to just replace the factory JBL amp with another? Or does the whole stereo need to be changed? If I can replace it, any suggestions on where to pick one up. I am being told that the factory amp has too high of a current and I would burn any aftermarket amps out.

Your high current theory doesn't hold water. You could put a new amplifier in there with a decent LOC, but c'mon...it's a 95. Just yank everything out and start from scratch. You'll be much happier with a complete 2007 system, than you will be with a hybrid 1995/2007 system. Good luck!

How do you know the sub isn't blown?

I direct wired the sub. It does still work, but no power coming out of amp. Only going in.

I see. Well get a quote for the amp from ford and weigh out what you want to spend and what you really need ( referring to the post from audiomaninc).

His point is well taken, factory stuff sucks, but if you aren't willing to go the whole way, replacing the facotry amp may be most economical and easiest route. You may be able to locate an amp from a wrecking yard at a much more reasonable price, too.

Also, is it the same amplifier from other Ford products? If it is, look into JBL Explorers, Lincolns, and Mountaineers of that era....if you're going the junkyard route.
