Is there a way to add the OEM factory sub to a non mach radio? I have a 2002 Ford Escape and would like to add the factory sub. I know it's not the best but it should fit the need/void. I'm not looking for head pounding/throbbing bass just a little more low-end than what is there.
Question are:
1. Is there a way to hook up the factory sub to the non-mach radio (p/n 1c3f-18c815-ab)?
2. Is there a different radio (mach version) which has the same wiring harness as mine but with the sub out?

ps. Currently buying aftermarket is out of the question.

a thing is sour, it is that one you needs the amplifier of origin to make this modification for the remainder I can send the 3 to you graph which I have so that you voice the difference between what you have and what you wants to make.

Can you give more information please, now i am assuming by non-mach you are refering to an aftermarket radio, how is the radio installed with a harness that plugs into the factory wires or an amplifier was used to drive door speakers. I am assuming that your car at one time had a factory amplifier am i correct?
