You can do this one of two ways. The hard way (but sounds better) run brand new 16AWG wires into each door and run them to the amp.

or

Run a 9 con wire up behind the headunit and hook into the factory wires.

Either way will work and depending on the power and speakers your using you may not see a difference when running your own wires in each door. For instance... I have new wires ran in my super duty but i don't in my wifes expedition. She said it sounded great so i didn't mess with it.

Run new wire! I had an alpine mr300 in my expy, I put the amp under the center console. I ran brand new 16 gauge wire to the speakers it sounded amazing!

On a side note, I never took pics but I had a king ranch steering wheel in my expy! It was one of my favorite mods, y'all with the 03-06 expy should look into that mod.

In the navigator, the only stuff I have inside is the oem nav and the oem dvd player, also have the oem thx certified speakers.
