First time audio install

[delliott]

*update*
Verified that the Pac Audio APH-FD02 Speaker Connection Harness isn't lined up with the OEM factory Gen 3 harness.

highlighted the wires that I care about using, but for easy of verification focusing on the "Green/Black & Green" LEFT REAR SPEAKER as this is wired up on my amp to the harness, but not playing any sound.





The Green/Black & Green is the 10 & 20 pins on the PAC harness (top pin line)



However on the OEM harness side this lines up with these Yellow/Orange & White/Brown wires


Which is my drivers headliner speaker.



The new plan is to go through the PAC Harness and align the 4 door speakers I care about to the OEM side

Made a shortcut key to what you need to do to get the PAC FD02 to work with the OEM harness (in theory)
Re-Pinning the PAC colors wires to match these OEM color wires.

Plan to put this theory to the test once my pin tools arrive

you will also need to go behind the radio

I was only planning on running the doors and tweeters, and for the tweeters I'm running new lines back to the amp (because these stock I know go to the head unit). Do I still need to get behind the radio?

i think you need to disconnect the headliner speakers as well as i remember some funny wiring with the rear speakers. i cant remember for sure though.... use the battery to verify speakers that are in the harness first

Only on the 21-23 F-150 trucks with the Unleashed. The rear door speakers are run off the ACM in the dash. Also, use a DMM to test impedance before you pop any wires with a battery
