Message: <blockquote data-quote="bigrig" data-source="post: 2108152" data-attributes="member: 11383">Power:I used 8 gauge wire for the power and ground. I ran the power from the positive battery terminal, into the cab through the old FM antenna hole I was no longer using, through the door sills where the rest of the wiring harness is routed, to a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096Z1WNLW/?tag=fordraptorforum-20" target="_blank">fuse block</a> in the rear of the cab (fuse block is not necessary, I just have other lights I want to install in the rear bumper soon so I wanted a convenient place to wire those from). I connected the ground to a common ground in the back of the cab and routed that to the fuse block too. From there I ran the power and ground to the sub. Audio:I cut the plug off the OEM sub wires and connected them with 16 gauge wires to the high level input wires on the sub. It took me some trial and error when doing this because the wiring diagrams I found online didn't seem to work. I assume the sub wiring on all Gen1s are the same but I should note that my truck is a 2013. This is what I ended up going with:<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>Balance</td><td>Polarity</td><td>Stock Wire Color</td><td>Subwoofer Wire Color</td></tr><tr><td>L</td><td>+</td><td>Purple with Green stripe</td><td>Gray</td></tr><tr><td>L</td><td>-</td><td>Green with White stripe</td><td>Gray with Black stripe</td></tr><tr><td>R</td><td>+</td><td>Green with Purple stripe</td><td>White</td></tr><tr><td>R</td><td>-</td><td>Gray</td><td>White with Black stripe</td></tr></table>Here are some more pics below to provide some context. They would likely give a professional audio installer the vapors... you've been warned <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />[ATTACH=full]487568[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]487569[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]487570[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]487571[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]487572[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
