Stereo Advice
I just bought an '00 Expedition and want to upgrade the stereo. It's just the AM/FM cassette and of course I want to add a cd player. Should I go with the factory add on changer for the console? Although, I like the idea of an in-dash changer but what stereo will work for this application? I saw a ford 6 disc in-dash on ebay out of an '03 explorer I think but does anyone know if that stereo will work in my Expedition? Thanks in advance.

Hey bro. I have the stock AM/FM cassette w/ CD changer in my 00 Expedition. I replaced the door speakers with Kenwood Excellon and put two Boswick Competition 12's in the back with a 120 watt US Amp bridged to 2 oms. The stock head unit sounds wonderful. Also, prior to replacing the door speakers, the stock speakers sounded great...

hey jswanberg10 -
How did you connect your amp to the stock stereo? Are you using the speaker output to feed your sub amp, or did you somhow tap into the line-level output from the head unit?
Also, I want to tap into the line-IN (to connnect a mp3 player) - I found a RCA adapter to plug into the cd changer, but it's like $80 -any cheaper solutions?
