2002 Explorer Amp Installation

Hello,
I'm trying to install a power amp to push some subs. But I can't seem to find a place in the fire wall to run power. Can anyone help me! Also, it would be great if some could tell me which of the 8 wires running into my back doors, (4-door), are going to the speakers, thus I'd know which ones to tap into for a signal.
Thank you!
Mike

Try pulling the carpet back by the brake pedal. If yours is a automatic then there will be 2 places where the standard would have came threw. Just use a small hammer and punch to knock it out. Also please install a bushing in the hole before you run your wires in, You will thank yourself for it.

OK I didn't get a chance to look at that. However, I'm still wondering about the speaker wire in the side colums. This would enable me to put my door frames back together and thus end the "ding, ding, ding" because my seat belt isn't "clicked".

When you say you're going to tap into the factory wires for a signal, a signal for what exactly?

Are you going to use those wires to feed to an amp for the subs?

I'd suggest run your own wiring for anything outside of the stock setup.
