      haha all good, no doubt I'm over the fact I'm missing teeth and have been having a bit of a fun time with people dancing around the subject in real life :P
      Long story short I lost my teeth from a bone deficiency that made them all just break easy, been just over a year since I got them all taken out to get the pain over with, I could have gotten dentures sooner however the healing after that was long, the other night I had a chunk of a broken tooth come out of my face actually and it hurt like hell lmfao FML right

      ​@@GarretClaridgeMeerkat I hear that being near vibrations all the time can cause bones to get brittle, things like a talk box can cause teeth brittleness, but I'm not sure that has anything to do with speakers and stuff.

    I own a 2002 Explorer, and it had a very similar sound system. It’s still rocking the stock sub, but I have a really nice one going in it at some point. The stock sound system really was quite impressive, especially compared to the garbage that’s put in cars now.
    EDIT: After working on my Explorer a bit more, I found that the 2002 generation is when they started to become crappy. It had the two similar speakers in the front, and the rear had the usual cheap 6x9 Ford speakers. The sub is an 8 inch dual voice coil, and has its own amplifier. The door speakers used whatever was built into the head unit. So the older system in this video was way better, as it had two separate amps for the sun and door speakers, as well as the fancier speakers in all 4 doors.

    Nice that it wasn't CAN bus activated. All of the junk now has to communicate with several modules in the car in order to get its "POWER ON" signal. You can buy adapters and whatnot but why with this crap stock junk. My 2000 golf TDI has a banging sound system. It has a dedicated amp in the back and it powers 4 6" kevlar woofers and tweeters in the doors. It has 8 channels and the tweeters are actively driven. I have no information on it and it works with aftermarket head units because it uses input bias turn on. All I know is it will rattle the wore out cheap plastic in my interior until it is annoying to listen to. Plenty loud and you'd think you have 10's in the back but its just stock 6" door woofers.
