Does anyone know what size the in line resistors for the ACC and Illumination wires are? Would they work for my factory sub?

I was told to install a resistor on my 2007 Escape in order to prevent the factory sub from thumping, does anyone know what size resistor I require? I had heard 2.4k ohm but not sure what wattage Also looking for easy places to access the vss and reverse wires... colors would be helpful too My vehicle does have the Reverse Sensing system and the Mach Audio system

Do I put the resistor into the amp turnon lead?

Where to I need to install a resistor to prevent the sub from thumping when I turn the vehicle on?

whtcrxghst thanks agian your input has been very valuable to me, do you have the illumination and remote antenna hooked up?

Thanks for your reply whtcrxghst, I will check both those spots on my Escape... where did you hide the brain? I also heard that I might be able to get the reverse wire in the junction box at the passenger side of the console, does anyone know if this is true? Looking for confirmation that the VSS is Black/Grey and the Reverse is Black/Pink? Does anyone have the illumination (orange) and remote antenna (blue) hooked up?

What happens if you don't hook up the illumination wire?

No one out there knows about the blue and orange wires or how to mount the brain behind the dash? Has anyone instaleld one of these units in a Ford and if so where was the easiest place to get the reverse and VSS? I really would prefer to not run wired to the back of my vehicle or screw with anythign in the engine compartment. Thanks again for any help

I've decided to order a replacement power harness instead of screwing around with it... I got such a smoking deal on the unit anyway that another few bucks won't break the bank... long story short the ground problems will be fixed. I also realized I'm an idiot and that the fused line is actually the yellow power line and that the two grounds are connected just one of them runs through a box with the yellow power wire. Still wondering about the other questions if anyone can help in next few days since I have to wait for the new harness anyway I would appreciate it.

What would happen if I put both ground wires together and didn't use the fuse? I've discovered that the VSS in an Escape is located in the engine compartment behind the battery and all that I need to do is run teh wire through the firewall and put the clamp onto it, still wondering if it is necessary to hook up the VSS, I understand it is supposed to make the GPS more accurate can anyone speak from experience as to wheter or not it really makes a difference? Same for the reverse wire I know it is accessible at the rear of my vehicle but is it necessary and will it improve perfomance of

I figured out that the 10A fuse is an inline noise filter but I still have no idea where it goes to

Hi everyone I'm a noob and need some help getting my unit installed, any advice will be appreciated and remembered: I have a 2007 Ford Escape with a MACH audio system and purchased a floor model N3 as well as a Crutchfield harness that comes with the additional harness for my factory subwoofer I've heard that it is not necessary to connect the VSS and Reverse wires, is this true? If I want to connect VSS and Reverse does anyone know where I would find them in my Escape? As stated I bought a floor model and upon reviewing the contents of the package discovered that there are tw
