Default New headunit, factory sub?

Ey guys I got a 2005 f150 fx4 with the stock sub in back. I changed out my headunit for a new one and have no bass out of the sub now? Why is this? There is no plugs coming from the truck to go into the wire harness or the headunit for the sub.

There is a second connector from the back of your factory radio that you need to cut off then splice/solder the d subs to connect to the aftermarket radio connectors. I think it only has like 5 or 6 wires, but don't quote me on that.

Ok you will want to use the smaller of the connectors that is left. I don't have the details but you can find it by google. Also the factory amp turn on is a lower voltage than what aftermarket radios put out so you will want to put a resistor in line on that wire. There is a ton of stuff on the net for putting in aftermarket radios into our trucks, just be glad you don't have the factory DVD because that is a PITA to keep working.

The factory sub is under the back seat on the driver's side.

If you have the audiophile sound system in it, it would be under the drive side back seat.

I can't really find anything online about it because it has to be pulling a new radio with my factory sub and I can't really find anything. This might be because I have to do it off my phone because my comp is broken
