This is one example basically you need to use your brain on this one.
To install a new amp with the factory sub
This is not recommended it’s a waste of money so I have no how to
The Factory Amp is 150w Amp with a Sony 8" 8ohm Sub (not for the 2002Mach however)
To remove the factory sub and amp and install a aftermarket sub and amp
the best way is to run new RCA wires to the trunk along with a amp power on and 12v+ form the battery. To get more details see the links at the top of the page (not part of this document)
to use current wires tip for the RCA is to splice up a RCA cord then connect it up to the factory Speaker+-

Install the head unit
The amp power on in the dash is red/white
Pin 4? 2000/2001-black/blue (not red/white) –not 100%verified
Pin 10 2002/2003

Amp Power ON (how to convert an aftermarket head unit to power on the factory amp)
The aftermarket power on wire is standard as Blue 12v
The Focus Factory amp power on is Red/White 4.1volts
If your FACTORY amp turns on with a POP there are two things you can do to fix this.
Lower the voltage with a resistor ‘in-line’ the quick and dirty way would be
