Hello guys , I just bought a 1999 LTC executive edition , I recently removed the am/FM/ cassette player to install a new head unit . The factory radio had the 4 pin connector for amp/subwoofer and it has the fuses for amp under the hood , however I can't find an amp and there is a round piece of black foam where the sub should be . Does anyone know about the factory radio options , I know the exe. series is a base model so kinda confused as to why it had the 4 pin connector hooked to old radio and fuses , any help would be greatly appreciated ,thank you
Subwoofer , amplifier ?

I think I can help on this one!

That little silver box behind and to the right of the spare tire, is the factory Subwoofer amplifier. It's junk. The sub distorts at even a medium volume. I strongly suspect that it is subject to the same bad capacitors that the entire computer industry was subjected to in the late 90s.
The factory sub, is an ~8" unit, housed in that black plastic enclosure above the spare tire. It fires upwards into the center of the rear package tray.
I always meant to ohm out the connector for the factory amplifier. It only has a few pins, and I believe it to be pretty "standard" in nature. If your car has the wiring back there, you could probably probe the connector and find +12v, Ground, remote, and signal wires, that could connected easily to an aftermarket amplifier and sub.
My Town Car also has the "Alpine" branded stereo in the dash, but I don't know how many options Ford had that year. Maybe they all looked like that.
