2002 Linoln LSE aftermarket amp by mannyville

I am trying to wire in a High to Low line level RCA converter for an aftermarket amp. The instructions say to tie into the speaker wires but the only ones I know of for sure are the ones that the factory amp is powering. I don't think my converter can handle the power. I would like to wire before the amp but am not sure which wires to use. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I was thinking of doing the same to my '05 LS. I still have the amp and sub from my previous car. I'm not sure how it's done, and I might just replace the head unit with aftermarket and do it then.

Lincoln LS '03 Navigation SYSTEM Problems - HELP Needed by acidutu
Sep 26, 2008 (7:55 pm)

Hello All,
I have a Lincoln LS '03 with a THX Audio/Navigation system.
 
I played with the software update features under the Software menu (hidden menu by pressing the Audio and Menu button at the same time) and my Audio/Navigation menu doesn't come up anymore.
 
The last thing I did is go to software upgrade and select upgrade the NAVI 16X software. When it asked me if I had the CD I said yes (even though I don't have one) and now every time the radio system start it says: "Please wait while system is upgrading software".....followed by
"CAUTION: Cannot load System Software. Disk Type Incorrect. Please insert correct System Disk"
 
Now I'm stuck at this screen and I can't go to back to the regular menu that lets me control the audio stations and Navigation system.
 
The buttons for audio work (i can hear stations changing...when using the steering wheel controls) however It does not display on the screen anymore as that Caution message stays ON all the time.
 
Can anyone tell me if there is a way of bypassing this software upgrade and going back to the regular menu?
 
I cannot believe that Lincoln would allow you to select software upgrade which in turn screws up your system probably until you go back to the dealer for them to insert a CD in the system that would allow it to boot correctly again.
 
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I was even thinking of disconnecting the Battery until the radio looses it's memory (i was hoping that would make the radio forget it asked for a System CD)
 
Any tought suggestions please let me know.
 
Thanks
Adrian

While I was reading your post the first thing I thought of was disconnecting the battery then reconnecting it. Couldn't hurt and it doesn't cost anything

I've done that but it didn't help. I kept the battery disconnected for about 20 mins. Everything reset but the radio. (all station were still saved - maybe it saves them in NVRAM).
 
A new development after I did the battery disconnect - the display is all black now. I don't see the message that says CAUTION you need to instert the system disk but nothing else displays either.
 
I will pass by a dealer in a few days to see if they can help.
 
Thanks for your suggestion.

Hi...Just bought a 2002 LS. Need to replace the two tiny speakers on either side of the "center console". They look like 2.5 inch speakers. Can't find any anywere, though. Does anyone have any ideas where I could find a pair of 2.5 inch speakers to fit the 2002 LS?

I think they are 3.5 in. speakers. Not positive though. You might not see much difference with new speakers. From what I've read on other forums, these just help fill out the sound and are not that noticable.

Disconnect them and you'll never know they were there. Not worth replacing.
