2010 v6 Raido
Ok so I have a 2010 v6 mustang with a stock radio. I am trying to install 2 12" subs in to it so far i am not getting any wear. I am wiring the amp in to the 2 rear speakers and i think at this point my problems is i do not have the ploriatey with from the stock speakers to the amp input right not sure what ford use for + or - wire color if you know plz let me know or if you know of a better way to set it up input would be very much appreciated
i am using a BOSS AUDIO R1100M
i can upload pix of what i have so far if that will help at all
Thank you for any help you can give me.

The polarity looks to be the least of the concerns.
$5 for an over one kilowatt mono block amplifier.. riiiiiiiiiight. I'm seriously doubting (should it work in the first place)that it does the 250watts stated for RMS.
no line level inputs that I see.
0 documentation for it on newegg. The user manual from their site(page 5) is pretty craptastic as well.
If this uses RCA input(s), then a LOC(line output converter) will be needed. There is nothing fancy to this, assuming the wiring schematic holds from the 05-09's to your 2010 model:

Left(driver's side) rear speaker:
Positive = Grey with light blue stripe
Negative = Tan with a yellow stripe
Right(passenger's side) rear speaker:
Positive = Orange with red stripe
Negative = Brown with pink stripe
If the above is incorrect, then just view the 2011 schematic, one of the 2 is valid for the speaker wiring. Pretty sure the above is still valid though.
Step 1: Put this "amplifier" in the garbage
Step 2: Buy something decent that's still relatively cheap price-tag wise, say from sonicelectronix.com instead, or similar. Newegg is great for PC parts, but that's it.
To add a mono amp, you may need to wire in series unless the amp can handle 1ohm impedance. I'm unsure what your setup, stock or not is pulling that down to. Should it be a shaker system, likely it will be below the 2ohm impedance needed for any decent sound, or to stop from overheating/killing any amp not rated to go this low; same for the sub itself.
