Cool Audiophile Question

I know this topic has been covered many times, but I have been unable to find a picture or answer to this question.

I have a 2004 F150 FX4 which came with the standard 6 disc radio. I have purchased both an audiophile head unit and subwoofer to upgrade my standard radio. I was able to locate the wire harness under the rear seat which goes to the subwoofer, however I cannot find the 'head unit' end of the wiring harness. It was my understanding from everything I've read that some people have had the 'head unit' end in place, but the wire was not completed to the rear of the truck, however this seems to be the opposite. Can anyone who's done this try to give me a detailed explanation of where I can find the 'head unit' end of the wire or even some photos might help!

I appreciate any help anyone can offer!!

Thank you,
Nick

I'm in the same shape as you. I found the end under the seat but I can't find it in the dash.I looked all over in there and don't see anything. The plug under the seat has power with a test light but no sound when I plug in to the sub.

I just found mine. I followed the radio wires back and then I saw a grey plug taped on the wires. it was on the left side of the opening wire goes down by a metal brace. It was hard to see because it was behind the brace. Hope you find yours.
