I have a 1996 Ford Explorer XLT V8 and I want to install an after market stereo and the vehicle has a JBL stereo system with no antenna wire on the factory radio. Does anyone have a wire diagram on how to wire after market radio in and include amp and sub?

I want to add a keyless entry to my 1996 Ford Explorer XLT 2WD 4.0L and also a remote start. It does not have any type of remote for the vehicle right now I.E. alarm system. Is it possible to do a remote...

This is possible with almost any vehicle, especially ones with power locks. I installed keyless entry on someone car before on my own. Took about 3 hours or just take it to a local shop. Its a pretty easy install for anyone who is mechanically inclined.

Installing an aftermarket stereo in 1996 explorer...sound issues.

You may have a factory amplifier in the rear of the explorer in the right cargo panel. You need to supply power to it by connecting the amp power on (Blue/White I think) in the dash to a power source (such as red on your stereo harness) so it comes on with the key. If you do have the amplifier, that's why you have no sound.
