Audio Systems/ford radio question

Question
Basically I am trying to put a YU3F-18C868-AA Ford radio into a 95 Explorer.  The problem I am running into is figuring out will I use a scoshe  fd15b  amp bypass or does the new radio actually put out line level.  I have the wires that connect to the chassis, I believe the new radio takes a metra 71-1771 one connector.  The old radio used two, I am guessing this will work out since I only need basic power and speaker.  Any info you could shed would be helpful.

Thanks.

Colby


Answer
that radio is from a f350 2001  it don't need any amplifiers it comes with its own power 14w per channel

if you have the jbl radio you need to remove the amplifiers and run the speaker wires to the front if you have the simple tape player Plug Metra 70-1770
