Hey guys... I have been desperatly seeking out the best / easiest way to bypass the factory amp and I cant find information on it anywhere... I have never did such a thing and I dont plan on every getting a "upgraded" factory system again.. LOL But here is my idea and if someone could please tell me if it would work?!?!

If i just cut the wires for the speakers only before the connectors and crimped the in to the matching out will it bypass the amp and just be running off the head unit...

I have the diagram for what wires are which here...

Will they play? Sure. Of course you have now eliminated any crossovers or eq filtering that Infinity built in.

The best way to bypass it amp is the interface with it. The speaker leads behind the head unit, solder rca ends on them instead of connecting the head unit's speaker leads. This way it will not be distorted or have that horrible hiss between songs....use the pre-outs instead of speaker leads...cheers [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]
