You have to use it if you still have the factory radio and speakers. With an aftermarket radio and speakers, you can wire in a bypass module available at Best Buy or most places that sell car audio. Or, insted of buying the module, you can also run new speaker wire from the radio to the speakers.

How do you bypass the factory amp what are the color codes?
It's best to install new speakers and your own amplifier. The stock system in these cars might say JBL but it's junk and you will see this when you remove one of the speakers. If you want to use existing speakers and amp no need to bypass amp. All that is needed is 12 volt switched power source to the amp through the harness(blue wire). Just completed on my 91 mercury grand marquis.
How do you bypass the amp in a 2002 Jeep Liberty?
Well, you do not necessarily have to bypass the amp. If you are using aftermarket speakers, you will have to bypass it, because the speaker will be receiving power from the head-unit AND the factory amp (speakers cannot have 2 power sources). This can be done with a bypass harness from www.crutchfield.com or you can just run your own speaker wires from your head-unit to your speakers. But, you will need aftermarket speakers, because the stock speakers are not designed to just be powered by your aftermarket head-unit, they're designed to be powered by the factory amp. However, if you are using the stock speakers, and just wish to use an aftermarket head-unit (what I did on my 06 liberty w/ "premium infinity sound"), all you have to do is power the factory amp (for each speaker). With a factory amp, your factory head unit sends power to the factory amp, when the car is turned on. Your aftermarket head-unit/harness, is not designed to power a factory amp. For this reason, your factory amp has no power, so you get no sound from your factory speakers. The Fix: Create a power source for your factory amp. People commonly use the "power antenna" wire (used to make an antenna go up/down when the car is started/stopped). This is simply a wire that has voltage when the car is on, and is dead when the car is off. The power antenna wire is located in the back of most aftermarket head-units. Just wire the power antenna wire (the one from the back of your aftermarket head-unit) to the factory amp power wire (this wire was originally attached to the back of the factory head-unit), and it should get power. You should now hear sound from your speakers. Each vehicle has different colored wires, so make sure you look at a 2002 Jeep Liberty wiring diagram for the color of your jeep's factory amp power wire. This can be found online. I know that was a bit lengthy to read, but I wanted to be sure that you would understand! Hope that helps! -alex

Bypass factory amp 96 Cadillac deville?
Find the amp located behind the back seat. Disconnect the power. Run all new speaker wires from your speakers to the back of the new radio, if that's what you're installing. If you don't do this, you're battery will drain because the car will think the factory radio is still on. and only your tweeters will work

How Do you Install An Aftermarket stereo in an 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis How do you bypass the fatcory installed amp?
I have a Grand Marquis GS,it had no Amp installed.I bought a new JVC stereo that was on display for next to nothing,allthough it took some time,and i had to but a new harness to fit the stereo.But if you don`t have the time or know how i would but a stereo and if you have a Best Buy near you have them install it for you for around $50.00 plus the harness at $20.00.Good Luck. I just went through the same thing the factory amp input signal operates at a lower level than normal radios so if you bypass the amp you could destroy the factory speakers, so you have a decison to replace all the speakers with the special wiring harness, or buy the PAC-2 from cruchfield.com. in which lowers the the signal of the aftermarket radio to work with the factory amp & speakers. Please note it is still going sound the same because you will be still using the factory set up. I just did it to my 1987 mercury grand marquis and it works fine.
