bypassing it in order to install a new aftermarket radio is simple. you have to run your radio's speaker wire to the amp (located under the driver's seat). then hook them up to the wires at the amp, to the corresponding wires:
Left Front Speaker Wire (+): Tan
Left Front Speaker Wire (-): Gray
Right Front Speaker Wire (+): Light Green
Right Front Speaker Wire (-): Dark Green
Left Rear Speaker Wire (+): Brown
Left Rear Speaker Wire (-): Yellow
Right Rear Speaker Wire (+): Dark Blue
Right Rear Speaker Wire (-): Light Blue
I'm not sure how to bypass the amplifier, but it is located behind the glove box. There are two harnesses that connect it to the radio. The bottom harness is removed by squeezing the ears and pulling off. The upper harness' release is on the rear facing side and is more difficult to operate. I used a small box-end wrench to take off the mounting bracket, then you can pull the amplifier out and turn it to see the clip.

To bypass the factory amplifier in a Lexus ES 300, first, locate the amplifier, usually found in the trunk or behind the rear seat. Disconnect the wiring harness from the factory amp, and then connect the speaker wires directly to the head unit or an aftermarket amplifier, ensuring proper polarity. Additionally, you may need to use a line output converter if you're connecting to an aftermarket head unit without speaker outputs. Always refer to a wiring diagram for your specific model year to ensure accuracy.
With premium sound system you have to bypass the factory amplifier and pretty much splice into the factory wires after the amplifier. A good place for questions is the www.clublexus.com forums or the www.lexusownersclub.com forums. Search the forums and your question has already been addressed. Myself i have a 1999 gs400.
Yes, you can bypass the factory amplifier in a Jeep Cherokee by using a bypass harness or by directly connecting the head unit's output wires to the speakers. This involves disconnecting the factory amp and routing the audio signals from the new head unit directly to the speakers. However, it's important to ensure the wiring is done correctly to avoid damaging the audio system. Always consult the vehicle's wiring diagram or seek professional installation if unsure.
To bypass the factory amplifier on a 1988 Lincoln Town Car, you'll need to locate the amp, which is typically found in the trunk. Disconnect the wiring harness from the factory amp and connect the speaker wires directly to the head unit's output. Ensure you properly match the wires to avoid any damage, and consider using a wiring diagram for accuracy. Finally, secure all connections and test the sound output to confirm the bypass was successful.
Are you trying to add amplifiers? If so the best way is to use LOC (line out converters) and your RCAs will run from them to your amp.
The amplifier for the sound system is in the trunk on the right hand side of the car attached the the vertical panel on the trunk side of the rear seat. On most sound system options, this amplifier has a pre-amp required for the factory radio. If you are installing an aftermarket radio, you will need a bypass plug to eliminate the on board amplifier yet utilize the existing wiring and speakers.
yes
bypass the factory amp
They make bypass plugs you can get at best buy or anywhere that sells car audio.
To bypass the factory amp in a 1996 Cadillac Seville STS, you'll need to locate the amplifier, typically found in the trunk. Disconnect the amp's wiring harness and identify the speaker wires that lead to the speakers. You can then connect your new head unit or aftermarket amplifier directly to these speaker wires, ensuring to match the correct polarity for optimal sound. Make sure to properly secure and insulate any exposed wires to prevent short circuits.
