Yes they can be.
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
I used aftermarket wires and did have some trouble with them. I ended up going back to Saturn for new wires. Plugs you can get anywhere. Don't try and upgrade them though, have them give you exactly what came in your vehicle from factory.
Center console speakers are prob 2.75"...so nowhere near your aftermarket 3.5". But with a little custom work it will fit nicely.

As I say, always go for factory parts because they can be more reliable, but if you can't afford them or they aren't available then getting aftermarket parts are a good idea. But they are also a good idea for a short time because they are used.
if you are talking about an aftermarket radio's amp turn on wire then without an amp you can just cap it off. if the harness used to connect to new radio to your factory wires has a blue antenna/factory amp then you can connect it to that provided the new radio doesnt have a second blue wire for that purpose.
the technology is used in microphones but in reverse. instead of the wires creating the sound and the cone amplifying it, the cone gets your sound and the wires turn it into electrical energy.
it could be as easy as swapping the wires on your speaker to reverse the polarity also there should be proper speaker wire used for wiring speakers but if they are factory fitted this should not be a problem also check your speakers for any sign of damage what you could do as a test is to swap the wiring for the front speakers with the wiring for the rear speakers if the problem moves to the back speakers then its a wiring problem but if the problem is still on the front then its probably the speaker is at fault the beat way to do that test would be to actually move the speakers temporarily rather than moving the wiring
I have a 1990 Mark Seven and pulled amps and decks out of a few other mark 7s and ended putting in an aftermarket stereo as well as an amp. For the most part we used factory wire harneses with no problems. 400 amps and lots of neighbors... its not worth messing around with, use the factory power wires, antenna, etc, but run new speaker wires forget the stock amp put it in the circular file
RCA wires in a car radio are audio cables that transmit audio signals from the head unit (the car radio) to external amplifiers or speakers. They typically consist of two connectors: one for the left audio channel (usually white) and one for the right audio channel (usually red). RCA connections help ensure a high-quality audio signal and are commonly used in aftermarket audio systems to enhance sound performance. These wires can also be used for connecting other audio sources like subwoofers or auxiliary devices.
The stock radio in a Dodge Neon (excluding infinity gold systems) will put out 12-17 Watts RMS. If you pay close attention to aftermarket decks, there is not much difference. Power ratings on head units are very limited, and if you want more power to your speakers, a four channel ampliier is the way to go (I run a Rockford 400.4 to my door and rear speakers, and my head unit [Alpine 9885] is only used to power the two little guys in the dash on my 2004 Neon SXT). It is a bit more expensive, but makes all the difference for anyone concerned about not getting enough power to their speakers. * note: the above amplifier, or any other aftermarket amplier, should NEVER be used in conjunction with factory speakers. They simply will not handle the power.
You will either need factory Infinity replacements since the speakers have their own attached amps. Or....replace the entire system with an aftermarket setup. You can go to Crutchfield.com to find out what size speakers will fit your car. Another option (this is what I myself did) for the fronts I used 6 1/2s and zip-tied the amps to them. This works for me but it is more trouble than its worth and doesn't sound very good. Note: not all 6 1/2 will work (in fact I believe most wont.)
all depends on what the vehicle is. Prices vary also if you want a new or used part. OEM Factory part or aftermarket or (knock off's)
