premium no sound
I recently purchased a 89 bronco 2 with premium sound. My problem is only very little volume turned all the way up. I believe that the amp may be bad and would like to replace radio with aftermarket. I got a harness to hook it up but need to find the amp to bypass it. Anyone know its whereabouts. I've been told passenger rear compartment and under the dash still can't find it. Any help would be appreciated

Hi, right now im currently revamping my entire sound system with a new one.I have an 89 bronco 2 and the old amp is going to be behind the left back rear well behind the paneling. Now thats the old amplifier. When you put a new amp in more than likely it is going to require you to wire a direct powerline to the battery. As another note, the speaker wireing for the speakers in the bronco 2 are horrible!!!! You may end up having to re-wire the car because that is what i have ended up doing. Glad I could help =D
Good Luck!

Got sound now.
Thanks to all who replied to this question. I located the amp right behind the spare tire on the drivers rear interior panel. For those who are wondering the same about the " premium sound" package upgrades. I purchased a installation kit for a premium sound system from METRA. This was sourced from my local autozone. It is also avalible from circuit city online. It features all the wiring harness adapters for the radio as well as a factory amp bypass that plugs right inplace of the amp without cutting anything!!!!. I put a pioneer 3300 deck in it and even the stock seakers sound good. Not thumping but, good. I fully recommend this for anyone who wishes to ditch the facory crap without having to run new wires. You can even splice a amp into the bypass harness and use the factory power supply, ground, and amp relay wires. Pretty cool.

just to elaborate further, you have to take the left side giant piece of plastic partway off (not all the way, just enough to get to the thing to plug in the bypass. There are 4 screws running up and down at the rear of the car, you also have to take the little felt piece off as there are screws under that.
if you want stereo stuff, go to www.crutchfield.com they cannot be beat, they will send you all the stuff you need to install the stereo along with instructions AND diagrams, that is where I ordered my stereo from and it had a diagram of exactly where the amp was.
