Smile 95 Explorer JBL Amp removal

I would appreciate any tips on removing the OEM amp. Also does it have to be replaced with the same amp?

Thanks,

Well, to answer one question....no, it doesn't have to be replaced with the same amp. Connections, however, are more difficult, in that I'm not aware of any non-OEM manufacturer who has a direct replacement.

If you are replacing it because it's bad, then I suggest looking at Ebay. I just saw a replacement JBL amp listed.

If you are replacing it with a new/more powerful amp, I suggest you save yourself the frustration and buy it from a car audio place. They will often replace yours for a reasonable fee. There is a lot of competition in that business, and you should be able to get them to cut you a price break, if you buy from them.

My experience is that while I can do the work, myself. It's often more valuable to me to pay the fee, than to take time away from my day.....and particularly if I'm working overtime.

I don't think Chilton or Haynes manuals cover too much. If it's your sub-woofer amp, I believe it's back behind the passenger side panel in the rear compartment. That means removing those panels to gain access.

Don't know if that helps.
