HELP =BYPASSING FACTORY AMP
I did this once in an explorer and I suggest that you run new speaker wires directly from the new head unit to your speakers instead of trying to use existing wires. The factory wires and connecters are junk anyways. Just cut the wires to the factory amp and/or take it out because it is useless to begin with.

I would agree ,I prefer to run some heavier gauge wire any way.I would not worry about finding the stock amp but just make sure you don't have any hot wires floating around in your dash. What I would suggest is just cut the wires you will use on the factory harness (ground , constant power and ignition) and leave the factory plug in there .Just maybe throw some tape or heat shrink around it for added protection.

Hey
They make a bypass connector. You just unplug the factory amp and put the connector in place of it. The people who make the factory wiring harness radio connectors that you can get at wal-mart radio shack best buy and circuit city make it.

Thanks for the reply...however, that project has been completed for some time now.
I finally found the amp, and have installed a new head unit, front and read speakers, and am utilizing the bypass cable.

GOT IT!!!!
It is up hidden behing the alarm (i think) way up behind the brake and gas pedals, there are two harnesses coming out on the bottom and it is speakers in and speakers out, I had to splice the one set of speaker cables because I got the wrong bypass harness, but with a little patience in the cold and dark with a flashlight in my mouth I managed to get it hooked up
I know yours is done but this is here just in case someone else needs to look it up
