Stock AMP bypass? 96ws6
I posted this in the electronics section but no one really reads that... was wondering if anyone here knows about it. There is a stock amp in the RH sail panel (rear seats) and it is screwing up my 3XL-60C speakers. That amp apparently puts a lot of bass to the speakers, but I wired in my own crossovers to eliminate bass, so now hardly anything is coming out of the speakers. (woofer + tweeter each side). I need to know if i can bypass this amp somehow or am I going to have to rewire them? Thanks! I also found amp bypass wires but they are for 1997-2002 cars...

Or pull off the panel on the Pass Side back seat and:
Less destructive method- Make jumper wires from the Radio wires to the Speaker wires, which would bypass the amp.
More destructive method- cut the wires and take those from the Radio and splice them with those that run to the speakers.

yeah I am going to do the less destructive method. haha. but isn't there only 4 wires out of the headunit? front and rear speakers? So I would be splicing into the rear speaker wire?
Sorry im a NOOB when it comes to speakers hahah

I'd personally have a local shop do my stereo in my Trans Am, but thats just me.
My Eclipse was easy as hell to wire up but my Trans Am I think will be a bit more difficult.
Going to try Diamond HEX S500S 5-1/4" components up front and Diamond HEXS600 6-1/2" components in back powered by a Kicker ZX650.4 4-channel amp. Can't wait to get it in. Yes, I'm sorry, I'm still an audio guy

Take rear channel from deck AT the AMP, run a wire off each (1 +, 1 - per side), unpin the wires for the speakers at the AMP and connect them to those new wires. What you're doing then is allowing the AMP to still process the sound for the other 8 speakers, but are now letting the deck power those 2 rear speakers exclusively.
Hows that sound? Best of both worlds I think, since you don't have to go through the hassle of figuring it all out.
I'd be happy to draw you a pic if that'll help explain it a bit more. Otherwise if you still want to go through with totally bypassing the AMP, email me (addy is in my profile) and I'll try and find time tomorrow to get the AMP wiring schematic tomorrow from ALLDATA.
Usually I'd say go for the newer plug, but I think they are different from when I was looking up the schematics for my newer AMP swap in my 93 (wwway different than mine, had to buy a new plug for the AMP). I thought 96-97 were the same but 98+ were different from them. Don't think I checked 94-95 though :\

haha my dad has a repair manual for the 93 f bodies. So i guess that book is of no use to me
I dont feel the need to bypass the AMP unless i am going to amp them myself
Thanks for the info man. Ive got the car on jack stands im going to have the wheels repainted and straightened Ill let ya know when i finish the speakers

Sounds technically like yours is as mine, 12 speaker now. I put some 2-ways in place of the rear mids
