Stock rear AMP bypass. HOW? 96 ws6 I finished up all my 3xl-60Cs in my car (L-4002s in trunk) and the rear seat speakers have no treble at all... lots of bass and the component hardly makes any noise. Why is this? car is a 96 ws6 btw with an alpine headunit
10 speaker system BTW

97-02 had the Monsoon as the premium audio system. 93-96 Camaros had Bose for the premium audio while 93-96 Firebirds had a GM home-grown 10-speaker premium audio system. The system powered sail panel subs with a small amp located in the right sail panel below the right speaker next to the back seat cushion.
I've never seen an amplifier bypass kit for any of those "premium" audio systems but it's not hard to do. The amp uses speaker-level input from the head unit so all you have to do is find the input wires and the wires that go to the speakers and splice them together.
I hate to say so but a little research before you started replacing speakers would have been helpful. There are some good aftermarket subs you can mount in the sail panels that would have worked nicely with the factory amp if you wanted to keep it.
