I did before, to power a sub correct?

sounds more like he wants to bypass the stock amp(noob25w/perchan) to a more powerful amp, while retaining stock speakers...

which makes no sense because you could just get a new cdplayer o.o

umm yeah he may just be asking for subs

im sooo tired

You can buy a junk factory radio and cut the face off of it. Then buy a new head unit and mount it with a slight recess in the dash. When you turn off our car you can then put the factory stereo face over the opening, making it look as though you don't have an aftermarket stereo at all. You can also alter your dash a bit, and insert the factory face with a motorized control which flips down automatically when you turn the power off to the new head unit. It is very easy to do! In terms of bypassing the factory amp, you need a high-pass to low-pass converter. I would suggest you add a line driver to the signal path between the converter and the amp to ensure full signal strength to the new amp. Audiocontrol makes a fantastic line driver, and EQ's with line drivers built in. Here is their website: WWW.AUDIOCONTROL.COM

hope this helps,

I was at it again today i was trying to re-install the factory radio but i could not find one of the harnesses that plugs into the back of the h/u. I dont remember if i removed it but I could have sworn I tucked it behind the dash.
