I have a 1985 Mustang 5.0 GT. I am switch the stereo from the old analog unit to a new 200amp head unit and new speakers front and rear. Speakers are installed and wiring matched up. I also need to by pass the in dash amp that was factory. I have been to many stereo shops and to Cruchfield but no one knows of a premade by pass harness I can plug in. I really hate cutting wires and am not sure of what wires need to cross over from input to output side since they are different color patterns.

Somebody out there must have dealt with this before! Please help my car is torn apart and I can't drive it till I fix this issue.

what i did is to just run new wires and not use the stock amp. run new wires that are 12 gauge and it will be better with the bigger wires
