when changing to an aftermarket radio what is the procedure on disconnecting the oem amp to the after market radio...Can i take the amp out hook up the new radio by using a harness kit to the speakers from the new radio to the old radio harness, will the speakers work or do i need to splice the speaker wires together that were by the amp?
Oh boy. I had such a nightmare of a time when I did mine... I don't completely remember. Read this: http://forums.stangnet.com/677585-please-help-radio.html and see if that gets you anywhere. If you have more questions after reading that, post 'em.
Thanks for the link but its older so no pictures show up on the stock amp..I want to take the amp out totally from under the saet and but in powered Blaupunkt 8 in sub...Im lost tho...lol if i disconect the amp how do i get the speaker to work..by wiring them into the radio with a wiring kit?...and using the new radios amp to power the speakers? if so if you disconect the factory amp im sure the speakers wont work right? see im lost....lol

when i did mine i found the easiest way to do it was to leave the amp how it is..or take it out if you want. then i rewired every speaker straight to the new head unit. works good
I understand disconnecting it but if you do dont some speakers stop working? Wouldnt you have to connect those wires back up if it goes into the amp then out of the amp back to the radio if you just take the connected wires and hook them up then the speakers should work..Mine is under my seat..I want to put a Blaupunkt 8 inch self contained.sub under the passenger seat so i need to take the amp out for room purposes...plus im putting in a new head unit too....

Remove the amp and rewire the speakers and head unit.This way you have upgraded speaker wire...etc.

In my 92 LX ,the amp is directly behind the factory radio.I slid in a Pioneer unit I had lying around.Didn't bother with the rewire.There's a popping noise whenever it gets turned on and also when the key is switched on.The amp seems to always be on regardless of the radio power.
You sure that's an amp under the seat?
