Audio Woes

Well, you didn't look very hard then. Here is the amp harness. You will note that it plugs into the standard 10p/6p connectors along with the antenna connectors, loops under the carpet to the amp, then back to the console with the funny 14 or 15pin amp connector to the head unit.

Unplug that harness and you have direct access to the 4 speaker channels through the dash 6p/10p connectors.

Holy crap does that make it easy. I reached back in there and found what you were talking about. The previous owner, for whatever reason, took 3 of the wires (brown, gray, blue w/yellow stripe) and ran them directly to the amp with his own wire for whatever reason, but I can wire them back into the stock plug easy enough. That buddy of mine that was going to bypass my amp for me is going to pick up the conversion harness for Toyota w/o a stock amp and we'll see what happens!

This whole "How to bypass the stock amp" business should be in some kind of a sticky'd informative audio thread. It's an easy fix and I'm sure it would help many people.
