Hi everyone, i just recently purchased a 97 explorer xlt. I plan on keeping it fairly stock since its only my winter car but i wanted to at least upgrade my stereo and throw my old subs and amp in the truck. I purchased a new pioneer HU but before installing anything i came on here to just to browse around. Glad i did that because i learned about the factory amp. I did lots of research on the amp and bypassing the amp when installing a new HU. I found this harness from crutchfield http://www.crutchfield.com/p_120705...er-Wire-Harness.html?search=120705008&tp=2977 which they told me is used to bypass the factory amp. They said you have to run wires from the deck to the rear quarter panel where the factory amp is located. This sounds wild to me....can someone who has used this harness draw me a quick diagram or better explain how this harness is used? I know the rectangular grey plug is the easy part. Its the black one that im unsure about...and the extra wire running stuff. I know this was probably asked before but ive searched for like 24hrs straigt now and every thread on this seems to end with no conclusion. Thanks in advance!
