Go take out that right side front speaker panel. Locate that amp. Unplug the amp (there should be 1 connector on teh left, one on teh right). Well once you unplug it, remove the amp. You will see those 2 plugs will mate together

Why are you bypassing your amps? These amps put out no more power than a modern head unit. If you bypass them you'll barely hear a thing! This is 15 year old technology and not worth fixing. Just buy a new head unit and (if you're on a budget) wire it to the original speakers.

To run an aftermarket deck using the stock wiring harness. YOu would run into a problem where the door speakers wont work. TO get the door speakers to work, you have to bypass your amp

If you want to bypass the front passenger side speaker amp:

1) Remove speaker enclosure
2) Disconnect cnnector from speaker enclosure
3) Cut and connect the following wires:
Light Green with Red Stripe to Blue with Yellow Stripe
Light Green with Black Stripe to Blue with Red Stripe
Light Green to Large terminal (+) of Right Spkr
Light Green with Yellow Stripe to Small terminal (-) of Right Spkr

This will successfully bypass the amplifier so you can use the factory speaker wiring running from the speaker back to the corresponding speaker wiring at the head unit.

If you already have the speaker wires isolated and connected, then you have to locate the Light Green wires with the Red Stripe and the one with the Black Stripe. These 2 wires, once connected to each other complete the bypass operation.
