Would the factory amp make my afer market speakers crack. I put my new deck in a lil while ago and ive noticed that my speakers will crack under a small load. Ive thought about by passing my amp becuz my deck puts out more power any ideas.

My current setup is Pioneer Head unit. Fosgate 6 1/2s and Pioneer 6x9's. And my tweeters arnt hocked up cuz there blown.

there isnt really a problem with bypassing the factory amp. it made my life a lot easier.

How hard is it to do.

you basicallly have to wire the speakers directly to the deck. the rears are easy, the doors are a bit more difficult. i did this on my sebring but not on the avenger, (been too busy). i would just bypass the ones in the rear and leave the ones in the front.

What wires are needed. And after you bypass the amp where do u wire it into the bk of ur deck.  Im not good with wiring at all lol so i ask alot of prob really simple ???.

OR go down to your local Car Stereo shop and spend 15-20 for a bypass harness and it's all MUCH easier.

....ok from what i know..the reason why the ones in the door is hard..is to wire it from the deck to the door. that is the ONLY difficulty. the kit they sell at the store for like $10 is a given and it helps u identify what goes where. that still doesnt leave out the difficulty of getting the wiring from the deck to the door tho....

Ya see my fronts dont crack like my rears do. My rears are brand new so idk why there cracking but theyll only crack with lyk a rock song. If its rap there perfect.

You wouldn't need to run any wires because they are already run.  Where is the factory amp?  Rear deck or under the pass. seat?  You leave the stereo the way it is.  You go to where the amp is, unplug the input harness and the output harness, then you plug both ends of those into the new harness you bought.

Done.

With that bypass harness it will bypass my fronts also right.

It will bypass everything hooked up to the amp.  So you won't be RE-Amplifing an amplified signal.

thanks for the clarification on the harness, iw as thinking about something else...something i notice tho....my stock wires stopped working... :-\.....and we need a better variety of smilies...

underpowering you're speakers can cause as much damage as overpowering them. this damage will happen when you 're head starts to clip if you're turning it up because its not loud enough you will notice that it will start to distort that is when it is clipping and thats when it will start to damage a under powered speaker  my sugestion is get a amp matched to ur speaks then you will not have to turn it up as high and it won't clip

I would love to get another amp but i dont have any money so for now since my deck is better than the amp i was just gunna bypass it.
