Amp harness?
Ok folks heres a question.
I know ******** makes a very nice harness to get preouts out to be able to hook up an amp. I have a different desire though. What I would like is some sort of harness that goes to the factory plug that allows me to replace the factory amp while maintaining the harness, using the factory wiring and NOT cutting it. I would also be replacing my front and rear speakers as well. This way I can plug in there, run a power and ground, and hook the speakers right to the factory wires. I have no desire for a subwoofer. Just trying to avoid cutting any wires in the car, I'm a stickler for originality sometimes. PS I have been a car audio installer on and off for 15 years, if I needed to I could wire it myself, I'd rather do it this way.

******** may not have the harness in stock at the moment. Best bet would be to call them and see if they have any. They have the V3 harness on the site, but the FARK harness is absent. The FARK harness (with the accompanying 6x9 plugs) allows you to power the factory speakers without cutting any wires.
I originally started out by cutting up my wires, but I have the FARK kit now. I would like you to know that if you go with the FARK harnesses, you will lose the center channel up front and the tweeter channels or woofer channels in the rear.

I would almost even be ok with using the factory amp, but I'd imagine it can't push enough juice to a good set of speakers.

Your not gonna lose any sound in the rear because your replacing your 6x9's, You can also retain use of the center channel by running a small 1 ch amp. I replaced my Center Channel driver with a JL Audio 3 1/2 and i think it sounds great.

I want to use this amp mount: http://********.com/Chevrolet-GMC-Su...Amp-Mount.html Which seriously limits my amp choices. But I want to hide the amp out of the way so I doubt I'd be able to power the front channel anyway. What are you using?

I am considering that with a set of BA components and 6x9's but still on the fence. The factory sound system in here is really not horrendous, so it makes it tough to tear it out and change it.

If you splice into the factory wiring, you can power them all.

The op said in the 1st post he was replacing the 6x9's so he wont lose the tweeters, In my response i said he would need to use a 1ch amp to keep the center channel.

No sir I used the Fark harness before i switched to the MS-8, you'll only lose the tweeters on the BA 6X9's And i said to retain your center channel you will need a 1ch amp.

Also, how you like that MS-8? I have been considering something like that or the IMPRINT. Do you have the MS-8 powering your speakers, or only providing EQ/time alignment functions?
