I know there are a ton of amp bypass threads, sorry about starting yet another but here's my situation.  I recently switched out the factory HU in my '04 Pontiac Grand Am with a Pioneer DEH-P6400.  I  was getting a somewhat annoying, yet bearable amp pop whenever the HU turned off or switched source and was told that was due to the factory amp conflicting with the deck and switching off and back on.  Now however, with an aftermarket amp and subs installed, my subs fire with the amp pop and it's far less tolerable.   I've already had to do a relocation for the deck, as well as split the rear preouts to run the subs so I'm hoping there is there a relatively simple way to bypass the amp?  I've been told a number of things about the Monsoon system, including the fact that the rear 6x9s are DVC and would have to be replaced if I wanted to take my factory amp out of the equation, is that valid?  Just looking for some more input as I'm starting to feel like I'm getting the run around on this install, Thanks.

you can try adding a resister inline to tone down on the 12v' remote wire going to the factory amp.. remember that a factory amp doesn't always require a full 12v turn on.. so try to tone it down with like a 600-900 ohm resister and see if that kills that annoying pop.. just make sure that your lead for your aftermarket amp still gets its full 12v. but this sure cure your ill's. Because the pop that you are hearing is nothing more then a discharging of the amp. I had the same problem with my pioneer 4600. Eventually I put in my alpine deck and haven't had a problem since then.. But then again I also decided to run a 4 chanel alpine amp.
