Factory Amp Bypass

Just wondering if anyone knows how I can bypass the factory amp on this vehicle quickly? It is located in the passenger kick panel and I tried to pop the speakers with a battery but to no avail. I have the volkswagen harness with amplifier lead but it is not working. The vehicle is at work right now and I'm leaving to go work on it soon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just get 'er done!

When you pop the speaker's are you using the output harness on the amplifier to test the speaker's or at the HU ?Use the wires at the output on the amp to wire in a new HU

Thanks for the quick reply, I got it to work..........

I wired up all the speakers from the HU to the amp output harness and it sounded amazing compared to the factory HU. My customer was was so happy he asked if he could have the CD I used to demo the new HU.

Thanks again brothers!

Paul.

Land Rover Discovery.

Amp is in the passenger footwell, Small box, you can run speaker wire to it, but you'll lose the 6.5" woofers in the liftgate area. OR. YOu can hunt down the wiring codes for the deck Which are "LOW LEVEL" or rca type connections. Those will give you a Ground followed by a left and right signal. That will keep your factory subwoofers in the lift gate working.
