There should be no prblem at all with the 93 doing an amp bypass. I know on the Mustangs of that year the amp is up front and you can find the non premium harness by digging around in the dash. You unplug th premium harness and the standard harness will plug right into the non premium ford deck with no cutting.

However, you didn't mention the year of the non premium for deck, if it is after 1998 you might need to use a "reverse" harness and wire it to an aftermarket non premium harness. Then it will still work with no cutting.

If the factory amp is in the trunk you may need to extend wires but this to can be done without cutting, you just need to by the "ford amp eliminator" harness and extend the speaker wires to the dash area. There is a way as well to integrate the factory amp but I don't reccomend that as the premium amp of those models and year are not really any more powerful then the non premium and tend to go bad, also noise can be an issue by running too much voltage into the amp. That could be solved with converters but only adds cost and is not nessecary IMO.

The non-premium radio is a 93 or 94 and has the two harnesses in the back. I did find the non-premium harness but when I plug it in the radio lights up like it is working but there is no sound. The 93 ground marquis they put the amp is in the trunk. Where would I get a "ford amp eliminator" harness?

thank
