Hello to all. I am going nuts with my Mach 460 in my 95 Cobra. I have an Alpine CDA 9847 as my head unit. I installed it using harnesses to integrate the factory amps and speakers. Well, looks like my front amp didn't like the new setup and committed suicide. Where do I go from here? Can I bypass that amp? Need advice
yes ther amps can be bypassed. either by using the basic black anf gray plugs behind the radio deep in the dash, or if that is not there you can just rereun speaker wire.

If you say "I already know how", don't ask me a single question.
Using the black and grey plugs they are there soooo....how exactly do I do that? With a bypass harness? Or some other way?

all you need is regular ford harness they grey plug will have your power which will be the same as the one you got with your first harness the black rectangular one has your speaker wires in it. I'm guessing the amped harness you got is square. the metra harness you need is 70-1770 I think?
im probably assuming you already got your stereo installed but ill say this anyway. you could have used the regular 2 rectangle ford harness. to the right of the radio you would have seen the black plug. thats all you needed to bypass the amp. all your speakers are in there. granted, i replaced all the speakers when i did this also so i dont know if everything would work as youd want it too.
