Quick question about bypassing the Infinity amp. I just installed an aftermarket HU and used the factory wiring, assumably going through the stock amp. Sounds pretty good except I am not getting sound to the rear speakers, occasioanlly. I've pinpointed it down to the wiring. So since I am running new speaker wires anyway ... if I run the speaker wires directly from the back of the HU to each door, can I completely cut out and remove the stock amp? Theoretically since all of the speaker wires are going directly from the HU to the doors, there would be no reason I couldn't remove the amp, right? I plan on adding an aftermarket amp for a single sub next.

Yeah you can take out the factory amp now, just make sure that you cap off all the wires. But there is no reason to keep it in, it's just dead weight.

since you are running new speaker wire to all of the speakers, you are bypassing the amp...so yes, you can take it out. You will loose your dash speakers unless you run speaker wire to those as well (which I wouldn't recommend because your deck will fry).

Yeah I just finished. Took about 4 hours total. I have Infinity components in the front doors so I just sacrificed the dash tweeters, and I have Infinity 6.5"s in the rear doors. The Sony HU (52Wx4) sounds better than running through the stock Infinity amp. All I have left to run is the power cable from the battery terminal to my Alpine amp. Thanks.
