Hello,

I have been searching around for a bit an can't get a black an white answer on this.

I'm going to be getting a Pioneer double din DVD head unit and I was going to run better speaker wire from the head unit to the speakers (maybe a 4 channel amp in the future). As in I'm not going through the stock harness for any audio. To bypass the stock amp can I just unplug it and remove it? I figure since I don't need the harness for anything I could just remove the amp. Would this work fine?

I've run speaker wire like this in my Prelude with no problem but not sure if this method is OK for the TL.

Anyone know the answer to this?

I'm in the same position but the most I've heard was just plug the in to the out. Did you get a solution to this yet

If you all aren't going to be using the stock harness for anything, you should be able to just take out the amp with no ill effects.

If you're wanting to use the stock harness for something here's how to bypass the amp.

what do you mean just take out the amp? ok, then what?..just leave the amp wires disconnected??, you still would have to connect all the speaker wires to the aftermarket receiver via bypassing the amp and connecting the wires running into the amp directly to the receiver.. so the question is, what are the options of doing that are there harnesses for that or do you have to just wire splice?

If you're going to run new speaker wire from your new receiver to your speakers, then you can leave the amp in or take it out, set it on fire, and throw it off a cliff, it DOESN'T matter, you're running new wire to power your speakers.

If you're not going to run new wire from your new receiver to your speakers, click the link in my first post, it explains how to use your stock wiring harness to bypass the stock amplifier.

If you can't decipher this post Kenny, hire someone.
