Default Factory Amp

I had time to actually fool around with my radio this weekend and i was wondering if you just take out the factory amp and try and hook up your head unit will it work or no? will it work and sound bad? plus i was planning on putting a 400w amp in anyway

thanks

if your name implies the year of you car....The factory Amp runs on a single ground system...if you are putting in a CD player I recomend unplugging everything and find the plug that comes out of the amp to the speakers...the outher one will have some wires twisted togather on it leave this one alone...makes fire...fire bad...the plug running to the speakers clip all the wires closely to the plug because theres not much to work with anyway...get yourself a 9V battery and this is extramly tedious and time consuming. but pic two random wires and put one on (+) and one on(-) keep trying combos of them all when you find 2 that match a clicking will be heard from the speaker it corresponds to this is easier to do with a friend because its hard to hear when you are halfway in your dash then tape the wires and mark them to know which goes to which speaker...then buy a harness from any local stero shop for the hot/ground/ect. and hook it all up...this is exactly how mine is and it sounds great...if you have any questions dont hesitate to e-mail me at fivepointzero@kytnar.org
