I finally got around to removing the OEM Ford amplifier from my car and the improvement in sound was incredible .The sound is not only clearer but my subwoofer is much louder now.
The Ford amp is truly a wretched POS. Even worse is Fords decision to use speaker output wiring as an input to the amp instead of low level RCA inputs. Kudos to Ford for making the speaker inputs and output wires and completely different colors too - idiots.
Anyhow, I removed all the Ford speaker wiring from the H.U. to the amp and threw it (+ amp) away. I hard wired everything together , not bothering to buy the bypass harness.
Total cost was around $10 (2 types of connectors, zip ties, 16g speaker wire and heatshrink). Best money I've ever spent on the 'tour
