Do a search in the Audio forum for bypassing the amp. The HU I ordered from Crutchfield came with a special harness to bypass the amp. 1998 Black CSVT, 75k mi

I wasnt sure if it was the converter or the amp itself or what. The converter cost like 75 dollars so I really wasnt wanting to buy a new one to test. I just said screw it and ran new speaker wires. Converter? What converter? Do you mean wire harness? All you need (and really you dont need, you can splice) is a new wire harness to fit the new HU. Most HU's come with them. I used one since I want to pull the HU before I sell the car. 1998 Black CSVT, 75k mi
