If you still want to by-pass the factory amp, go right on ahead, but I don't think it's necessary. I had a 90 Taurus SHO with the premium sound system and I never by-passed the amp and used that same wiring harness from that picture and hooked up all of the wires including the amp wire and it so much louder.


Everyone (including myself) who have bypassed the factory amp have reported substantial gains in terms of sound quality and output levels.

Why don't you try it yourself before you start calling people liars, especially when you've never bypassed the factory amp on either of your cars and have no idea what you're talking about.
