I'm replacing my HU as the first step in completely rewiring the entire stereo. Still (temporarily) going to use the factory speakers, but would like to bypass that piece of aluminum Ford calls an amp, still using factory wiring. Anyone have a good wiring schematic so that I can aviod 4 hours of testing?

Why don't you just get the harness adapter? Crutchfield makes one, and I know there are other sources. It plugs into the wiring at the amp, and should be long enough to reach the trunk, or wherever you mount your amp! This way you can always return everything to stock(i.e. not cut wires)

I'm not installing my amp until after I replace the speakers. Not really planning on returning it to stock any time soon. I want to by-pass the ford amp, using the one in the HU until I install my amp and replace speakers. Can anyone explain exactly where the Crutchfield adapter plugs in, and if it B/P's the ford amp? Also price for the harness?

I bypasses the amp completely! I comes with very long wires. I originally used mine to do what you want to do(go to HU). I just bundled up the excess wire! I now have the harness running into an external amp in the trunk. I really can't remember what the cost was, but I know it was under $20! You can call Crutchfied at 888-955-6000.
