    Just wondering if I could buy another one because some moron removed my factory amp and gave me nothing to use. Just so you know, I am not very big on big sound.

    When installin after market cd players, they are usually bypassed. If youve ever seen the size of it, you know its not really doin much. So dont worry about it, your not missin out on anything special

    The guys at Soundtrack decided to charge me $40 extra to remove my factory amp. So much for free install. :rolleyes: Needed the car, and I'm no good with that kind of wiring stuff, so I had to pay up. :(

    all thats needed to bypass it is a simple wiring harness. So instead of soldering just one to the aftermarket radio, you solder 2 and then plug them into the factory harnesses
