i'm trying to install a an amp and a 10 in sub..i hook everything up and the freakin speaker don't work..... someone told me that i have to bypass the stock amp or some ****.. please help me on what the hell i have to do thanx

 

need a lil more info. what kind of stereo do you have. what kind of system are you hooking up.

is the power hooked up? ground hooked up?

 

Do you have an aftermarket head unit?

Bypass what amp... the stock one? Then do you have the Bose radio stock?

Is it a 3rd gen?

 

my friend had a mustang and on his stock radio ford put little amps from the deck to the speakers because most stock stereos dont have anypower runing to them. go to a local soeaker shop and ask for a piece that runs from ur stock stereo to you amp and that might help. its like 20 bucks

 

Not true. Even in new cars, most stock radios have a built in amp. Many do have external amps, yes, but that is usually paired with a higher stereo option; hence not necessarily stock.

 

I think Ford likes having external amps... which I think is a good thing...

Lincoln town cars have external amps (fairly powerful too!) behind the rear seats

GMC 1500 series trucks have amplifiers too.... stock radio
