I found the factory amp UNder the Passenger seat and now I want to bypass the amp to run all of my door speakers to the back does anyone know the wire colors for the output of the factory amp to the door speakers. And also does anyone know the wire color for installing my head unit wire harness, like remote , memory, power ant,.. ect.

NeiLtYmE Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 hey.. if you get a toyota wire harness .... it will work it the lex.... and you wont have to rewire the speaker..... its really not worth it .... the factory amp actually does a good job in assist to the new radio youll put it.... i did it.. and it works like a charm...

ProZac Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Ok ok... now i hear everybody say the amp is under the front passanger seat... i Look and Look but see NOTHING!!! lol do i have to rip up the carpet? Because all i see directly under the seat is the gears for the seat adjustment. I have a '97 es. ProZac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 The system in your ES is an Active system and I do nt think it will work with any other amp. if you are going to bypass the amp then i suggest you replace the speakers. I replaced all mine and had the amp installed in the trunk. I have ripped the old amp out and place my crossover circutry there under the carpet. Complete rewire was in order! no way the old speaers would work... and they were crap anyway when i removed them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 i nkow the 92-96 is under the passenger seat not sure for the mcv20 though ( 97-02) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeiLtYmE Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 pull your seat all the way up ... and youll see the amp most likely...... no tearing of carpets required here.... the original speakers on your car dependent upon use... should be awesome... remember they were made to work wit the amp.... And Actually you can get any ISO or DIN radio with a harness from the toyota camry to work with the amp... the speakers are all great... its the singal to the speakers that count... right now.. with the stock radio... its not enough power along side the amp... plus a weak signal..... Do this .. and it saves you a hole heck of a lotta doe plus time.... ive done this... lots of other people have to... no complains yet!

ProZac Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 Yea. on my '97 i pushed the seat ALL the way up, and all that is there are the vents for the Heater.... the amp is the size of a standard one right? somewhat flat, yet a big square??? its not under the passanger seat.....

NeiLtYmE Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 hmmmm ... maybe .. the amp 's dont exist in the 97 up models.... anyone with the g2's and g3's have an amp ? either that or if you got the car used ... the amp was prolly ripped out...... in my 96 ... the cd was ripped out when i brought it.... i was quite the angry camper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProZac Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 hrm... well i don't believe it was ripped out, i don't think this 'older' couple who i bought it from would have done that... maybe the head unit has the amp built in to the channel for the sub, it is a big unit, so who knows???

Reyg325 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Bought harness for after market radio in 96 lexus es 300 one harness fix there still another one that didnt match. Radio turn on but no sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sufrinos Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Connecting the harness blue with white stripe red wires that are connected with the stereo will put sound in the speakers. Mine has a whining pitching sound that goes higher as the motor revs higher. Also music shuts off and my pioneer radio display says amp error, working well randomly longer times than others, resets back to normal when turning the car back on again. Any suggestions to fixing these issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
