Need Help With Amp On 99 Gs300

[Jimmy Yang]

Hey all, I bought a aftermarket headunit because my oem has some display issues.

I don't really want to buy any aftermarket amp but will if it will be much easier to go

that route. According to the schematic diagram, the GS300 has two amps? One in the

front and the other that powered the sub is in the trunk. Well, I removed the trunk

carpet but don't see any amp back there. What I really hate to do is having to pull

the rca wire and power wire all the way to the trunk for the amp Any help

will be appreciated. Thanks a lot guys

do a search. i had the same questions you had and found a thread covering this already. there is only one amp in the passenger side kick panel. find the thread and you will learn how to bypass the factory amp

Thanks for replying 1sikGS. Do you happen to remember the link the thread you got help?

It would really help me because I tried to do some search but no luck that's why I decided

to post a new thread.

Nevermind, I finally found that the speaker wires are coming out of the amp. Got it hook up by cutting the harness because I plan to keep this baby for a long time and if I had to sell it, the system will go with it. I finally found out that the stock amp does not have RCA input so I have to get aftermarket amp to power the sub. Bought the Alpine 250 watts and planning on putting it where the CD changer located that way, I don't have to run the power and RCA wires to the back of the trunk.

Did it and it sound a lot better with the Alpine amp. The amp is now located where the stock

cd changer is and boy, it takes a long time to figure out how to make the bracket to for the

amp to fit in but its all worth the time. Looks ok, but "professionaly" custom installed for $0 installation fee
