bypassing Bose amp

[Slueth66]

Is there any way to bypass the bose amp in a 2001 grand prix? Or do i have to run new speaker cables to all 6 of the speakers? Im installing a new head unit and want to run the speakers off the head unit

No real way of just bypassing it "easily." Is the amp blown or do you just want to bypass it?

Well i dont think the sound quality is the best from the bose system and im not sure if it will improve if a headunit is installed and i keep the bose amp. im leaning towards powering my speakers off the head unit or a different amp.

adding the deck will help but your weak link is the stock speakers, replacing the fronts with some nice aftermarkets will make a world of difference. I'm running some infinities on the same system and they scream over the subs in the trunk.

im thinking about running it off the stock amp until i decide to by a new amp and who knows maybe it will sound better so i wont need to. i got all the speakers replaced except the front with infinities so my next step will be new head unit and putting in some new fronts im thinking about modifying for 6 1/2's instead of 5 1/4's. =)

you prolly should have done the fronts first becasue that's what you hear most, i run the kappa's and they sound really good
