are you going to run after market comps and a amp or are you using the stock speakers?

Keeping my Infinity Gold speakers/tweeters/amp

so to install my headunit I "bypass" the amp???

"simply cutting the plugs off and splicing the correct wires together. It works something like this: The amp LF+ goes to LF+, amp LF- to LF- and so forth."

is that info correct?

nvmd...

i would not cut anything i would get the factory amp bypass harness maybe 20 buck off ebay i paid, or unplug the amp harness and use t taps, the amp is about 3 ft from the radio so u are gonna have to extend the wires either way mine as well buy the plug and play harness

but is that what I should do...OR...should I do this...

Older models just used speaker-level inputs to the amps. If it's the same, just hook up the new head unit and you should be OK. If it's the newer fiber connections, you're screwed (but I don't think Chrysler is doing that yet). Just make sure your remote-turn-on wire from the head unit goes to the stock power antenna wire to tell the amps to turn on.

As for the fat sub and amp, they would be run direct from the new head unit's preamp outputs.

trust me its worth the money, u unplug the amp plug into this harness and then match colors behind the radio purp to purp green to green
