old school alpine question

[r6ridah]

hey guys, first post on here. i have a decent amount of knowledge dealing with audio. i have decided to break out a few of my old amps, blow off the dust, and install them into my new truck.

with that being said, i have an alpine mrp-f257 5 channel that will be running my 4 2-way speakers. (infinity 6 1/2) i know the amp is a little underpowered for the speakers, but its all i have for now. i have a seperate amp running my subs, so the 5th channel on the alpine wont be used. I AM MISSING THE SPEAKER OUTPUT CONNECTOR. the amp doesnt have any terminals that the speaker wire connects to, instead it has a harness you wire the speakers/remote wire into and then that plugs into the amp. without that, the amp is useless.

i have been to numerous places around here in st.louis and they basically said to check around online and find one, or worst case scenario , call alpine and hope they can send one out if they have it. anyone have one layin around or know where i can pick one up?

ok, well no help here yet...so i called alpine and they sent me to their parts distributor. the amp was discontinued 2 years ago, so they basically told me that i wouldnt be able to find it. its the speaker output harness part# 01E23876S01. i have a perfectly good amp that is useless without that harness, so i am debated on getting this just to get my system up and running...let me know. i have searched for that harness all over and nothing. i dont understand why alpine decided to use a harness for the speaker output/remote wire
