Where do you work? I just noticed your from Everett. How much do you think you guys would charge to fix something like this?

I work at a best buy, just not the everett one.

As far as how much I'd charge, it's hard to say without seeing how bad things are under the seat.

One question, you do have the factory radio brackets, right?

you just have to know where to get them

Agreed, if I didn't have a discount on them I'd just buy them online.

Are they the bronzish colored ones? Look at the first post, one of the pictures has a tiny bit of it in it, is that it?

Ok so now that I realize that they were just bypassing the amp with the purple/ green harness I'm thinking this isn't a big problem at all. You have to do this to run an aftermarket deck right? I have a clarion that came with the car ( think it was proffesionally installed because how nice it's sleeved) but when everything is plugged in it gets no power. I don't want to un bypass the stock amp if I would just have to bypass it again to use an aftermarket deck.

Anyway here are the pics of whats under the seat.

Not true. I sell the harness at my work for 20$.

Really, you sell the harness that adapts into the Stock Amp for 20 bucks... Wow. That must be one damn good hookup. My normal harnesses cost 15-20 bucks. Never seen one for the stock amp for that cheap.

Just so were clear, I am not talking about the normal harness, just crimp into radio harness and plug and go... I'm talking about the one that connects to the RCA's of the aftermarket Stereo and then into the round Plug that goes to the Amp. Only wires you have to crimp are the power wires.

I work at an audio shop also. All I do every day is Stereo Here, Amp Here, Alarm Here, Sub Here all day long.

Clean96Gst: You need to buy a multimeter, even if it's a cheap one. Test for constant power, accessory power at the radio harness and then test for a good ground. Like I said before, the cig light ground works just fine.

Josh: Almost all harnesses at my shop are 22 bucks. The mitsubishi one we have, for whatever reason has but the amplified harness with the din cable, as well as the non-amplified harness in one package. I want to say we carry metra for this?

Are you talking about the stock deck or the aftermarket one? I'm still confused if i need the stock amp to use the stock deck or not.

In order to run the stock deck well you need to run the stock amp. The problem is, the stock deck only puts out a low level signal which isn't enough to even run the stock speakers at a decent level, hence the stock amp.

Since the factory amp is bypassed, there is not reason to go back to stock.

O, ok cool. The main problem is the harness that goes from the amp bypass into the female stock deck and male aftermarket. There are a ton of wires that are cut/not going anywhere.
