ok lets go back and look at what was previously written...

Hey I just put in a JVC KD-LH300 HU in my 2002 XE and I'm getting some distortion in my factory speakers when it gets a little loud. I'm thinking I need to bypass the factory amp. Anyone know where it's located? Would I be able to to just disconnect it? Thanks
then I said:

No you can't just disconnect it. It has to be rewired
Basically saying the same thing you said in the post above this. And THEN you said:
Quote:
I disconnected mine by removing the wiring harnesses that snapped into it. It took all of 5 minutes to locate the connectors and remove them
This would lead me to believe that you just disconnected your amp and the problem of distortion was solved.
so I asked:

and did you have sound after you disconnected it? In an earlier post, you described rewiring around the amp. This cannot be done by just unplugging it.
and then you said again making it sound like it would fix the problem:

Yes it can.
So I am READING your posts, but I guess I'm not understanding what you are trying to say...

The Fact is, if he wants to get better sound quality, he has to either turn down the bass, not turn it up so high or rewire around the amp. Whether he unplugs it or not doesn't really matter. The amp won't be coming on if the remote amp turn on wire (that connects to the factory radio harness) isn't connected, unless he used a harness adapter, it probably isn't. AND if he used a harness, that means the company that made the harness meant for you to use the factory amp... I can disconnect my headlights too, but that won't make my radio sound any better.
