Amplifier

[Mauser]

Well after getting my ISO leads from fleabay I set about trying to wire the CK3000 into my existing wiring, what a nightmare, managed to sort the power leads with little problems, but when I come to connect the CK to the existing 2007R stereo the plugs are different....sob the funny plug on the right is the speaker output from the unit which feeds into the amplifier below via a plug @ the back which is tight up against the dash doh, impossible to unplug whilst its in place I managed to remove the rear scre & the front right but the left front is buried behind the dash which I am not taking out. Out comes the dremel with a cutting disk in & half an hour later the left pin is removed. Now the amp moves forward and I can unplug it....I was hoping it would be a standard speaker output plug matching the leads mentioned above, but sadly its not more pins & closer together. Question is do I bypass the amp ?, does it make much difference without it ? & reading through other posts the CK3000 won't mute properly with amplified systems such as my current setup.

I am hoping I can get a bypass lead from a local car audio shop but wont go down the route if the speakers won't work afterwards. Any advice on whats best course to take ?.

A. Bypass amplifier with lead and run without it.

B. Try and keep current setup and find an adapter to allow conversion from amp to standard speakers.

C. Sell the lot on fleabay & give up :o.

After much grief and effort its all working, would have been easier if Ford hadn't been so tight with wiring loom cable lengths..... :lol:.

Thanks to those who tried to help :lol:.
