Adding an amp to factory navigation

Yes I sure do. This is what an eBay seller recommended. This doesn't seem like it'd work http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMESE%3AIT

Nope, you'll either have to catch the line level signal before it gets to the sony dsp/amp, or you'll have to shell out the cash for an LOC capable of signal summing like the JL audio cleansweep.

I had no idea the door speakers were amped...man must be a horrible amp?? So it's under the center console. So what I need is an amp that has line level inputs, cut the speaker wire before it hits the amp and use that as my input to my aftermarket amp, then the out put from the aftermarket would goto the output from the Sony amp(cut as well). Sound about right?? Just completely bypassing the Sony amp. Grabbing them from behind the deck and amped them up there would still send the signal through the factory Sony amp under the console before going to the speakers if I understand correctly??

Ok im new to this forum...and i love info from it. But i need more! I have an 09 king ranch with sony nav. Im looking to install an amp and subs...so i have to grab the wires before they hit the amp, convert to RCA with a converter, then i should be good to go? I have also read in other places that the wires running from the carpet to the subs are already set up as RCA...so could i just splice into that? I already have the amp i want....but i need these RCA's. And if i need to use the wires before the stock amp, does anyone know the diagrams for the wires? Thanx!

If you bypass the sony amp, you may lose the ability to fade, balance and control volume at the headunit. Just something to think about. As of right now, theres still not a harness you could use to bypass the sony amp with the factory nav

Sorry, but you have to cut. I have this same system. You can't bypass the Sony amp because it puts the weird signal from the Nav unit back together. Feeds a high pass, band pass, and low pass signal. If you cut the wires between the amp and the speakers you will then feed the amp side to a DSP (Cleansweep is perfect). Then Cleansweep to amps. Amps back to the other side of your cut which will lead to the speakers.
I am not aware of any harnesses for our truck (Sony/Nav). Don't get conned by an ebay seller. If there is a harness, then I overworked.
