Default Stock amp bypass. please help me

i Recently traded a ford escort for this badass durango, and i love it. glass pack n all. after further inspection i have a beefed up audio system. the infinity tweeters led me to believe so. and also the hidden amp under the passenger kicker panel. anyway, i bought a new deck, JVC, and i have rockford fosgate subs and amp. only when i hook up the deck, i get no audio from the speakers.. i bought the splitters at walmart so it could be a simple hook up. definitely not. please help me, my end result is having everything hooked up. but i do not want to re wire the speakers. i want to bypass the amp. thank you.

that's it? could I take it to best buy and have them do it? also, how easy would it be for me to do that if I bought it. do I just hook it up to amp? plain and simple?

If you wanna pay through the noise then yes best buy can do it... its a matter of removing some screws on the kick panel, unplugging the amp and re connecting into the bypass harness...

The reason why you are not getting audio is probably because you didn't tap the blue wire in.. the factory amp works like any other amp. It needs a signal to turn on. That signal comes from the blue wire.

Also, I did the bypass (DIY instructions on the internet) and I removed it a day later. Sounded worse.

This is with a Kenwood unit and infinity component speakers.
