I have a 2001 Dodge Ram. It seems when someone replace the factory speakers they put the back of the speakers deck upside down leaving the factory amp on the bottom. When it rained, the deck filled with water and the amp does not work anymore. Where can I find a replacement for the amp or how can I bypass so the speakers will work. I have tested the speakers on another vehicle and they are working. Thanks for your help.

 

do you have the factory radio with factory replacement speakers or aftermarket? If all aftermarket you can bypass the amp and just use the amp built into the radio to power all speakers. It will sound better that way because the factory truck amp will actually cut out at higher levels. I replaced all my factory speakers and h/u and it was well worth the effort.

 

what is the best way to overide the factory amp? I have an 07 qc with the upgrade sevem speaker system. i am putting in a new boss radio with 7 inch flip screen which pushes 85 watts per channel x 4 and i believe the factory amp will hurt not help. i was going to use the radio interface cable to make everything work but i want to elliminate the factory amp please help
