Bypassing factory amp 2001 gmc Yukon XL SLT non Bose aftermarket replacement subwoofer

[LordWayback]

Here’s my rpo codes it’s a odd truck how would I be able to bypass my factory amplifier I believe my amplifier just went out I was installing new door speakers plugged one of 4 other 3 factory heard a buzz and nothing on the left side of the truck functioned anymore audio wise so that probably means I smoked the amp. All of the amplifier bypasses I see aren’t plug and play in my model year.

I keep hearing about swapping pins on this harness but how does that work to bypass the amp?

The only thing i can find on the subject that isn’t dead links

This is all I can think of from the sources I’ve found would this work to completely bypass the factory amp in my 01? No bose with subwoofer onstar panel deleted connectors left in no steering controls aftermarket HU with adapter

Give Crutchfield a call and explain your objectives to those folks. They are quite good at offering solutions for adapters for audio systems.

Jeep used a slightly different speaker on their factory subs in 05. Crutchfield found me an aftermarket replacement for Kicker that matched the system perfectly! It had an ohm rating that was not all that common in the majority of subwoofer speakers. They had it in stock!

They basically said pretend it’s a 2002 and gamble or leave it broken

I have bigger issues , I threw my door panel back on to just drive it around and not even my seat heater is working now something definitely happened when I plugged that door speaker in

The factory amplifier screws are 7mm

you don't need a adapter, the wire pin outs are all shown in the diagram above, test each speaker to verify and cut the wires and wire as needed directly to headunit or amp, the 00-01 is not hard at all. the rear door speakers are also wired to the rear pillar speakers so you really only have 5 channels at best presuming the rear sub isn't rotted to pieces already
**edit I could be wrong on the rear pillar speakers those "might" be wired separate from the amp behind the glove box
