Unhook facotry subwoofer

[jdcountryboy91]

I just put my own subs in my Tahoe and want to disable the factory sub because it sounds like trash. What is the easiest way to do this?

thanks

is it worth taking out the stock amp and putting in a new one to say run the rest of your speakers excluding subs? Or would it be easier to mount that amp somewhere else such as the back seat?

x4 just pull up the plastic and unhook the woofer

ok. I wasn't sure if that was the easiest or just snipping the wires coming out of the amp.

Got another question; I have read that the stock amp that powers the front speakers and sub woofer and it filters out the bass from the front speakers. I would like to get new components for the doors and would bypass the amp altogether. Does anyone know the wiring diagram for the amp so I can bypass it?

Radio Ignition dk. green + radio harness

Alright I got the stock sub unhooked and removed the busted speaker from the back door. Now I need to find replacements. So does that amp power just the fronts, the sub woofer, and the rear pillars? Or does it power everything?
