Wiring Aftermarket Amp in 2000 SE
Hello again everyone!
OK, I've replaced everything associated with my sound system but the stock deck. At the moment I'm wanting to install my 4 channel amp for my fronts and rears. Does anyone know where a good spot would be to intersect the output wires from the factory head unit? I thought I read somewhere that you could find them behind the driver'* side kickpanel. Am I full of beans? If someone had some advice it would be great.

don't all Bonnevilles 2000+ have a factory amp? It is behind the back seat behind the plastic panel. I was just going to post a question about this too.. I want to bypass the factory amp and install my own (bigger) amp in my Aurora. I do not know what wires do what though. Ineed a wire schematic. Does any one know anything about the factory amplifier on the 2000+, it'* location, and what all the wires do? This is for the non-bose system..

I've already taken out both back seat pads, the sail-panels, the rear deck cover, and the plastic cover in the trunk. I didn't see anything that looked like a GM amp.
I think I read that the 2000+ Bonnies with the cd player have a ribbon cable connecting to the stereo. True? No Bose here either.

On the 2000+ with the BOSE system, the amp is mounted on the back wall of the trunk, driver'* side, under a big plastic false-wall. It'* real easy to get to everything...all speaker wires, remote power switch, etc.
Plus, since the car'* battery is under the back seat, running power to a trunk-mounted amp is easy too.
