I found the amp inbehind the stock radio. I'm glad they made it horribly
accessable, lol. Anyways I decided it would be in my best interest to
bypass the amp instead of using it. The plug coming out of the amp going to
the speakers does not match the plug coming out of the wiring harness I
bought.
I took the plug coming out of the amp and I cut it. I used a volt meter to
find out which wires went to which speaker. I spliced those wires into my
aftermarket radios wiring harness and all is working perfectly.
Also for informational purposes my mustang has the stock 6 speaker setup: 2
dash, 2 doors, 2 rear. However the plug on has 8 wires going into it and
12 coming out. The two in the dash are linked to the two in the door. You
could always cut them if you wanted to do something different with the dash
speakers.
