So much for the "simple" upgrade...

Find them and run speaker wires from the stereo to the amps then tap the wires into the amp harness. Leave the amps disconnected. Or run separate wires to the speakers.

I believe there's a left channel amp and a right channel amp. The connectors for each amp should have numeric markings. I'm fairly sure pin 7 if front (+), pin 8 is front (-), pin 1 is rear (+), pin 3 is rear (-). I said fairly sure

There is an antenna cable, so it looks like there is no separate tuner.

Ok, time to look for the amps - good thing nothing else going on this holiday weekend...

Thanks, Sixto, for your input...could not have gotten this far without this forum...
