My problem is my stereo is not currently producing any sound. The head unit lights up but no sound.

I can either double din the head unit and hook the stock speakers up and have ****************ty sound or I can replace the stock amp and still have ****************ty sound.

I would like to double din the head unit, bypass the amp, and wire up the stock speakers. When the wife's purse strings open I will replace the stock speakers.

Will this work?

Best,
Brad

yes, actually bypassing the stock amp is where you are going to get the most benefit, any double din or any head unit has more power by itself than the 4x25 nokia POS amplifier, now if your stock speakers are toast you will finish killing them with the headunit and then you can explain the wife that is now a life and death situation to get new ones.
