Hi, I have a 2005 Chrysler Crossfire Convertible. Need wire Harness for Radio amplifier. Unfortunately, water got in and destroyed the amplifier, which I replaced only to find that the plugs that plug into the back of it are also corroded. I can be reached at lividdevil@gmail.com

 

Is it possible that the place where you got the amp could cut off the sockets, and then you could splice them in?

 

Unfortunately No. Hoping someone has a wreck or has that part due to changing their amp. Thnks

 

I don't mean to be offensive, but stop making this so hard. Take the EASY way out and put this behind you.

Take that factory amp and THROW IT IN THE TRASH. Take your factory head unit and THROW IT IN THE TRASH.
Buy a nice JVC or Kenwood head unit (you can get nice stuff for under $100). Then buy a four channel amp, I recommend Kenwood.

Now, install the head and simply run 8 wires (two per channel) down to the amp area. Install the amp and wire it up.
Cut the connectors off the harness going to the speakers, and wire them up to the amp output. DONE.

Just don't push the volume too high, these newer amps are capable of overdriving the speakers in the car.

Point is, you will have AWESOME sound that the factory crap cannot provide. And you need not screw around looking for connectors, splicing wires, etc.

 

Are you looking for those?

 

I know this post is > 4 years old, but I am now looking for exactly those plugs, for the same reason as the original poster. And, NO, I don't want to throw the amp and radio out just yet! Does anyone know of a source of the plugs, or even the correct part numbers please? I tried Crutchfield in the US of A, but they couldn't help.

 

Experience has shown that the connectors are no longer used in current production cars of any sort, and for that reason, are not in any parts catalogs. We deal with this all the time when the CLP/SSM gets wet and it's cables and connectors get all corroded.

My advice to you is to do what we do for the CLP/SSM: Find a parts car and grab the last 2-4 feet of cable with the connectors and do a splice job.
If no such cars are available in your area, you can always upgrade to a nice new aftermarket amp.

Aside from that, there is a Facebook group that is kind of a "parts/tech help" page that I help moderate, we have quite a few owners on there with parts cars - that harness is not in high demand, should be able to find one pretty easily. Look for "The Crossfire Tech-Parts & Rescue Group", answer the membership questions (so we know you are a real person not a 'bot) and I'll let you right in.

 

Many thanks for your comprehensive reply. I'll follow your advice... apart from the Facebook pointer, unless there's an alternative way to reach the same group of people, as I am Facebook-phobic

 

It’s a lot less work to get a new amp along with head unit/speakers and run new wires.
It’s easier than you might think.

Your ears will thank you.
