2000 factory amplifier only in convertible?
Hello, I'm looking to replace my head unit and have read a lot about bypassing the factory amp if you have the premium sound system. I have a 2000 Solara SLE; it has a 6-disc changer and it does say JBL on the speaker panels, but NOT on the actual head unit. I've also read that the amplifier is to increase the bass when the convertible top is down (from road noise). My main question being, even though I have the SLE with JBL speakers, is there no amplifier in the non-convertible hard tops? Also, I definitely don't have a factory sub (pretty sure it only came in convertible with the 2000 model) so my other question, is it even possible to have the amp, and not have the sub?
I basically am at a stand-still on whether I need to buy a regular harness

Or the amp bypass harness
