[QUOTE="sjv13, post: 8121462, member: 632245"] lol, no. My car didnt have a factory amp. It had a regular old HU and all the speakers attached to it via a harness, and they all ran off of head unit power. Then I got a new HU and a 4 channel amp. I didnt want to run new speaker wire through the doors, and all the speaker wires were already concentrated into the plug, so I snipped off the plastic connector piece that would ordinarily plug into a head unit. Then, I read a wiring chart and found out which colors were what, and then proceeded to splice the new speaker wire into the correct ones and run the wire back to where I have my amp and connect it to the correct speaker wire outputs of the amp. All I'm saying here is that I think I'll need to sell the car with a HU w/ at least 4 pre-outs and with a 4 channel amp, since I cut off the plastic piece that would ordinarily plug into a head unit to let the speakers be powered by it.
