Are you replacing factory speakers, or running components, or what?

replacing factory speakers with component speakers. I want to replace the original speaker wire with new 14 awg speaker wire, but i'm not sure how to make the conection to the existing wiring harness by the cd receiver.

keyword here is replace.....when replacing something you completely do away with anything preexisting thus the wire harness does not matter...run your wire from your power source directly to your speakers or crossovers

x2. Just forget about the harness. RCA's take the signal from the HU to the amp. Then speaker wire from amp to x-over.
