Default Stock amp replacement

Has anyone with a aftermarket radio replaced their stock trunk amp and rewired the stock harness to the aftermarket amp? If so how did you go about this, I’m not getting subs but I would like to get gains to my aftermarket speakers which already had a significant gain from installing my aftermarket pioneer radio

I did, used 2
Metra 70-2003 Metra 70-2003
harnesses and repined them to match the remote and speaker outputs to amp and tied headunit out to tweeter channel. Tried using high level input to amp thru harness but had to much alt noise (ground loop). Ran rca to low side to solve.

Will update with images of install as it's 1245 am and like 14 degrees out right now.

You can't run power to power. That's why they put RCAs on radios.....lol.

You can use the High level inputs on amp long as you gain match it.... That's why they put high level inputs on amp... LoL.


Only switched to rca/low level inputs cause I didn't wanna track down the ground loop cause alternator whine.
