the stock radio hooks up to the amp most likely by rca outputs, or some other connection, you can use that existing connection to upgrade your amp

i think it has a wiring harness not an rca connection...and i dont wanna trial and error the pin connections.

if i use the existing wires for an upgraded amp, wont the wires burn cuz more power is being used?

i think that the only wire that should need to be replaced is the power wire coming from the battery to the amp. the other wires should be ok.

also if there is no rca connections there is a kit you can buy that will allow you to connect a radio to an amp without rca.

How many speaker? 4? bridge the two front output to power all 4 speakers...the two rear total 4wires? splice them and attached to the spliced RCA...those should connect to the new amp...splice and tape up connection carefully its been done before ain't competition quality but works good....keep the stocks less like to get jacked etc....
