I ran new speaker wires and bypassed the factory amp. I just used the speaker wires on the amp harness going out to the speakers temporarily until I get serious.

Everything works perfect, and sounds way better. When I first learned I had to hard wire, I searched this forum and google for about half hour. I found some good info that should of been stickied, but I cant find it now Ill post up if I find the links again.
This is basically what I did as well.
