the factory radio didn't power the speakers. there were actually 4 external amps that each powered one speaker.
I haven't done this myself (ran new wires from new external amps to new speakers) but I have read that you can bypass the factory amps by connecting the two harness plugs together directly.
basically the factory amp has the harness from the radio go into it and then the harness continues on its way to the speaker.....cut out the middle man

You'll never understand this properly if you have no idea what the system even looks like. Reading wiring diagrams is not hard, and it's a vital skill if you want to be able to repair/modify/improve your car yourself.

If the antenna is not up, will the radio not turn on?
