Problems, Problems
I recently bought a new head unit and speakers. If I use the stock wiring harness will the stock preamps interfere with or improve the power of my stereo? Comparing the schematics that came with my stereo and the wiring diagram for the car, the preamps would cause my head unit to malfunction. Do I have to run new wires?

Well i had the same problem, because the deck does not bypass the amps. So what i did was take out all of the amps, and reuse the wire that they had in there. Then to hook up the deck up i used the existing wires, i bought a wire harness converter (15$) , which easily hooked the wires up into the back of my deck.
I don't think you can use the amps, regardless. And im guessing that your deck will be able to give out more power , becuase the factory speakers are only 10W.
Good luck. Hope this helps.

I believe a aftermarket harness is available from Metra for you to incorporate your factory amps with an aftermarket head unit. However I would just do as Bigmike said. a good aftermarket head unit should put out just as much if not more power than the factory integrated amps.
