Connect an amplifier

I have read many posts and cannot find a good answer. i am installing a headunit and 4 channel amp to push the factory (bose) speakers in my 2002 TL.

Where do i connect the speaker wires FROM the amp? And what is the best way to do this?

Should i cut the wires or just remove the one wire harness from the amp and crimp onto the speaker wires? I would like to make it so i can put the system in its original state if i need to sell the car.

pics so far:

You will blow the the Bose speakers using an amp (or it will sound really crapy). Just do yourself a favor and buy new speakers & run new wires for them leaving all the old wires intact.

You can try it both ways, but those speakers are just a bottleneck IMHO.

Definately a bottleneck, get new speakers if you're gettin a new amp.
