I wouldn't connect an amp to the stock speaker wires through the harness, the speaker wires in the harness aren't exactly made for amps and higher powered speakers. Plus, if you have high quality speaker wire, you'll be defeating the purpose of it by attaching it to factory wires. I have my speaker wires running directly from my amp to each of the speakers.

No headunit actually puts out 200W of full bandwidth power....

Do not cut the factory harness connector off of your car.

You can run speaker wire from the amp to the harness adaptor (the part that goes between your deck and your car) and run it that way.
