You might not want to do that. The 760W Pioneer amp might require larger wire due to the power consumption of the amp. Most amplifiers require a direct wire from the battery to the amp. The power wire for the factory amp might not require very large wire and if you tie into the power for that amp the fuse could blow and wiring in your car could melt or catch fire, The best installation is to run the recommended guage wire from the battery directly to the amp with a properly rated in-line fuse.

I'm trying to install a pioneer deh-1100 into a 2002 chevy impala... have all wires connected, amp is on, but deck will not cut on

On pioneers, i know that some of them, you have to twist the yellow AND red wires together on the power from your car. Make sure you are grounded. Radio fuse isnt blown, or any fuse on the back of the deck.

How do you hook up a amp with a factory radio.. a 2002 impala

1- you need to provide a fused power wire from battery to amp
2- provide a ground wire from amp to car body or frame (be sure to clean off paint if connected to body)
3- connect your remote wire to your fuse box (16 to 22 gauge wire will be fine)
4- connect a line output converter which will allow you to use rca jacks (one side connects to the speaker wire in your car and the other to your rca jacks)
5- finish by connecting your speaker wires and rca jacks
if helpful please rate 4 thumbs up.

My 2004 Grand Am GT Stereo Issue

I had the same problem when I changed out the factory cd player. I finally found the problem was that grand am gt cars have a couple of amplifiers with crossovers in them for the speakers and the after market stereos put out sound that has been slightly amplified already and when you hook up your new stereo to the wiring harness your sending amplified sound from your stereo the the factory amp then to the speakers this sometimes messes with he sound and clarity of the sound. My car is 2002 and the factory amps are located 1 under the glove box and 2 in the trunk behind the carpet on the drivers side. The amp and crossover in the front is to split the signal for the door speaker and the tweeter by the mirror and the amp in the trunk is to split the signal for the two way speaker in the back by the back window witch if they are like my factory speakers have 2 wiring harnesses connected to each speaker. the only way I could get mine to sound good was to run new wires from your stereo directly to the speakers and bypass the factory amps. This may not be the only way to fix this issue but it was the only way I could figure it out. I hope this helps

Radio wires differ from the speaker to the radio

This is the most common problem with self installs.The best thing to do is to get the car radio installation plug,it will plug into the factory plug for your factory radio and will give you a color coded pigtail to wire into that usually matches up perfectly with new aftermarket car radios.If the wires are already cut then you best bet is to extend the wires so that they are easy to work with hookup the power,ground,antenna and try dirrerent combos to isolate each speaker and label the wires accordingly.
