All your speaker wires are running to the factory amp and you must power that up to get any sound unless you use the amp bypass harness.

To power up the amp you will need to connect the remote wire just like any aftermarket amp. The wire to do that is the #15 / Factory AMP Power control wire Lt.Blue with silver stripe on the second connector. If you do not wand to cut it the use a T-tap connector. If you ever go back to stock you can just pull the T-tap off and tape the small part of the wire that the sheathing was tapped through.
