    (its soposed to be spliced into the harness in the rear of the head unit.)I already said this.
    It must be spliced in after the headunit but before the factory amp.or it will not work,as they cancel each other out for some reason.Only when the car is running.Its not engine noise.It strait out turns off.The factory systems amp is not in the headunit its under the dash.
    So the correct wires are there he just has to find out which ones they are..(meaning rear,right,and left)and it has to be inbetween the headunit and factory amp.He didnt hook it up that way i dont believe. I know were its suposed to be hooked up, and tried all of which i told him to do on my grand prix gt. Plus the converters i used were 20+$ and in the grand prix gt of mine and obviously his too it wouldnt work.Hooked up either way.Because of the factory amp. So i took mine back bought a headunit and rca's.But if he dont have the money for that i was just telling him what to try. which was hooking it up straight out of the head unit.Besides that there are wires in the back to splice into,and it will Not work that way. If your meaning amplified speakers as being amplified by the head unit only that is not the same as having it coming from the factory amp .Maybe im not explaining myself verywell i dont know......
