The only reason you would leave the stock amp is if your new radio has low power and it probably doesn't. You will ned to remove the amp and get an "amp bypass" wiring harness. Install the bypass harness and your radio will come alive.

Take out the stock amp and that portion of the harness and plug your adapter into the harness that was plugged into the amp. The plugs are the same.
