Default Need help with wiring

K 1st off Im new to this board so be easy on me

I have searched for this type of question and really didnt get what I was looking for. Alrighty here is my situation---(my main goal is to not have to run new wires for my speakers) My head unit is aftermarket(kenwood kdc-x879) I am changing my door speakers and rear sail panel speakers with JL audio xr series) Now i Know if I use the stock amp it will go into a 2 ohm load. Now if I completely bypass the monsoon amp will I need a metra 70-2001 32 pin harness? Now do I connect my speaker wires from my amp (jl audio 300/4) to the metra harness? Also if I connect the stock wires to the speakers will it be in a 4 ohm load ? Or do I need to run all new wires? Sorry if these are dumb questions, But you gotta learn somehow Thanks in advance

unplug the harness from the amp and tap all your speaker wires in there, thats how i installed my 4 channel amp. heres a link that will tell you what color the speaker wires are.
