That all depends on how much power you will be using. Your best bet would be to use the factory wiring if you are not running alot of power. but if you do have to replace the wire's tape your replacement wire to myour stock and pull it through.
good luck

If you have an aftermarket head unit and all new speakers, ,you can not use the factory wiring. It is possible to use it but you are better off running all new wiring from the head unit to the speakers or if you plan on getting an aftermarket amp for the mids/highs you still can't use the factory wiring. So while the panels are off to run the new wires you might as well yank out the stock mess. Its not difficult, just start tracing it all down starting from the stock amplifier behind the spare tire acces panel. Have fun!
