You will likely want to bypass the factory amps.  It is fairly easy these 
days to buy a head unit with plenty of power.  Otherwise you would need an 
adapter that would reduce the outputs of your new radio down to preamp level. 
 When I bought a new head unit from Crutchfield they advised bypassing the 
amps and gave me a wiring harness to do that.  Otherwise they would have sold 
me a $50 adapter to work with the factory amp.
