You can't connect to any spkr wire. The amp needs to see 12 volts for the duration that the radio is on. The problem is that the factory amp doesn't seem to have a remote connection. The best alternative is to connect to the pink/white in the ignition harness which will power the amp as long as your key is on. The only problem is that if you don't turn the radio on, then you will get a loud hum through your subs. As long as the radio is on, then it should be fine.
