If it has the premium audio system with the factory amplifier you should have a wiring harness that has RCA inputs on it that will attach to the pre out on the head unit this is the feed the factory amplifier that intern feeds the speakers you can't wire from straight head unit to the speakers without bypassing the amplifier

Oh ok , y Honda have to make things difficult, errrr, ill order this today and hope it clears up my issue.. Thanks..
Is their anyway I can eliminate the stock amp out of the car?.. A simple radio swap is turning into a huge project..

You would have to either find an adapter that will brodge the amps wiring harnesses together or sploce them manually. I don't recommend bypassing the amp though unless you change all the speakers. In which case your better served running new speaker wire instead of using the factory wiring.

I just ordered a new head unit from Crutchfield and they sent me the regular harness. Thankfully I saw this thread and looked for the harness for the amp. For some reason Crutchfield does not give the option of the premium sound.

If anyone else runs into this the part is the Metra 70-1730.
