It's one or the other...Like already has been mentioned, use the RCA leads from the back or your radio and run the RCA cable to the amps RCA leads making sure to match the left channel output of the radio to the left channel input of the amp and then repeat with the right channel....

...in short go buy some Boston acoustics there like 1000$ for a component set nice amp they sound like the theater clarity...very nice run a few sets in the alpha

VERY shortly put: A lot has to do with that Ohm value the speakers are, length & gauge of wire is being used, and what power the speakers are rated to run @ (RMS). All of this needs to be matched up with the output of your head unit for maximum volume & quality of sound out.
