No, even if you just do a speaker swap you won’t be able to directly connect to the aftermarket speaker with the factory connector. You will need a harness adapter which retains the factory connector and allows you to connect to the aftermarket speaker terminals. Your factory radio is the amp so technically you don’t need to buy and extra amp unless you want more power

I tried doing the “tee” connectors but had a hard time finding the correct polarity. So I changed route and found this eBay item #142664889748. What a life saver. It’s already wired up with a hi lo converter so all you have to do snap it in place. I have stock Nav deck in my 2017. FYI you will get the full audio spectrum from the deck, out of the hi lo converter so you can run a single pair rca cable to your amps and feed mid/hi amp and sub amp from the same signal (assuming your amps have crossovers in place) I also did door speakers with the Sundown Neo pro 6.5’s and silk dome tweeters on dash. I used foam rings for damping the sound in door. I used metra speaker adapter rings. All bolted up nicely.

im in the process of adding aftermarket amps? did you have success id adding the hi lo converter?
