The only thing you need from the the wiring harness is the signal inputs. Unless you add a line converter you can tap into the power from the OEM harness.
I read Crutchfield's basic amp install guide and they said

You cut each speaker wire from the receiver's harness and reconnect it to a speaker wire coming from the amp. Then, the signal can flow from the amp to the speakers by way of the vehicle's original factory wiring. This technique will work fine in systems with under 75 watts RMS of power per channel — but for more powerful systems it would be better to run new speaker wire directly from the amp to each speaker
Since the 4ch Amp I'm getting is 500w. 300 of that goes to the sub and the doors require 60w per channel. Would it be safe to still use the factory speaker wires?
