Default Specific wiring question?

now that I have RCA outputs off the back of my radio. I can easily install an amp going direct from my radio to the amp with RCA’s. How do I tie the speaker output of the amp to the speakers? Is there a connector I need to buy so that I unplugged the speaker before the pods and can just plug right into there? Or should I just pop a little hole in the back or bottom of the pod and run fresh speaker wires right to the speaker? I guess I could also just cut the wires in the jumper Wiring to interrupt the signal out to the speakers, cap them off, coming out of the radio, and use the amp wiring to the output side. I tend not to like to cut up the actual bike wiring, but if it’s an Easily replaceable jumper that I don’t care about hacking it up

Capping them off wouldn't be a bad idea to prevent moisture and corrosion, you might check at an auto parts store or Ace Hardware, and see if you con't find some small rubber caps to put over them. Something like this. https://www.autozone.com/searchresul...=vacuum%20caps
