Hi again,
How is possible to connect and activate an amplifier from the factory unit?

Im assuming the factory headunits don't have pre-outs, so you would have to get a LOC (line out converter) installed to run into your amp, and away you go from there

hey man sorry for the so long reply but here i go.

you need amplifier cable
speaker cable (if running a amp for the speakers)
1 mono block or normal amplifier.
2x line to rca adapters in running it only for speakers.

okay first things first
- need to cut the speaker wires from behind the head unit.
- i think its the brown block that are the speakers.
- now you need to cut the wires but have a solder ready to
- now the wires that are going into the head unit that you have cut, need to be ran back using the speaker cable that you have purchased (if running a normal amplifier) then that will make sure that when you turn up your volume the volume does go up, now the next step is, with the other wires you have cut u need to attach them to the line to rca adapter and ran rca cable back to the amp. make sure you run speakers wire/rca on one side of the car.
- next step is running power down to the amp, and you always use the red cable this is the easiest step. but make sure u have grounded the amp before connecting power.
- last but not least take a single speaker wire up and hook it up to either your 12v or your cigarette lighter cable that is behind the dash so that each time you turn on the car the amps turns on.

that should be it if you need anything else answered pm me
cheers

Thank you  my friend!!!!
How come and I didn't think before to use the cigarette lighter? THANK YOU!!!!!
I think that is not a problem to take signal from the rear right speaker ( I don't want to unscrew the head unit..) am I right??

yeah, you can run a monoblock amp off the rear speaker of the car as I am running a JL sub and amp off the rear speaker. I thought that when you were talking about an amp off the headunit, I thought you were going to amplify the stock speakers.  :P but yeah, you can take a signal from one of the rear speakers if you are running a sub.

I wouldn't use the cigarette lighter supply as it probably won't have enough power availible (If your amp fuse is bigger than the lighter fuse you will have problems). And as for the Line to rca converters I used an Audiocontrol LC6i which is a powered version actually senses the signal from your stereo and turns on all you amps. You can run power straight from the battery down the left side of the car through the guard, kickpanel insid and under the scuff panels. Just a few ideas that worked for me.
