Default Factory Pioneer amp Question

I took the amp for my highs out of my car (the main amp that is under the CD changer)and now I can not find it, so Im thinking it got pitched. I replaced all my factory speakers, but now they will not play since the amp is gone. Can I use the factory wiring harness with an aftermarket amp, or do I need to locate another factory amp? I would like to use the factory amp wiring harness because I would prefer not to rewire the whole car.
Thank you
Scott

btw, It is a pioneer factory system, not the nak

you can find every speaker wire located on the wire harness for the factory amp, finding the signal wires from the radio on that same harness will be a bit of a challange, maby someone has a diagram or color codes. or maby its just better to change the radio and run a 4ch amp , get all of the speaker wires from that harnesss where the factory amp was and run it to the new amp.

Thanks
I just pulled my cd player, along with both amps.
Didn't know what to do, I just knew I didn't want them.
Suddenly I have a tail-light out, also. Coincidence?
Lighting doesn't run thru that harness in any way, does it?

1 tailight or on a certain side or completely the rear lights? lights should have nothing to do with that, check the pk lamp fuse first, i know the dimmer is in the radio harness, but never seen tailights run through radio harnesses ever in my life.

I changed the head unit already too, forgot to mention that.
