I want to install a aftermarket amp to my factory head unit(98' gs300) can anybody tell me what I need, and what wires I need to connect? and where I will find those wires(color codes, location, etc...)

BananaGS has a wire diagram on his site. I'd check there for wires.

As for getting the signal...you'd need (I think...) either a line driver (pre-amp hookup) or a Line Level Converter (post amp hookup)...

The LLC seems to be the easiest and the most used here...

I'd do a search on LLC or LOC and amp and you'll get a lot of hits. I haven't seen a line driver mentioned much here...the LLC/LOC will amplify an amplified signal (amp's distortion...kind of like having kids with your sister...).
