no, I think he's talking about the GM Factory installed amp that is used when your vehicle gets upgraded to the premium radio. according to the build sheet, my tahoe has one...

On mine, I had to hook up the trucks blue(power ant) wire to +12v to get my rear speakers to work, which I read(somewhere) was not just the power ant(which I don't have, so I initially didn't bother hokking up), it was also the power to the factory amp.

As soon as I applied power to it the rear speakers started to work.

Hope this helps.

You must hook up a power source from your new deck, i reccommend the blue/white stripe one. Hook that up to the pink one on your factory harness. GL
