But it is strange that that the jvc could be connected through amp or not but the stock unit can not.

There are some additional wires in the connector with speaker wires that attaches to amp. I assume they are power supply to the amp??? And should just be left disconnected from it should I decide to cut speaker wires???....
Agree on strange. Normally you would have "line-out" levels from HU to feed amp rather than using "speaker-out" levels which are intended to drive spkrs.

Connector that goes to OEM amp is 14 pin, with 8 allocated to spkrs and 3 not used. The other 3 are; Enable cd (W)/ground (bk/y) and power (o/y).
