No. If you have the regular amp then you can connect the Z1 (or any aftermarket radio) directly to it. Just get an aftermarke radio harness. If you have the DSP amp, like I do, then you have to disconnect the speaker wires from it and connect them directly to the Z1.

For now I have directly connected my Z1 to the factory speakers by running speaker wire from the Z1 to the speaker wires that were connected to my DSP amp. Next year I plan to upgrade this setup and connect my Z1 to an amp and then the amp to the speaker wires.

See the 2nd post in this thread for a picture of my wire taps.
