Question about Wiring Harness
Okay, so I'm working on installing two 12' Kenwood subs, a 2000w Power Akoustik Amp, an Aftermarket head unit into my 08 Cobalt Sport. So I went to walmart, and picked up the wiring harness that said for ALL GMC 1992+. So I snagged that one, as that was the only one that made any bit of sense. I get back to the house, take of my stock head unit, and the harness doesn't fit. We were gonna rewire the car, but I didn't want to do that.
So I called best buy and they said due to the fact that I have the pioneer upgrade, it has a 250w built in amp to the stock head unit. They said that I'd need a special wiring harness to avoid the system burning out that amp. They told me it'd run about $150.
I'm a bit of a stereo noob, therefore I'm asking you all is this correct or is there another option?
Thanks for all the help.

I used the cheaper harness and I'm very satisfied with it. I don't care about on star and the door chimes annoyed me so i was happy to get rid of those. It was pretty simple to install as well. Though I've probably done about 20 head unit installs over the years so i had a pretty good idea of what I'm doing. Haha
