if you are going to run the amp replace the speakers. you will blow the factory speakers and aftermarket speakers will handle the power

sure you can. you'll blow all of your speakers, but you can do it.
420 watts for regular speakers, not subs, is a lot of power. there are 4 speakers in a Grand Am. so i'm going to assume your amp is a 4 channel. you'd be throwing 105 watts to each speaker. i dont know of a aftermarket 4x6 (fronts) that can handle 105 watts rms, much less of any stock speaker. the rear 6x9s can be run with 105 watts, but thats a good aftermarket 6x9, not a paper cone from the factory.
get new speakers, and buy a smaller amp. 200x4 will be plenty.
good luck

Stock speakers cannot handle much more than 17 watts RMS. If the amp is more than this, you will blow the speakers.

not without LOC (Line-point Converter) to alter the speaker twine sign to a low-point RCA sign. Oh, and the RCA isn't for a production facility radio, this is for aftermarket. you have it backwards. in case you advise the amp has a intense point enter then confident, you are able to faucet off of the speaker wires.
