Factory Amp bypass?

Factory Amp bypass?
Is it possible to bypass the factory amp in my '97 with Premium sound without having to run new wires?
The reason i am asking is, I got a CD6/mp3 unit coming out of an '07 Ranger.....i am almost certain that it has a better amp built into the CD6 than the factory amp does in my truck.......
could i just unplug the plugs on both sides of the amp and attach them together and just jump the amp? or is it more involved?
