Blue is an output signal from the radio that is used to raise/lower the power antenna and/or turn power amp(s) on/off. These (and all other) connection points should be available on the factory radio connector wiring.

P. S. Symptoms described DO NOT indicate a bad alternator. Either the amp is being over-driven, or the circuit (or wiring) from which it is powered, cannot supply enough current. Or you have 1 or more bad speakers
1 The info was on the wire harness packaging I got so I have everything connected properly so far. Question is; for that yellow wire (and the blue one now) where does it connect on the car? It's hard to tell since most of those wires behind there (that I could find) are almost hard to tell the difference from one-another. If I can, I'll get a photo to show you exactly what I'm talking about

2 And as for your PS note, my rear speakers are bad so that could possibly be the victims? And I also changed out my front speakers to ones I had before (newer). Was that a bad move?

3 And lastly how would I be able to tell if the amp is being overdriven (If I'm thinking the same thing as you are, I'm going to assume I do an have 'amp')
