Are you adding an amp for all 5x7 as well as for your sub? Or do you plan on using the factory amp for your 4 5x7 and adding just an amp for your subs?

Is it posible to use the factory amps? ex: Remove the old haedunit wire it to the factory harness, or is the factory headunit line level output before it hits the facorty amps? The Kenwood kvt911dvd head unit is 45w x 4 max / 22w x 4 RMS.

If you're installing all new speakers and a new head unit, you might as well just run new speaker wires directly from the aftermarket head unit to each speaker location, ignoring the factory speaker wires/harnesses/plugs at each location and instead going straight to the aftermarket speakers' positive and negative terminals.  This may sound like a pain but I think it'd end up being a lot easier and sound a lot better in the long run, than mess around with bypassing the amp and getting the correct integration adaptors and stuff like that.

If you're gonna be adding your own aftermarket amp and sub, you can forget about the factory amp and sub as well.  Just run RCAs from the head unit's non-fading preouts to the aftermarket sub amp.  Make sure you don't run them next to the amp's power cable though.
