So I am looking to put a system into this truck, which i have heard is a little difficult. Anyways, I have all of my stuff picked out, but what kind of things other than head unit, amp, subs, dashkit and antenna kit will i need? What is the easiest most inexpensive way to do a bypass on the stock amp? are there any other problems i need to know about before ordering my audio parts?

Tear the whole Mother F$$#N dash apart to get to the amp which is behind the glovebox. lol
Seriously though it is a giant pain to get to the infinity amp to bypass it. Lots of removal/screws and then the wires are very hard to get to.
Make sure you get a custom box for the back, otherwise there is like no room. Did a full system in the same year truck and it sounded amazing with a single 250W RMS sub in a sealed box. Amp under each seat.

DId one of these like a year ago, and had to bypass the amp. We just ran wire into each door.

Depends who you are really. To us that was the most effective way in the best interests of time. For you it may be easier/quicker to bypass the amp at the amp itself.

Well if i was to bypass the amp at the amp itself, how do you do that? because that sounds like the easiest way, just trying to think.

is this a quad cab or reg cab? i have an 03 reg cab and I just bypassed the amp by running new wire from the after market amp to the intended speaker locations ,why waste time ripping the over complicated dash apart.

yeah, that is a good point, didnt realize that. Its a quad cab. do you have to have a special type amp for this? or is it something standard on all amps. Only reason i ask is because i want to make sure i get the right amp.

No I dont have a special amp ,You do have a few moreoptions than me but Ill tell you my amp locations and how everytihng is wired up .First my amp that powers my front speakers is located under the pass side seat this provides the power to the speakers in my kick panels and in the doors.They are very simply wired .The amp is powered up like normal,and all wiring is ran directly to the speakers   very easy .Think simpler you sound like me over thinking things.just run rcas to your new amp and run wiring directly to those speakers that you want to power.simple!!!
