To add a amp and sub to your factory radio, you can use a LOC (line output converter) to tap into the speaker wires and turn it into rca outputs, then do the the amp install as normal.As far as a radio goes there are dash kits that are made to fit flush w/ the factory look to house a normal single DIN radio, you can pick em up at most places that sell aftermarket equipment.

so the LOC has 4 speaker wires and other end has RCA?

so it goes

HU----[4 speaker wires]------[LOC]----[RCA]---[AMP]

so would i have to tie my door speakers into the amp?

i guess what im asking is if im using the 4 HU speaker wires then how do the speakers get connection?

You don't have to disconnect the speakers at all- just tap into the speaker wires to connect your loc.
