that link does not work. But you can add a sub and amp to a stock radio by either getting an amp that has speaker level inputs, or by purchasing a Line Output Convertor. You will have to tap off the rear speakers to accomplish this task. Very easy to do, just takes a little work. You will still need power, ground and remote turn on for the amp to work.

to answer your first question......what hillbillyinOhio said above^^^ is correct[sm=exactly.gif], and to answer your second question.....it depends on whether or not you want to spend the extra $100 or morefor an aftermarket radioright now...if you got the moneyand you want to spend it right now then go ahead and getone, but ifnot, you can just hook it up like it was mentionedaboveand get the aftermarket radio later, thats what i did and im happy with the result

I personally think it is better to tap into the front door speakers because they get the most bass signal. Or so I have been told...

you'll need to tap both, b/cof theuseofthe balancecontrol, for example, if you tap into the left andbalance it to the right, you lose bass. Balancing to the left will cause too much bass and not enough treble.

saw the link, i could probably get you a better quality setup for about the same price, if you are interested. Any bass that you can add to a factory system will be a big improvement.

that will not work, unless you wire it up inline with battery in the front and alt. gng to have to break down and ge the amp install kit. there is a grommet on pass side firewall, you can run power wire though there. for the ground, underneath drivers rear seat.
