Someone else might chime in on this one, but doesn't our stock amp have RCA inputs?

Let's discuss in May. There are a couple of places that can repaint all that.

Search for 4 channel amp, there is a thread explaining how to separate the front and rear channels. Basically you just have to run wires from your pre outs on the new head unit to the amp. Very easy if you have done any stereo installs in the past. All diagrams and info you will need is on the forums. You will have to make sure your pre outs are 4v+ if you really want to turn up the volume. My alpine only has 2v and I wish it would go just a little louder but it is still acceptable after playing with crossover settings and such.
