holy crap?! how about a legitimate qustion? i dont think there has been one in years. I still have my "04" which i bought in "03" and i finally got the bug up my arse to do something about the crap sound system. is it possible to run an amp to the stock stereo? Are there rca inputs back there? how do they do it with the factory subwoofer?
i will check back in a year for a response. haha. i hope everyone is doing well.
Purist, i still think you have a tiny pecker.

No RCA jacks...you would to either buy and amp with line level inputs or you could buy an amp with RCA connections and buy something called line level converts that will allow it to connect the amp to the stock radio.

Spend a little time in the "LEARN" section on Crutchfield.com....it has tons of great beginner info!
"Will I have any trouble connecting an amp to my existing system?
Get Everything You Need
No. Amplifiers can be added to almost any car stereo, whether it's factory-installed or a brand-name receiver. An amplifier accepts the signal from a brand-name receiver through its preamp inputs. If you're tapping into a factory system, look for an amp with speaker level inputs. This allows you to tap into your vehicle's existing speaker wiring without special adapters. If you're planning a multi-amp system, preamp outputs simplify the wiring setup."

thanks scoob. i ended up changing out all the stock speaker. spnys in the front and kickers in the rear. i ordered a new stereo and bazooka/amp *' inch for some kick. i will let you guys know how the instal went. im not looking to turn heads but just to finally get some decent sound out of this thing especially over the loud exhaust. some may thing it may be too late to start investing anything into a car with almost 160k on it but i want it to go out with a bang.
fuck, lets get this forum going again. this is embarrassing.
what does everyone think of obama. i think he is a f'n liar. hoax and chains.
