*factory head unit.
If your amp doesn't have speaker level inputs, you'll need a line level converter.

Adding amplifiers to the factory system, you will need to use a LOC (line output convertor) or have an amplifier that has high level inputs.
An LOC is installed like a speaker. It then outputs RCAs for your amps. The sound must be full range to work correctly.
High level just needs a full range or high pass input, and it converts the signal inside. No need to run RCAs since the high level input is directly in the amp.
http://www.davidnavone.com makes the best LOCs.
And an AMP kit. If ya want to go cheap, get one from wal-mart......

If you can't understand any of that, you need to just take your car to a shop. Nobody here can give you the price some place is going to charge you, unless someone here happens to work at a shop. Just take it to Quality Auto Sound or something like that and be done with it.

ok, this is my suggestion to you.. since you say you know how to install it all but the stock radio part.. then install everything,, SUBS, AMPS, run all your power wires and RCA's .. basically have it all in there so you can just take it to a shop and have them ONLY install the LOC for you and they shouldnt charge you to much to do it.. OR,, you could do all that, then go down to the shop and play it cool.. Tell them what your wanting to do and they will guide you in the right direction and maybe even give you some advice and tips on how you can do it yourself.
