if you amp has speaker level inputs it should work with the factory head unit, however I would invest in an after-market head unit. I really like alpine and would suggest it to anyone.

You can run it off factory, but it will sound better with an aftermarket head unit with sub controls/outs.

There's a place I know about, where the dirt road runs out, and we can try out the 4 wheel drive..come on now, what do you say?
I've got the perfect place in mind, it's in the middle of nowhere, only one way to get there, you got to get a little mud on the tires.
