just don't hook your stock speakers up to the amp and let it run from the headunit, easy. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

u dont wana add an amp to ur stock speakers. theyll blow eventually if not quickly

Over time even an upgraded head unit can blow stock speakers. Be careful.

yea but even if i dont hook up my my speakers to the amp i cant turn my deck up all the way or the factory speakers will blow...and that means my subs wont get as loud as they can bc i cant turn it up loud

You have subs?

Then yes, running speakers off your head unit generally isn't a good idea unless all you want to hear is your subs. Your stock speakers won't be able to keep up. You'd have to turn down your subs to work with your stock speakers. If I were in your situation I would have done it the other way, gotten an amp for my speakers and bought some speakers with some bass Audiobahn ACX's or something. This would have given you some lows and still have better sound quality than a stock speaker/sub combo.
