You will need remote power perferably from the power antenna out from the radio in the dash, if not you will need to hook it up to ACC or better put a switch (relayed and fused ofcourse).

And you can use the stock speaker outs for audio.

i used a req insted of a loc and got back my bass most stock head units stop adding bass once u turn it up so far. the req really cleaned up the music and improved sq in my truck

jus finished installing my amp and sub to the factory unit w/ the speaker level inputs. sounds pretty good for now. not as sloppy as i thought it would. the sub over powers my front stock speakers a lil bit, but fixed wit a few adjustments. now im jus waiting until i have enough saved to get my double din, replacement speakers, and an amp for them

I always recommend using a LOC... better signal.

Most onboard high level inputs on amps **** balls.
