I am gona be selling my explorer, so im swapping everything out and putting a basic system in with tidbits i have/ordered. I have an 05 model pioneer deck with i believe only one input. not exactly sure what model it is because its in our brok'd down mustang and my girlfriends house, but i believe it only has one/two inputs, and no subwoofer input.

anyways, im taking out everything except the speakers, which i will switch to run off the headunit. Im also putting some kicker subs in there, but i dont know how to wire it up to the headunit. Do i just use that input and make sure i have a high pass filter set or what?

it should have a sub output, most all do or they will have rear and sub. so just use the sub rcas, and the remote.

hmm i dont think so, but i'll check. I know from the audio settings in the deck that there is NOT a subwoofer level option, meaning that any bass is controlled mutually between the subs and speakers.

Lower end deck usually don't have sub outs. Some only have front outs. You can run the single set of outputs to a crossover and from there use the different outputs for different amps. You can get a basic crossover that will do what you need for around $30 off eBay.
