You mean like hook the RCAs and remote wire to the back of the head unit while you have it out?

Thats what I did and it was fine.

Yeah it will work

Did your head unit come with tools that allow you to just pull the head unit out from the front? If so it will be easy to get back there from now on

Do you plan on powering your speakers with an amp or just your sub?

If just sub then you need set of RCA cables and a remote turn on lead

Ok so you have one amp and plan on powering your sub with the amp?

Ok then just run one set of RCAs and the remote wire, and yes you can use your stock speakers

RCA's to the amp?

Then the sub connects to the amp?

What do i want in a sub? 2 ohms or 4 ohms?

I dont even know what ohms are. ha
