a stock deck you mean? you can get this speaker to RCA convertor for your car. it wires up to the rear speakers and converts it to an RCA signal. you can get it from wal-mart for 20$....not the best way though...kinda ghetto if you ask me.

Line level adaptor. Or buy an amp with high level inputs. That way the factory deck can be plugged directly into the amplifier.

From what your basic knowledge level of this sort of install seems to be, I would recommend you let a local, reputable shop do this for you. You may later regret doing it yourself.

That will tell you how to hook up an amp, not install an amp. There is a big difference. I could teach a monkey to hook up an amp. Obviously, some people never learn to install amps. Just have a browse through SD member pages. Thats proof enough.
