Does anyone know if I can hook up a amp to my factory radio? Since the factory head unit has no rca jacks to run to the amp, i dont think it can be done. Anyone know for sure??

You can purchase line level convertors that you hook up to the speaker leads from the HU and they have a set of RCA cables as output with low level signal for an amp. Here's a link to one I Googled:

LLC

They actually work pretty well.

Yep, that's the way to do it. Any car audio shop should have them, including the big box stores like Best Buy or Circuit City.

Some AMPS will accept inputs direct from the H/U speaker outputs. I am starting there with my upcoming install. If it sounds like crap gonna go with a JL Cleansweep.

you can purchase line out converter from best buy for about 25 bucks. you will be able to run one amp off it. you can run two of them off the stock head unit if you wanted to. i use to run my stereo that way till i bought a aftermarket head unit.
