I know its possible because i did it in my f150 2yrs ago. I know there is a small module you need to wire in so you can hook up the rca outlets. Anyone have a diagram for that or know off the top of your head what that module ties in to? I know how to get the factory head unit out but i'm also wondering if i'll need to unhook anything or if i can just pull it out enough to install the module. I assume the 07s remove the same as the 05s? Thanks guys

I don't know why you need to use the RCA's. With a sub and a dedicated amp, especially one that will be in the trunk will not sound noticably different whether you use the line level or speaker level inputs. I ran my amp off of the rear speakers at the speaker level inputs and put the gain control in the center console. Even with this setup I can't put the gain control beyond halfway or the bass is just too overbearing.

OK, this is going to be kinda long. First you need to get a line level adapter that will take the signal from the speaker wires and change it to female RCAs. This one from crutchfield will work fine because you have the ability to adjust the gains.

You want to connect that as close to your head unit as possible to lessen your chance of engine noise and to get the best source of the signal as possible. I will also suggest that you use a 4 0r 5 channel amp so you can use the fader on your head unit (I have a 5 channel with a class d mono amp for my sub).
Next you need to run your RCA cables and power wire for you amp on opposite sides of the car (usually power down the drivers side and RCAs down the passenger side). You will also need to run 4 pairs of speaker wires and a remote wire from your trunk back up to your dash to connect to your stock speaker wires that you cut (run these on the same side as the RCA cables). The rest is pretty much self explanatory if you know anything about stereos. The hardest part was figuring out which wire you connect the remote power on for the amp to. I connected mine to the ignition switch so that the amp stays on with the stereo until yoyu open the door. That was a pain trying to figure out which one was the right one. I wish I remembered the color. Here's some pics of my finished install.


Check out the end caps of the amp that hide any trace of wiring.

I spent about 8 hours by myself doing this on a saturday (taking my time). I used to do custom installs for a local stereo shop when I was younger, so it may take you just as long. I would suggest having a professional do it and pay for piece of mind.

Oh yeah, I did all the custom paint work too. Just ordered paint from an online supplier, disassembled the amp, bought a speaker grille, and painted them.

I hope this helps somewhat.

Almost forgot. Before buttoning everything up, set your gains on your amp at 1/4 and adjust your gains on your line level adapter to the clearest setting with the volume of your stereo about 3/4 of the way up. After that you will not need to adjust the line level adapter ever again. You can just use the gain controls on the amp.
I love my set up because when you look into the dash of my car you see the stock head unit, but when I turn it on it will definately make your ears ring. I am running Diamond D3 series speakers in the doors and rear deck. Definately worth the money.
Here's my dash.
