I'm trying to wire in an 850 watt boss amp with a kicker sub. It will need the RCA hookups (red and white) I want to keep my stock radio though, could someone tell me what I need, and the easiest/cheapest way to do it? Thanks!

Also, I have alot of experience wiring aftermarket radios, I've never really messed with stock ones though.

Ok that makes sense, thanks a bunch! Just one more question if you don't mind what would you recommend for the 12v power wire?

its only pulling 25 amps.. u can run 8 gauge.. that amps not putting out 850 watts tho, more like 250 i know what it say . but most other amp draw like 80 amps if it a 800 watt amp. i would run 4 cause u might end up getting a bigger amp.

if you haven't bought or installed the amp, IMHO, get a better amp...you'll thank us later.
