I want to install a sub and amp with my stock non bose head unit and I was wondering if I need anything special to connect the sub to the radio or is it just a plug and play like aftermarket radios? I've been searching but I can't find anything

Look in the audio section and do a search. There's been a lot of topics writteen on this. You'll need the basic wiring schematics so you know what and where to tap into.

Thank you.... I figured it out, by the way the wire colors are completely different for the 2011 model.

And just to add to what Mattv said about the hi-lo converter, make sure you get a PAC SNI-35 or else you'll be sorry. DOn't try to save a few bucks buying a scocshe unit...They're garbage!
