I wanna put in an amp and a pair of tens in my car, can i do that with the stock stereo or do i need to buy a new deck? Also can I use the stock speakers with it? I don't wanna take out the stock stereo because it kinda keeps thiefs from breaking in, anyhow im open to all suggestions, thanks.

If you don't want to get a new HU, you can use speaker level inputs... this converts speaker wires into RCA, sorta. Some amplifiers come with speaker level inputs, so ask around at your local shops if the amp you want has this feature.
As for the accessory wire(blue), some people run it to the stereo fuse in the fuse box... I wouldn't try this myself, but I've seen it done. Some guys wire it to the HU's red wire... Is your stock HU a CD player?
Yeah massive pretty much said it all. One draw back to speaker level inputs is suposedly they will distort a little more. Don't know if it's significant or not. One thing you could do about the remote wire is run a 12v wire off the battery or fuse box with a constant power supply and hook a switch to it. Only problem is you'll have to switch it every time you want your subs and you might forget and leave your amp on. There might be a wire coming out of the back of your stock stereo that tells the power antena to kick on and you could use that for the remote, but I don't know.
Why don't you people ever mention Line Output Convertors? They are muche asier than high level lines run all the way back to the amps and all....Just get a 20 buck LOC from any stereo shop, and that gives you your RCA lines that you need.

Is that a high impedence box? It can be installed from the rear speakers, and will not be very long... it'll be able to run all the way back to the amp... and it does come with rca cables at the end.
I had a Pyramid one that costed 10 bucks. There wasn't much noise in the system. I did try a Jensen one also... this one totally sucked! It was hard to adjust left/right balance, and it added alternator whine... oh yeah, and it costed more than the Pyramid one.
There are plenty of them available. It can be wired from the rear speakers back to the amp, or from behind the deck back to the amp either way. Noise is always a possibility when you add amps to a factory deck, but run everything right, and it's less likely to happen.

You should at least get a 50 watt or so amp for your front speakers too, someday! The stock HU doesn't have much power, and the front channel is running a lot of speakers. That way you can run them a little louder with a little less distortion... just don't overdo it with the gains and don't even touch the bass boost! The stock tweeters sounded better when I used to run it and the stock 6.5's off a 35 watt amp. I later needed to upgrade, and it seems like upgrading never ends!
