Removing Dash and Hooking up Sub

Hey,i bought a sub today and an amp is in the mail.

My questions are how do we remove the dash in this car to get behind my stock HU (05 base, no premium radio)??

Second, where exactly do we tap into for the sun wire?

Anyone have a thread with pics and instructions? Did a search and did not see anything.

metraonline.com go there, search for the car click on the dash kit and there will be a link to instructions to take the dash apart.
the amp wiring you can tap off the rear speakers. make sure the + to + the - to - one set to each side.

Look... you are way too young and way too inexperienced to be attempting something like this. ...hahaha had to mess with you a bit ....taking apart the dash is no big deal. By "sun" wire I am assuming you mean, sub, and by that maybe the amplifier turn on lead????? If thats the case you want something which will be on while the radio is on and off when it's off.....since it's the base radio I don't know if it has a amplifier turn on output, so maybe to the ACC? What kind of sub/box/amp are you getting?

Very funny. I have a Kicker 10" L5 sub and a Hifonics BXi 608 amp.
