I want to run an amp with 1 possibly two 12's in the trunk in a false floor. hooking these togethor i think i can figure out. but is there a way i can run them off the stock deck (dont need to sound the best) untill i get a new deck with rca out etc..

Get a line out converter, splice into your factory speaker wires and run RCA's from the converter to your amp.

And yes, the speakers up front are 5 1/4".

All you're doing is splicing in, so the speakers will still work...

I would really suggest you replace the factory head unit first. Its the most important thing. The signal strenth going to you amp from your factory head unit will be really weak. You get an aftermarket headunit with 4 or more volt pre-outs it will make your subs sould ALOT cleaner and hit harder. Your front and rear speakers will also sound alot better and play louder with an aftermarket headunit.
Wait for the subs, get a headunit first

Yeah, definitely get a new head unit. Just get a low end panasonic or kenwood. You rca voltage is going to suck if you use a converter. Trust me.
