i have a alright blaupunkt head unti im gonna put in until i get my kenwood shit in. i want to know what all i need to do to install it and how it will sound going trough the stock amp.

Your blaupunkt will sound ok going through the stock amp. I just put a clarion in my car and it is ok. It will be much louder volume because you will be giving a much higher signal to the factory amp. All you need to install it is a wiring harness kit that you can get at walmart for cars with factory amplifiers. Its pretty simple.

thanks alot, do i need to crack open my dash or anything or is it pretty easy just to take out and put in?

You don't need to crack open your dash. Just get the special ford tool from walmart for like 5 bucks. (Two little U-shaped tools) Chances are, your head unit has more watts then the amp. If you run it through the amp you can only get 20 watts per channel, and thats max! Your much better off re-wiring you whole car. I may take longer but the results will be worth it. I did that because my Alpine head unit was getting 65 watts per channel, and if i used the harness kit to run it through the amp I'd only be getting 20 watts per channel. Also, you can then sell the amp on eBay and get some cash.
