1. There are harnesses available to install and radio using either methond (keep factory amp or don't) and I also believe there are harnesses to adapt the cars factory wiring harnesses to the new speakers at the doors, so no cutting needed there, but you will still need to make the new speakers fit.

2. When I installed my radio I used the rca method to keep the factory amp, mainly because it's easier than digging around finding the stock amp and disconnecting it's harness to bypass it. Either way is fine. I chose the easier route and even though it's the factory amp after I had the new radio in it was giving the stock speakers a lot more power and it was also a lot cleaner sounding.

3. I'll leave 3 and 4 to someone else, I used the stockers and they sounded great for me.

5. Sounds like you already have the subs installed? All you'd have to do is run the rca cables up to your new deck.
