it’s been so long the link provided no longer works. I’m also attempting to replace amp/sub but retain stock speakers & head unit. Any & all details would be much appreciated. Also my center speaker (dash) sounds distorted (blown) I’ve researched on gluing it as a repair but any suggestions with a replacement? I’m capable of running wires, installing fuse, etc. whatever need be but I really hate the task & time is limited for me these days.

Upgrade is done for now and I will pause a while. There is absolutely no physically visible sign of an upgrade. No wires, no subs, controllers nothing; everything is put away next to NAV in the rear (see photo prior to beginning project and one when I was close to done). The only down side is everything needs to be preadjusted but I don't expect to change settings until and if I replace door speakers.
In the meantime, I will listen to the new level of audio, appreciate/critique quality of sound from OEM speakers and decide if I should upgrade door speakers. I don't really need more base but for those of you who cannot live without extreme base, you should just get an amp and initially drive OEM subwoofer to establish its capacity and durability. 10" subs are readily available.
I've taken loads of pictures but need to sequence them properly, add a little narrative prior to publishing them on my web site; give me a few days.

I understand it's been a long time, but could you advise where you got the Input for the external amplifier, when the input from the main unit is optically driven?
Alternatively, how is the external amplifier connected? thank you very much for any answer
