Default Amp and subwoofer installation

Am wondering about installing a amp and subwoofer to the factory monsoon radio. Wondering if it may have any inputs on the back like an aftermarket or if I will have to get an aftermarket radio. It has a 6 disc changer factory, so I would still want to be able to use that. Also wondering about tools to get the radio out. Thanks Any help is greatly appreciated.

no inputs on the back....you will need to get a high-low level convertor and catch the speaker wires at the factory amp..if you are looking into the trunk, remove the carpet trunk floor panel and look to the left, under the taillight, its right there...as far as the colors go, i would do a search on that

Im not familiar with the monsoon system, but as far as getting the factory head unit out. You can either take it up to the dealer, or hop on ebay and search there. They make a specific 'key' for pulling the radio.
heres an ebay listing for one i recently purchased.
