This has been covered many times but maybe i'll try to help you out.
First of all you will need a line output converter since the stock head unit does not have any pre-out puts for the rca's. The line out converter connects to two speaker lines that come from the head unit. People usually hook it up to the two rear speaker cables. This uses the signal from the headunit and converts it so you can use that signal using rca wires for your amp.
The next thing you need to do is to run a power wire from your +ve battery to the back of your trunk or where ever you will be installing the amplifier. This might be a bit more challenging getting the power wire from the engine back to the back but its possible. Once that is done you will need to hook up a ground cable for your amp which is pretty easy. Just attach it to any part of the chassis and make sure to scrap any paint off. Also make sure you use the same gauge wiring for the ground as you did for your power.
So far this has your, rca's, +ve power, -ve ground covered and all you need is a remote wire. Since you are just using your stock head unit it would be easier to run a remote wire from a fuse underneath the driver side dash rather than taking apart your dash. You would want to look for a accessory fuse so the amp will turn on when you have your key in either the acc. or on. position. Search and you will find which fuse to use, or use a handy +12v test light and find a fuse for your self.
Once your amp is hooked up, connect it to your subs. Properly adjust the gains and your set.
p.s now that i some what helped you. Please do me a favour and DO NOT blast your subs are like mid night while in a residential area. Your whole block will hate you and your system will probably get stolen quickly.
