Default 8thGen Civic Factory Headunit Question

Hey there guys,
I'm new to these forums as I just got a 8th gen civic about a month back (Australian, VTi) , and is now interested in getting an audio system going. Thinking about amp, sub, and speakers. I won't be getting a headunit because it looks pretty much impossible so I was just wondering -

Will the civic headunit have sufficient power to run the audio system? I was thinking about getting this amp. Alpine MRV-F345


Its specifications are http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Produ...ures_and_specs

(4/3/2 channel power amplifier. 75W RMS x 4 [4Ohms@14.4V 0.08%THD] 300W RMS x 1)
Don't know what this means lol.

Thinking of bridging 2 channels for a sub and the other 2 for the front speakers.

Any help or advice is appreciated and Sorry if I sound a bit noob and this thread is in the wrong place >_<

Thanks!
Chris

i hope you do know in order to wire the amp, you will have to take the factory head unit and be able to get to the outputs on the back of it.

hey thanks for the reply.

Im not too sure how the installation process works so im planning on paying for an installation, i just want to be careful and buy all the parts and then realize I can't even install. So right now im researching on which subs and speakers to get for this amp. Anyone have any ideas?
