Default Installing an amp and subs to factory stereo?

I have installed head units and amp/subs before, but never into a factory stereo. Is this worth the trouble, and if so how would I go about doing so?

You have to cut into your rear speaker wires, but the stock radio is horrible, you will hear a lot better quality with an aftermarket stereo

i really dont think it would be worth the trouble. you can go to wal-mart and pick up a nice deck for you car for 70$.

thanks to both of you for the replies, and they are both not what i wanted to hear!i was hoping to get out of this without having to buy a new head unit, i already have the amp and subs. not to mention i have to buy a dash kit too! serves me right for thinking i could take the cheap way out! thanks again!

I could not find a dash kit at walmart for my year or even car.
I had to buy another deck too. If you buy the wiring adapter(I didnt, got the wrong one,did not read the back it just said honda)its a simple switch. Otherwise you have to get a wiring diagram and then cut and splice all the wires.
