Putting a RF system in a non RF RalliArt?

I'm trying to see if it's possible to put a Rockford system with the factory Amp and sub into a car with the basic radio and speakers. I already have a six disc rf radio I'm going to buy. All I need really now is the amp and 10" sub. I know for a fact that the sub is pre wired. I looked under the drivers seat and didn't see any wires for the Amp. What do I have to do to make this work. I'm doing this becuase I need more trunk space so the 2 12s gotta go.

it seems to be quite a b*tch to do, from what i've seen, since i've been looking into this as well. im thinking i'll just skip it for now and keep enjoying the sound of the "beast within" for awhile longer . i've actually got a stock sub/box i'm looking to sell if you're unable to find one elsewhere, lemme know

I was looking into this as well and from what I've been told its a no go. But if you look in the trunk there is a plug for sub but wire doesn't go anywhere. Let me know if you come up with something.

hate to burst the bubble, but it looks like if you want to integrate everything with factory plug and play parts, it's gonna take a new floor harness which looks to be about 900 bucks just for the part. then you gotta rip the whole interior apart and rewire everything. probably just be better off running an aftermarket amp setup and hard-wiring it to the fosgate sub if you want to use it with the factory sub/box in the trunk

When I installed my springs, I noticed a wiring harness where the stock RF sub would sit. It was behind the carpet panel.
