2008 Mitsubishi Lancer stereo help needed

I have a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS with the Rockford Fosgate sound system. I also have an aftermarket amp and two subs that I want to install in my lancer from my old car. Just a couple of questions that I hope someone can help me out with. One, to hook up my subs, and the amp that is with them, will i have to remove the head unit and replace it with another stereo or will the amp hook up to the rockford fosgate head unit? And if the amp will hook up to the head unit that is there, will all of my speakers still work? I really want to get this in soon but i need some help. Any suggestions and comments are appreciated. Thanks

There's a thread around here addressing this issue but it should work. You preferrably want a 5 channel amp, something like the Alpine PDX-5 with 4 channels and the 5th as mono for your RF sub.

Does the stock rockford fosgate stereo have rca ports on the back for plugging in an aftermarket amp?

Also is it possible to replace the stock sub that is there with another aftermarket sub? What ohms will i need to buy the other sub at and will that be ok to run off of the stock amp for a while?

Seriously, EVERY one of those questions is answered in another thread. Namely the one I already posted.

Do research

Yes... stock head unit has about 15 RCA outputs. There are no wires and it communicates with the speakers via Bluetooth

Im sorry but i really am not very experienced at car audio yet and im trying to learn as i go...what does that exactly mean? I looked on the back of the radio and it didnt have rca ports (the red and white pluggins). My friend said something about an RCA adapter that would tap into the stereo wires on the back of the head unit. Does that sound right?

OK, this is seriously the last time I'm replying in this thread. Spy was being quite facetious in his response. Look at the thread I posted earlier, of my stereo install. If you actually read a little bit, you'll learn a thing or two. As a matter of fact, if you look in the VERY FIRST POST, you'll see links to the threads where I got all my information.
