The best method (the one that yields the greatest quality) involves having an external processor that can take the signal from the head unit and flatten the EQ before sending to your amplifier to power the speakers.

It would be nice if the stock headunit spit out a flat signal, but this simply is not the case.

If you're just adding a sub you will be fine -- and depending on your musical ear you may not notice a simple swap in speakers (if you choose to do that), but I thought i'd throw it out there.
back before I did full after market I did the ktp-445u install with kappa 62.11i in the doors.. that's noticeable.. it will also drown the entire rest of the system out but it still sounds pretty alright, and is dead simple to do.
