Yup everything is stock. Simple plug and play. no splicing of factory wires. You will need this wiring kit:

follow the instructions here on how to repin the wires.

Unplug the oem amp, plug in the new one and THATS IT! You're not going to win any audio competitions but the sound will be much fuller.

Btw - the signal coming to the door speakers is full range. This kicker amp has crossover settings that will give you the ability to do low or high pass filter. I tried the low pass filter to make the doors become a sub and it just sounds muddy. I left the crossover off and it's just perfect for me.
