if your head unit has preouts which im pretty sure it does you use those and connect it to the rca inputs on the amplifier. check the faq section lots of good info

yea, on the bakc of the unit, there should a set, or two of RCA plugs.
take an RCA cord from that to the amp. (there is alot more to it, like he said, chekc the faq.)

well, RCA cables connect the amp to the alpine unit, but I'm assuming you want to know how to connect to the factory wiring.. to the actual speakers.
you can either run wires back to teh harness behind the alpine, or just run new speaker wire directly from the amplifier to each speaker.

I'd run fresh wire myself
