Does anyone know if I can just adapt the amp to hook up to the current system thats in the car???

yah, I'm doing the same thing to mine this weekend. I also have eatc, but I purchased a line level converter from ebay for 9 bucks including shipping and it arrived today. I'm just going to patch into the two rear deck speakers from the trunk with the converter and then run that into the amp RCA inputs. I read somewhere here that the blue wire on the stereo "brains" located in the trunk of all tauruses is good for a remote for the amp. It controls the power antennea, which my car does not have (I think only the wagons had it). Then just run like a 10 or 12 guage wire with fuse to the battery up front and a ground and you should be good to go. I'll post back if I run into anything problematic once I get into it.
