Will it work fine until I get an amp? or should I wait to hook it up when I get an amp? I'm replacing everything stock.

I like the Trans Am plate, but I think it's kind of tacky. Still iffy on it.

due to the differences in wiring, i'd wait until you get an amp if you can. if you can't, then it should run fine off of the HU for the time being.

another thing to keep in mind, when i was into the audio stuff forever ago, the thing that causes blown speakers most often is not too much power, but.. not enough power.

Oh yeah, very nice indeed! I know how that goes keeping everything looking good when it's a daily driver. At some point, you just get tired of cleaning it.
