You need an amp, amp install kit and a line level converter. I actually have all of the above including the enclosures and subs if you want a package put together.

To expand on this a little:

If I've got the amp install kit and line level converter, where is the best place to get the switch/signal from so the amp turns on and off with the radio?

I just installed my system in my 99 z28, use the RAP power wire - yellow wire in black connector. Works out perfectly. I also got the input for the converter from the back of the head unit. Thanks to whitebird00 for the info.
