The amp is built into the stock hu and is nothing special (dont be fooled by the "Bloz" name and every one saying you need all sorts of custom wiring to get the speakers to work). A good aftermarket HU will make the speakers sound better. You will have to do a little custom wiring to get it to work but its not hard.

That said you can get a Blitzsafe adapter which will allow you to plug it into the HU and control it.
