yes you will need, an rca adapter that taps into a your speaker wire to get the signal then you will need to tap the fuse box for aux power, not constant for the power on amp signal, and power wire for the battery

12v->battery
gound
Aux->non constant fuse box
RCA Adapter- Speaker Wire Music Signal

Actually, it makes no difference whaatsoever in the power going to the speakers. That is determined by the amp. the RCA adapter actually acts as a filter, at least good ones, to get rid of noise.

Put down the baggy and step away from the car, sir.

Aftermarket is better because you can get a specific subwoofer RCA output. This is good especially if your amp does not have a crossover built in. Otherwise you may allow vocals to go through your sub which can cause issue with the voicecoil. So either do the HU install and get an amp with a crossover in it, buy a crossover to go with an amp that doesnt have 1, or buy a HU with sub out and install it on any amp. Personally, I prefer a sub out on my HU and a Class D mono block amp. But thats just me
