is it possible to install a sub and amp to the stock integra radio?

No it doesnt have RCA pre-outs on the back of the deck.\
But you can hook the amp up to the rear speakers using the speaker level inputs on the amp (if equipped), you just run speaker wire from both your back speakers to the amp. Makes for very poor sound quality though.
The best way to go is to get a good aftermarket deck with rca pre-outs on the back.

well i had the same deal with me a while ago, i went and got a rca converter deal from the flee for like 10 bucks, then u tap into the rear speaker wires on the inlet of the converter, then plug yur rcas to the output, pretty simple and it acutally sounded real good

Depending on which amp you have, you might not need to get a converter.
Some amps accept the speaker wire right into the side, some use a small 4-prong plug.
If you amp does not have speaker level imputs (high voltage imputs) you would have to get the converter.
But getting a cd player with rca's is best.

I would get a new head unit IMO... It would save you a lot of wiring pain, and you can probably get something that's better and has more features than your current headunit for like $150 and less...

Panasonic or JVC mp3 player for 199.99 @ circuit city. But seriously dont get them if you plan on having them for a while. i would advise you to get nothing less than pioneer, alpine or kenwood.

My panasonic's been decent so far... every once-n-a-while it throws and error type 3 at me if I bump a CD in slightly before taking it out... usually takes the CD player about 15 minutes to do a self check and realize there is no disc, but that's happened like 3 times in a year...
Looks snazzy though, and sounds pretty clean...

Panasonic 200 watt CD/mp3/WMA player, $140 dollars. I love mine -- RCA preouts, sweet looking face. Doesn't have a digital EQ and is a little slow to suck in CDs, but perfect otherwise. Sounds great.:thumbup:
Edit -- this is probably the one Shore 96 Teg was talking about for $199 at Circuit City, just significantly cheaper.
