Default Removing Radio???

Hey guys new Dodge owner here with a couple of questions. I have a 06 Ram 1500 Megacab, I want to remove the radio so I can install some subs in the back of the cab. Can anyone tell me how to do this. Also, does anyone know from experience if there are RCA jacks on the back of the radio? Thanks in advance.

This should help.

And, you need a line output converter to tap into the stock wiring for the RCA's

no screws on my radio bezel in the 07 MC just snaps.
other option you have is tapping into rear speakers and wirein to the hi output of your amp (if it has that funstion.

i bought my MC for room not to clutter it up with a boom box . but their is plenty room.

My 08 didn't have the bottom 2 screws either. Another cost savings idea I guess, much like the lack of a jack cover under the passenger seat
