Ok so I will still need the LOC. Sorry I'm new to car audio. Ive installed amps before but not in a new vehicle. I'm just trying to figure out everything I need before I order. Right now I think I need: Metra harness so I don't have to cut factory harness. KTP-445U and LOC. I have an amp and subs already. I would only need door speakers after. Do you think that's all I need? Correct me if I'm wrong but the only wires I will need to cut is remote wire and 2 speaker wires to go to Loc for external amp?

What sub amp are you using?
There's not really a remote wire behind the base stock head unit, you can use the accessory turn on, but it will cause some thump if you turn your headunit off while the truck is on.

The 1200w amp Is Boss Chaos C700. I got it from a friend free. The second is pioneer 760watts. GM-5400T. I have 2 cheap 10" pioneer subs. They will only be temporary.

I can't find the lil connector pigtail connector for the speaker-level input for either amp so I just ordered a LOC. I ordered the 445U also. Now all I need to do is figure out what door speakers I want to go with. I think ima do component in the front and coaxial in the rear. Don't want nothing too expensive, any suggestions?

Here's what I would do: cancel the alpine, run the subs you have on the Boss, and run your mids/highs on the pioneer. You can use a two channel on your doors a couple ways:
1. Amp just the front doors and leave the rears on the HU
2. Bridge both left doors and both right doors, this is the loudest option
3 bridge both left doors and both right doors, but add a resistor to attenuate the rears.
You can pick less sensitive rear speakers if you're gonna bridge each side.
