yes. It comes with a plug in the back of the radio. You can wire that up directly with speakers, and so forth. Very straight forward. I used the RCA outlets rather than the speaker "wires" and ran those to the amplifier. Again, wiring is very straight forward. There is a "hot" wire for the amp, or any remote turn-on. Works for the amp, a power antenna, anything you want to hook up to it.
You have to pick your face plate, and knobs when you order the radio. There is a chrome outer faceplate you can use, or not. I didn't use it on mine, as I have the factory holes for the shaft. I've seen it both ways. There are decals to put on the faceplate that look very stock, and then there are LED's inside when you turn the unit on.
Again, I like it. Others will undoubtedly have other opinions. I have read reviews from the custom auto sound that are not favorable. I cannot speak to that, as I've only used the Retro Sound unit.
My only real thing I'm disappointed with is the lack of a remote control. I got spoiled by the remote on the Pioneer head unit I've used in other vehicles, and sort of miss that feature. However, I do like the two-shaft look, and am content with the sound.
Best of luck!
