the only slightly irritating thing is that whenever I turn off my engine, the speaker does pop. The answer I got from Pacific Stereo seems a bit confusing, something along the lines that because the subwoofer in the back is now connected to the Pioneer head unit instead of the factory amp. The only way to get rid of the pop is to replace the subwoofer with something compatible with the head unit. Otherwise, he said nothing to worry about. Does this sound right?

sounds like they used toyota amp integration harness lol. they are blowing smoke up your *** and dont want to spend time to do the job right. in some instances on toyota's/lexus u can get the stock sub to work with a aftermarket stereo. ive done this on my 92 sc and is very easy this may also apply on other years.
wether it be a stock 5ch amp seperate sub amp there is usually a low level signal input on the stock wiring behind the radio, you can usually get some rca ends and hook them up to the wiring that goes to the stock amplifier. granted this is the solution if you did a bypass on the factory amp and still want to retain it for sub output. remember that your factory amp still needs to be getting powered by amp turn on and getting a low level signal from your rca's

man now you guys are making me feel bad 
That's what I get for rushing this install job - I was going to wait until next week and tinker with it myself with my brother, but I guess I couldn't wait.
oh well I'm pretty happen with the unit nonetheless, and I'll be happier once I put in the 2.0 firmware upgrade.
