A flash is required, but it can be done by any stereo shop that has the Techno Research programming software.

If memory serves correctly, it doesn’t. But, you’ll need line levelers, anyway. They’ll have RCA’s. Rockford Fosgate, does have a direct plug and play setup, and an authorized RF dealer, can flash your system, with a flat EQ. This will help either eliminate or substantially reduce, the harsh EQ curve, from your OEM head unit.

You can either have the radio flashed or use the Biketronics line Leveler which will have the RCA jacks. This makes installing the amp plug and play.

And as others have said hit up the Audio section, those guys will help you do it right the first time saving you $$$.

Good luck and welcome to the forum.
