Well back in high school in the 80's I Installed some on my cars, but that's it. I bought from crutchfield, they're instructions are great. The center console comes apart very easily. Taking out the stocker, easy. The only part where you go slow is attaching the wires up. Getting some good connectors makes its real simple. Wire strippers helps too. If your patient and can follow directions, go for it.

if you get one of those harness you linked, the install becomes very simple. Match the wires color to color. Aftermarket vendors all pretty much use the same colors so your not connecting a blue wire to a green wire, or asking yourself weather your holding the blue with white strip or white with blue stripe wire.

Exactly........Here is a pic of the two wire harness's mated together with the 12 volt auto relay.

The speakers I added as well. Also really simple to install.

07, you can do this install dude. Hit me up with any questions you may come across. Go for it.

yeah, this is pretty much what my trunk looks like right now:


But I just recently started drag racing and now I'm just looking at the weight and shaking my head.

07, I just switched out stock speakers. Put kickers in back and Boston Accoustics in doors. Headunit has tons of bass for my taste so no subs needed. I also race this car so I didn't want the xtra weight.
