Whatever you do try NOT to buy scoshe stuff.

The quality, well I just dont like it. All cheap, but it will work.

Hey, guys, i think im ready, i pulled out a few decks today used a Digital Multimeter to test voltage on diff wire's and acctually know how to determine Remote on and power wire to deck etc. Now thanks to this forum and you guys, i can set it all up myself. Cheers. Btw, After Amp and Deck is installed do i leave old factory speakers in the doors etc?

Well if you took the speakers out of the doors and such what would you be listening to? Just a subwoofer?

do you have speakers purchased? or a component set? your 5 channel amp is for speakers/component set and then a subwoofer.. you can hook tweeters up yes, but you will just have highs and that will sound horrible.... your best bet is to leave the stock speakers in there(well replace them perferbly) and hook them up to the amp, and then you can add the tweeters in the A Pillar..

I dont think you want to replace speakers with just tweeters...

WOw, sorry, total last thing, im going to be replacing my Head Unit, by simply soldering and using DMM, I can find the speaker wires, remote on, power cable etc using DMM, how do i determin the dimmer? Can someone pls refer me to some list of properties of a wire. Thx in advance.

AGAIN DO NOT CUT OFF THE FACTORY PLUG

Buy the damned wiring harness! Its like $7 bucks!

The dimmer sucks, dont waste your time...
