Head unit and speaker install, what do I need?

Sup guys, I'm going to buy a basic head unit, and co-axial speakers for my shitty camry, and I was wondering what else I needed to do the install besides the head unit and speakers?

1. I know I'll need a head unit wiring harness for sure
2. Uhhh what else do I need lol

I would suggest an alpine head unit. with that you'll need a wiring harness which you can find at best buy in the audio dept. you will also probably need a indash kit so you can put the head unit into.

as far as the coaxial. they're path to go to when replacing stock speakers. either coaxials or if you want to spend a little more you can go ahead and get component sets.

Yeah, I already have my parts picked out, but I just wanted to know what I'll need for installation.

I'm getting a bunch of different shit like, butt connectors, head unit wiring harness, crimper, etc etc.

I need to know all the parts I'll need

I'm about ready to do my own install of an Alpine headunit, and I'm wondering if there are any straight "plug and play" wiring harnesses for Alpines, or will they all require soldering or crimping? The ones I've seen so far (such as at crutchfield) are bare wires that need to be soldered.

grr wtf, for a simple head unit install, all i need are the wiring harness correct? Some people tell me I need a butt splice connector, and most shops around me are out of them. Freaking freakin freak. Do i need a butt splice connector for head unit install?
