OK.... easy stuff.......... here it is:


Headunit:

stick a screwdriver or even your keys into the gap between the plate and the DIN pouch underneath the deck, pull inside so that the outer piece pops out

get a dash kit for a 94-97 Accord and follow those instructions

buy a wiring harness for the same car, match colors from the new harness to the deck harness, plug in and youre OK, plug in your antenna cable as well......

the dash kit will be secured by 2 screws on the bottom end of it



Rear speakers

pop off the grills, unscrew and disconnect the harness

buy speaker harnesses that will plug in... or just clip the wires and Ill find you the color codes for positive and negative

reconnect everything slide in speakers and screw them in




front speakers

remove door panel

unscrew speaker from basket

same as with rear from here

pop off tweeter grills on dashboard, unscrew them from the back (this might take some serious effort) and pop in new ones on same plate, put back together, wire in and youre good



AMPS

buy your cable, your choice on thickness and all that... atleast 18 feet will be needed

attach leads to the batery run to DRIVERS SIDE Of engine bay, there will be a hole in the firewall where other wires are already going, pop into that and run the wires through there

run around the kick fuse pannel (underneath) tuck into carpet along the way, the step plate on the door (I think it might sa ACURA, not too sure, but that thing) pop it off (just clips, real easy) and run the wires through there, into the back seats under the carpet, and there will be a crack between the car and the back seat back, run it through there and youre set

everything from the deck gets harder (RCAs and remote-on leads) 1st remove the center console piece, 2 screws underneath the clothy piece under the storage box trhat will just pop off, and then 3 underneath the cup holders, again those pop right off, pull up the e-brake and pull the piece up and away............

start by feeling the wire into the dash area for the deck, then make it go underneath all that and run back to the e-brake area, take a long flexible stick or something and poke it through the carpet to the back seats, pull the carpet back around there, and pull the wires through, route it to the drivers side of it all and use the same crack as the power wires

connect, reassemble as you found it and there ya go

Does anyone who pictures of where to locate the firewall hole? And pics of how to push the wires in, the tools to use, etc, etc?? I am having trouble doing all this! :/
