    What year ? Just did it in my car. I ahve the late model harness that doesnt share a common ground for all the speaker channels

    Very straightforward. Just use butt splices to wire it up.

            Yup. Wire goes to wire, and you are set. Make sure you unplug the battery too

                    I pulled my deck out today to get the serial number off it... my holder thing came loose in the process

                    Basically you take the tabs on the holder thing and bend them down to lock onto the trim.
