Ok a couple of things: No 3rd party stereo is going to be able to control the "Stock" CD changer in your car. I am not sure about what the proper wattage is for the trunk mounted amplifier but this amplifier is only for the rear subwoofer and does not power the rest of the speakers. The installation kit the new radio is pretty much already pre-assambled and it's pretty easy to put install - just reverse the instructions from the link you already have (radio removal) - the installation kit uses the stock screws. Any radio you get with at least 25 watts RMS per channel should have plenty of power for your speakers. Yes! There are 6 speakers ( 2 tweeters and four full range speakers) however, on the harness there are only wires for the full range speakers, the 2 tweeters are already wired directrly to the front speakers so there is no need to rewire them. Also, in order for the "new" radio to work with the stock amp (for the subwoofer) you will have to split some wires but I know it is possible becaue I did it...if you decide that you want to do this project let me know and I'll tell you exactly what wires you need to tap into. If you get the right wire harness...the installation is easier than you think....one end plugs into the harness that you will unplug from the stock radio and the other end you have to connect to the wires coming from you "new" radio and it's all color coded so you should not have a problem...just match the colors! It's a project you should be able to manage just fine - you will be real happy with your new system and proud to have done it yourself. About the "new" radio - I've always used "Kenwood" brand in all of my cars. I like the way they look, the way they sound and their reliability...I never had any "kenwood" stereos go bad on me. Oh! By the way, you can either get a regular single din size (2" tall) radio or a double din sized radio (4" tall)...I have a double din size and it looks great. Let me know if this helped! Hello, saw your great post and had a question for a problem I am having. I'm looking to keep the process very simple as was wondering if you knew what wire harness and where to get it for my 93 ls, one that one cause me to lose the sub. Or is your splicing technique the only way to keep oem sub. I too am a kenwood man and just got a new one for mine. Local retail sold me on the harness with the rca's and it plugs in to nadda. Any help would be awesome
