The Main dilemma and limiting factor with the Stereo was keeping the weight up front as it's a front wheel drive car that I plan to go really fast in.  What this means is I couldn't use the 12" MTX Thunder Pro and 450 watt MTX Thunder 2160 I had in my Honda (It's fried anyway, but boy was it kicking hard when it went).  I'll have to keep all my amps up front so I'll have to use a smaller amp, and I'll have to use smaller subs mounted in the side panels of the rear seats (in front of the rear tires).  The factory holes are only 5X6's, but with some fabrication It seems very possible to stuff some 10" speakers in there.  Someday I may stick some 8"ers in  there so I don't have to do so much "stuffing," and still have them fit behind the stock plastic molding.  I had two 8's and two amps to go with them (from my Honda's system), but decided that for now I was going to keep things simple so I could focus my attentions elsewhere (for now).  The whole system (except the head unit) will end up looking stock, and that's not hard since all the speaker holes are covered up one way or another and the amp will fit behind the console.  I still can't figure out any way to hid the CD-changer, but it's not working to well anyway so I may just turn in my tape deck for a CD player deck later down the road.

Now that I had my plan all set up I had to get started.  I compiled the basics of what I would need, and started with the wire harness.  I was originally going to use the stock rear speakers so I wired them up to the pre amp outputs as the stock speakers have there own amps attached to them.  This didn't work well as they still needed 5 volts and the Clarion's pre amps only puts out around 1 volt making the speakers very quite.
Clarion Head Unit all wired up.
When using the stock speakers I had to wire the pre amps and the remote from the deck into the Infinity wires, but that was all easily done with a some RCA wire connectors and the wiring harness from  Crutchfield it ended up being to a snap - almost literally.  This effectively put power and signal to the rear speakers through the stock wiring.  These can latter be used to hook up amps and speakers if/when I ever decide to upgrade the rear speakers for more base output, but it probably wouldn't be a good idea to push a lot of power through those stock wire so again I'd be stuck with smaller amps.

Finally (maybe) I did the installation of the Clarion head unit in the console and MTX co-axial speakers in the doors.  It took a bit of time, but wasn't too hard (again with help from Crutchfield wiring harnesses).  I also removed the dash speakers to replace them with a pair of Pioneer tweeters.  The MTX 240 amp got squeezed behind the the console to run the rear 5X7 Pioneer Co-axial speakers.  I re-did the wiring to hook the pre amps and remote to the amp, and ran some 10 gage wire from the battery and to a good ground all with the proper fuses.  After double checking all the wires I hooked up the wiring harness and off it went (except for the CD-changer that doesn't want to work).  That's all for now, but you can probably expect me to do more with it sometime in the future.
