Your CD player still works? lol. For cleaner sound quality install all new power, ground and speaker wires when replacing your head unit. You an just unplug your CD player and gut it and bolt in back in place to fill the big old gap then use it for storage. What head unit you plan on installing?

As for the CD changer, just pull the trunk trim back and remove a few bolts. that whole big assembly will come right out. You can gut it as recommended for storage or relocate your battery there or glass in a real subwoofer, any number of things.

Oh ya… This is a friggin nightmare. I could not get the stock stuff to work.
I have a full wire diagram for the car and radio. i can't make this new unit work with any of the stock stuff.
I am going to try to run back to the amp, delete the amp and cd player and just use the stock wires to the speakers.
Yes, Yes i am a gluten for punishment!! LOL
SO. i see there is a Woofer amp, my new unit has RCA woofer out, gonna also try to work that in!!
Thank you all for the info… I will let ya know how it goes!

I put in a JVC head unit and spliced the wires to use the stock amp. The main speakers ended up working fine, but the sub woofer didn't. Perhaps I missed something. I put an Alpine sub amp in where the CD storage was and ran the RCA sub out from the JVC to it, it sounds great now.
Oh, and the power antenna didn't work with the new wiring, but the radio still pulls in signal so I didn't care.

Did you pull the CD player?
I see the Sub has its own amp in the trunk. I just need to find it and run the wires back.
I know i should just run new wires and amps, but i like a challenge. LOL
