So I've completed stage one of the stereo install. I had to remove a thing or two during the process. The connector on the driver's door was considerably different than the rest of them, and since I was upgrading the speaker wires, I had to get in there.

 

Wow that is some serious mod there

 

Getting ready to do the same thing, but hope I don't have to take the whole friggin door off...lol

 

Taking the door off made things amazingly less complicated. You'll need a 10mm socket for the 4 bolts that hold the door to the hinges. The nice thing about the bolts is that they have a shank to them so alignment wasn't an issue when I reinstalled the door. I just wish I had removed the other 3 doors when I fished the new speaker wire into them. The underside of the dash was too cluttered on the driver's side so I couldn't get my hands in there to pull the wire.

 

I didnt take the door off, but it was tricky to get my hands in there.

 

This was my first thought when I saw the door off. Glad to hear that it had an alignment thingamajig

 

im getting ready to run new wire...going to have to get it through that little thing as well, but im not taking my doors off lmao

looks clean though. pics of the rest of the setup?
