Ok never done any wiring for car audio. Never even watched anyone do it. I just bought a 96 GMC 1500 Reg cab. It has a stock deck so i went and bought one today its a pioneer, cheap but yet decent. Now the next thing i would want to replace is the speakers. Im getting the deck installed through where i bought it, seeing as its free instalation, but what about the speakers? $80 bucks for them to install speakers plus an aditional $50 for any cutting (i.e if i want 6X9's). This is canadian funds by the way. So is it easy to do, wire new speakers that is? Or should i just pay a professional to do it. If not where could i learn step by step what to to??

it's easy...take your door off and put in the new speakers...that is if your not adding an external amplifier

yea its pretty easy to install new speakers by taking out your door panel. im sure you could find out how to take your door panel somewhere online.

also its nice to see that you made your first post/thread in the correct section. nice job.
