[QUOTE="ColterDC, post: 7094489, member: 612869"] I personally like pioneer, just because of my experiences with both their car and home recievers. But there are several good brands. The wiring harness that the stereo comes with is just the harness that plugs into the back of the radio. You want to buy the wiring harness that enables you to plug your new unit into the stock wire harness. The wire adapter needs to be specific to your car.

It would depend on what's currently in your car. Your new head unit will probably put out a little more wattage per channel, but is it enough of an increase to warrant replacing all your factory speakers? I'd just start with getting your new head unit, get that working, see how it sounds and then decide if you want to replace your stock speakers. [/QUOTE]
