What do i need to hook up HU/speakers

[NitroDuck 10+ year member]

My stuff (750mp and speakers) should be coming in any day now (its been a week) and i wanted to know what i should have to hook it up. I want to buy this stuff ahead of time so i could just hook it up myself. And for the speakers, do i jsut diconnect the wires from the old speaker and put them on the new speaker? This is going to be my first install and i dont want it to take a few days running back to the shop to buy parts that i need or take back parts that i dont need and what-not. Thanks

if you already dont have it:

1) wiring harness

2) doublin DIN to single DIN adaptor (if needed)

3) maybe extra speaker wire, factory speakers usually have special hookups, but yours might not

thats all i can think of now

What do you mean special hookups? Jw...I dont even got a car yet so I can't look. Once I get my car I think I'm going just to take everything out of it lol (seats, carpeting, factory stuff.)

Hey tell me how you like your 750mp, if it really is 6v, and get some pics, I MIGHT buy one, if I dont wanna go the extra mile for the 940mp.

for example the factory speakers in both the cars i have owned have had a plug adaptor for the speaker, not wire on the speakers, but a plastic harness for a connector

Bah...should I go to bestbuy or circuit city and ask them what i need and buy it there? I went to walmart and saw a double DIN to single but couldnt find any wiring harnesses or speaker wire harnesses.
