What exactly are you looking to install? The car has 3 1/2" speakers in the dash and 5x7's in the cargo area. If you're just upgrading with stock sizes, you can remove the original wire from the stock speaker in the dash, and solder it on to the new dash speaker. In the rear, you'll have to do something with the factory connector.

If you order speakers (or other audio components) from vendors such as Crutchfield, you get adaptors for the factory harness(es) so you don't have to cut, splice, solder, etc. If you ever want to put the factory speakers (or other audio components) back in place, that's a big plus.

i know all that...lol...i was wondering how hard it is to tear the dash down to get to them but thanks for the other info

To get to them is not hard. Remove the instrument bezel, 4 screws I think. Then remove the 4 screws up top on the dash pad in each corner of the defrost ducts then the ones under the pad behind the bexel you removed and the ones above the glove box. I think it is like 12 screws total and after you remove the pad you can see the stock speakers in each corner and their mounting screws.

Remove the instrument cluster bezel (three screws) and then the dash pad (eight screws). The dash speakers are beneath the dash pad. You'll need an offset screwdriver to get the speakers out and in.
