Just a lot of splicing wires? Haven't gotten into the console as yet. I bought a cheap non-dvd double din to start with. It's half the depth of a typical unit. Was initially thinking of fabbing up a rig to angle it up up higher and to cut into where the convertible switch is now, leaving the seat heater controls and such where they are. I figured a screen could benefit from angling up higher anyway. Haven't seen anyone do that as yet. Need to pull apart the console to see what kind of room I have back there.

Complete
These are the speakers I bought https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I pulled the end caps and saw the speaker grills were held in by tabs, so I gently pried them straight and removed the grill. Cut the stock connectors and crimped female flat connectors onto the stock wires.
The mounting holes on the Audiopipes lined up perfectly. I even used the stock screws to put them in.
Then I slid the grill back on and flattened the tabs, My right side had a vibration at volume, and I suspect the grill tabs aren't as tight as they could be. You really need to make sure the tabs are pressed as flat and tight as possible. That was a small challenge.

Huge success with the speakers you linked to me and the install that I just completed.
I took my time and found I didn't have to remove the entire rear card. I found the tabs behind the card for speaker grille removal. The speakers I found were completely trashed. Everything about them was destroyed. I had to clip the wires from the old speakers and connect to the new ones. Everything was dead easy.
Couldn't be happier with the results.
Very pleased indeed.
