You will need 5 1/4 to 6 1/5" speaker adapters, and wiring to fused power to the amp. There's power wiring kits on Amazon, but they don't fit well so I made my own. I can't recall the brand of my speaker adapters. Arc maybe? Check the audio forum.

Debating on a new radio, would like to have a bluetooth option and keep the stock hand controls which I know is possible.

so i currently don't have anything to attach the speaker too. so it looks like i need the whole speaker plate and grills. then i need to buy the speakers.


is there anything else that is needed to install speakers in those holes?
