all depends on what you are trying to do. From the factory your car had 3.5's in the dash and I think 4x10's in the rear. If the stock wiring is still there just replace the speakers and go with that if all you are looking for is something to make noise. you will have tan, lt gry, lt green, dk green, yellow, brown, dk blu blu are your speakers. blk grd, yellow ign, gry dash lights, and you'll have to run a cns 12v wire to the fusebox for memory.
