Installing a Head Unit, With Factory Amp Options

[1995GT]

This is my first time attemping something like this. I have the harness and a friend to help. But can anyone tell me how to access the wires with the factory amp? What panels do I have to remove and what do I do about the wires with the factory amp? Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially a how-to step-by-step article.
Thanks

I'm going to post a "how-to" on this soon but here's a quick rundown:

You will have to remove a) The armrest console b) the trim underneath the steering wheel c) the glovebox d) the the big piece of trim that surrounds the front console with the stereo/AC, vents, etc. e) the trim at both kick panels by the front lower corner of each door f) the plastic scuff plates.

It sounds like you have to remove a lot, and you do, but it's not that difficult and once you know what you're doing, it's pretty easy.

As for the amp wires, you can do what I did and remove the factory amp entirely or just leave it there and tuck the wires(that went to the factory receiver) underneath and out of the way.

I know I glossed over a lot of things but without going into step-by-step detail, that's the best I could do.

One tip; when removing the glove box, there is a little sensor of sort that has what looks like vacuum tubing attached to it that needs to be removed in order to take off the glove box completely. Push that little sensor thing down towards the inside of the glove box and twist it until you can pull it out sideways.

I hope that helps but if you have any specific questions I will be happy to answer them.
