Hi -
I'd like to move the following from my '89 240 GL to the '94 850 GLT I just bought.

Pioneer DEH 6500 stereo/cd player
4 1/2" Infinity front door speakers
6"x9" Infinity rear speakers
Blaupunkt amplifier
Infinity 10" subwoofer

I know I'll have to get an adapter to make the stereo fit in the huge space of the old radio, but will I have to get a special wiring harness? I think the front speakers will fit with no problem, but has anyone replaced those and had any issues?

Thanks!
Michelle

FYI - the front speakers were no problem, but I had to use a spacer like I did in the 240 to make sure the window had clearance. The 6x9's in the rear deck were more of a pain. I had to enlarge the hole in the metal deck quite a bit, then use some foam to raise the speaker so that the mounting rim would sit right on top of the deck material.
