Default Stereo Install, gurus needed

Anyone know where i can get some reasonably detailed info on how to pull the dash/door skins/trim apart in order to install a stereo

I've had a look around and didn't come up with much....
I'll be installing a single din, pair of splits, 2 amps and some subs.

My big concern is pulling everything apart to run the cable.... done it in other cars, just don't want to destroy this one

Unfortunately if you're running amps and subs then new wire obviously has to go in and of course then you have to pull stuff apart. you have to do the same in any other car.

simply look in 'beginers' sections etc and it has stickies on stuff like how to deaden your doors etc.
Use the search button and i bet you'll find 95% of what you'll ever need to! That site is like an ICE bible on the net.

Whether or not there's info on there about Rex installs, well that's something else. They are there and i'm sure if you search you may be able to PM peole who have done it.

Otherwise, you're on the right track asking here to start with

It's pretty damn simple.

Remove the screws that you can see, and the ones hidden under blanking caps. The door trims just pop off if you pull them!

You don't need to pull the dash apart, once you remove the centre console and the HVAC controls, everything is fairly well visible.
