I've changed 4 stereo HU's in 2 944's and 1 BMW E36, so I know exactly how it's done. I just want to make sure the adapter I get will work, and not eliminate the rear speakers, etc!
Thanks for the help, hopefully I'll have a favorable review of the new HU in the next few weeks!

Crutchfield does not carry the 6 channel ones for sure. Here's a great thread from 6speed that I had forgot I had marked a while back. http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/9...6-cr220-3.html Good install pictures, and they reference having to use both the Metra 70-1787 and 70-1784 harness adapters, which are available on Amazon, about $25 and $12 each. In fact this thread is oneof the ones that convinced me to not just change the HU, but his was also an Alpine, which Tippy said doesn't sound too great either.

I ran a recording studio for over ten years and still do as a side job.
You need to replace the speakers and the amp, before the head
Here's the links to my stereo upgrade:

I found an interesting CDR220 tone setting that makes the system sound almost good! I cranked the treble, and turned on the loudness. Then, I lowered the bass to -3. Not bad, showing the speakers can sound relatively decent.
