I have all this stuff but besides a tape deck that I put in a fj40 in the 80s i have no idea how to do it.

I have 2x really small speakers
4 x 6 inch speakers
2 x 6x9 speakers
1 x 4 channel 400w amp
2 x 2 channel 100w amps
Sony iPhone stereo thingo
a amp fitting kit and a crap load of wires and stuff

How do I join it all together and where do I put it?

[royce]

get a jigsaw, some MDF and some black paint

Cut out the mdf to make a panel that fits over the kick panels, right around and up as high as you can go

where the 6" hole is in the kickpanel, cut a hole for the 6x9 in the mdf, then chop enough steel for it all to fit in

paint it black, plug some wires into the speaker and screw it in, run the wires to where you want to put the amp (under the glovebox is good if you plan on the floors getting wet)

Repeat for the other side

screw the headunit thingo in where you want it to go, the spot in the dash for it is useful here

Run some wires

Fat red cable from the battery to where the amp will be, make sure the fuse is close to the battery
Fat black form a good earth (on the body is fine) to the amp
Both your pairs of speaker wires to the amp
hopefully your amp kit has an RCA lead, run that from the headunit to the amp, along with the thin blue wire in the kit

Wiring

Headunit
Yellow wire, run to constant power, red to acc and black to Earth, you can get all these from the clock wiring
plug the antenna in and the RCA leads and thats done

Amp (use the 2 Chanell)
Fat red to the Battery + terminal
Fat black to Battery -
Blue to remote
Rca to the RCA sockets
each speaker + and - to the left and right speaker terminals, make sure you get the polarity right or it will sound bad

should work then, dont worry about the rest of it, 2 big speakers mounted solid (the MDF is important) with some power up them is more than enough in a Sierra, more speakers and amps will just use more power

Where does the thin blue wire go?

[mudboy]

That is usually for auto arial

The thin blue wire that is with the RCA leads.

[royce]

stereo end hooks up to the blue remote wire

[jimny_timmy]

What Royce is trying to say is match the blue wire to the blue wire at the back of the stereo (just incase there's any confusion). It acts as a switch to turn the amp on when the head unit comes on
