Thanks..that does help for the speakers..but my wiring problem still exists...Does anyone know what colors mean what for the wires from the stock h/u?

My biggest problem is that the stock deck has a larger clip (with all the wires to the deck) and my new one has a smaller clip (the size of a normal cd changer) i need to fit all the wires into this... or attach, whatever no time for stupid mombo jumbo talk! although I do have a lot of time now because someone felt like backin into my car on boxing day and I refuse to drive it untill its fixed haha

Do you just need an adaptor for a Honda radio harness? You can get one at most car stereo stores or from lucid:

http://lucidauto.com/Merchant2/merch...egory_Code=RIP

The adaptor comes with a diagram for what wire carries what signal. Your radio should come with a similar manual for what wires carry what signal. You just have to solder the wires of the adaptor to your radio (remove whatever harness is on there now) using those two diagrams and then plug the radio into the factory harness. Don't cut the factory harness off if you can help it.

You said you've done this before so maybe I'm misunderstanding the question.

Hey Thats not what I need....I have that already..but that harness is too large for my new deck..my new deck has a harness..the problem is connecting the old wires to the new harness...and knowing which wire is which!!

The radio manual should have a wiring diagram of which wire is which. Try the manufacturer's website if you don't have the manual, most manufacturers stick to a single color code for all their radios. (In fact, most manufacturers use the same code).
