the crimping was a bit tedious, but crutchfield gave explicit directions with the harness they throw in for free (well, you pay for it with thier higher prices of course). the clarion instructions are also relatively clear. It was time consuming making sure the harness instructions and the clarion instructions matched. Two problems I had was... on the clarion they have a purple wire, and a purple/black wire... only thing the purple is so dark, you can't see the black stripe, even with a magnifying glass. (unless they wired mine wrong and gave me two purple wires). Finally just picked one, figured it was 50-50 and if the rear speaker didn't work, I would know. the other thing was two yellow wires for power on the deck (one for memory, one for overall power, both with fuses) and only one yellow wire on the harness. Did some research, and seemed it was ok to splice the two yellow deck wires into the one yellow harness wire. This stuff is probably no big deal for most folks, but the last car deck I installed was, um, an 8 track, so I'm a bit behind the times!
