When you buy a HU or a pair of speakers, do the wiring kits come with it? I think when you buy a new HU you have to buy a wiring kit. (Like from Walmart or something.) Is it the same way with speakers? or is everything you need to install them in the box? If it isn't in the box where would...

I was reading sticky at the top of the page and I thought it said that the amp was in the headunit for the 2000 Premium model year. I thought it had a separate amp in the rear trunk panel. So is there an amp there or no amp. This will make a big difference in the ease of installation if I add...
