if anything jstu go ahead and do the remote, and rcas at the same time as the H/U so you wont have to pull it back out.

The first thing you should do is decide where you are going to mount your amps. This has a lot of bearing on how much you have to tear apart, as well as where the wires will be run. Once you have the amps mounted the move to wiring them. Once you have the amps mounted and wired then mount the speakers and run the wires for them. The absolute last thing you want to install is the deck, always wire and test the entire system before you permantly mount the deck. This way you don't have to pull it out to make any wiring modifications.

One thing that I had to work with with my last install is make sure that where and how you mount your amps is solid. I made up some custom mounts for my amps and I have had to rip the truck apart 3 times now to finally get all of the rattles and vibrations taken care of.
