Basic C4 Stereo Replacement?!
I am really into car audio, and my daily driver already has around $4000 of equipment to satisfy my needs. 
However, I am replacing the front stage and will have an extra pair of 5.25" Eclipse point source. I think that these will mount in the front of my 87 (will pull the grills and do some measuring), but can anyone confirm?
Those take a lot of power, so I will need a new headunit to replace the crappy Bose tape deck. Is this a standard double-din size? Would the Alpine IVA-W200 fit? Do they make a harness that's easy for this car? I want to bypass the Bose amps, and would like to avoid running all new wires (although I can).
I also have an extra set of 5x7's that I pulled from the rear of my ford, and would like to know if these will fit? I could definately find some 6x9's or 6.5's that would fill in the rear if not.
I don't want to add any weight and just overcoming the motor sound is my main concern.
Help with any of the above questions is much appreciated!

Fronts will fit up to 6.5 without having to cut anything.
rears are 6x9s, youll need to create a baffle
head unit is 1.5 din
All of this stuff is in the C4 faq sticky...
Might want to read through it.
