go with a gmco harness instead
is HD radio in ur area, if not dont bother with it

IMO unless u are adding an amp dont bother putting components up front they are going to be severly lacking without amplification. if not adding an amp i would do polk db351 up front and polk db 521 in read and keep oem door subs going

u look at kenwood dnx series of headunits at all

I didn't think I could use the GMCO harness w/ Onstar?

Washington DC area, quite a few channels I would listen too.

I guess I need help with an amp also; not sure what to do.

Out of curiosity, if I went the route with the pioneer 6.5 components and amp, what amp would you recommend? And, will the bass be on par or better then the factory 8" or 10" (not sure what size) in the door? Scott
