We chatted briefly about wiring. The main customized PnP interface harnesses were purchased from Technic (Thanks bro!). This will allow us to tap into the wires directly from the CIC Quadralock speaker outputs and into our MS-8. From this harness we also have to transfer the MOST harness (two fiber optics cables in a connector socket) to the PnP harness; it just unplugs from the OEM Quadralock and plugs right into the new Quadralock harness.
Retail Price USD $125.00

Other cabling, we'll get from Straight Wire. For RCA choices, (we'll need 6 pairs at 1 meter each) I'm going with the economical choice of the Musicable II line. If cash is no object then the Encore II line may be the choice for you. We'll also get the Musicable II speaker wire for the speakers in the doors and choose 14/4 and 14/2 cable combinations for these runs.
Here's a link to Straight Wire's website:
http://www.straightwire.com/
Retail price USD$250.00 (~$25.00 per RCA pair + speaker wire).

If I go crazy and decide to add a sub in the trunk thumping base through the ski-port opening, a great choice would be Rainbow's 12 INCH VANADIUM Car Subwoofer. Here's a pic of Nelson's previous setup incorporating some major base! Also a link to Rainbow's website.

).

First of all I want to thank you for doing a job like this and posting it. I am exactly looking at those pieces, the JBL MS8, the Jenhert speakers and either TRU amps or AUDISON amps. I am so curious on the sound of the door speakers. I was told they are very similiar to the rainbow speakers. I am also looking to put Image Dynamic subs in the trunk shooting thru ski hole. Please keep us informed and posted on the final outcome, especially the speakers. GOOD LUCK and thanks again.

Nigel, I remove the center channel cover with a hair pin. No need to remove the LCD screen.
Here's a review I found at diymobileaudio.com:
