I installed a Sony (Crutchfields) with Modfry's harness and DCI. Used Posi-loc connectors. Easy. Worked great the first time. Like how the remote controls work. Would order it again in a heartbeat.
Mine does not completely mute as the Modifry posts indicated but it is enough for me when I need it. I use my Galaxy note 4 most of the time to control. Phone app starts when car starts. Variable color display so I can match the color just right, that was a must for me. It has 45 watts of power so I did not use another amp. I found the stock speakers actually sound pretty good, much better than with the stock HU. I only open the radio now to insert a CD. I got the digital radio but still wanted a CD input along with front and back ports for iPad/phone/chip. Nice feature is the speed wire to adjust the volume as you drive. Adjustable.

I’ll be honest with you
I haven’t even thought about the speakers although the tweeters seem to be locked into that back headrest area I’d be too afraid to damage the , the door speakers shouldn’t be too hard

Not too many people substitute a different 6.5" while leaving in the OEM tweeter -
component sets are designed to compliment each other, so mismatched ones
may not work well together (smooth transition from lows to highs with equal output);
in addition aftermarket sets usually come with a far more sophisticated crossover
than the simple capacitor in the OEM setup.
Most aftermarket tweeters are not that difficult to install in place of the OEM ones.

Installed the UTE-73BT and two Focal ICU-165 in the doors yesterday. Sounds great. Left the stock tweeters in and it works wonder. Ordering the KTP-445A for easy install & boost the power up a bit.
Anyone is installing a small sub? May be a powered thin sub that may sits behind or under the seat?
