I'm about to replace my entire Mach460 system (1999 Cobra) with an Alpine system all around . The stock setup is no longer going to be used.

new system will have:
Alpine CDA-9851
Alpine v12 MRV-F345
Alpine Type R 5x7's all around
Rockford Fosgate Cables
XM Radio

(sub and mono amp to be added later)

Installing speakers and running the wire under my carpet is cake for me, and I want to install the Alpine CDA-9851 deck myself, but when it comes to the different wires and harnesses I'm confused . I need some help with the wiring to the new stereo. Which harness is used? Which wire to/not to tap?

If anyone has any wiring diagrams or How-to's for my system, or any beneficial tips for the install I'd reallyreally appreciate it! thanks!

If you're planning on running new speaker cables and what not. You don't need to wory about anything but power wires. Just get whatever harness will fit and all you need out of them is the power wires.
