Also, you should check on the resistance of the speakers (I'm sure its on here somewhere). IIRC the stock speakers are 6 ohm with the fader, which is an odd number. Most systems should be okay with it but it can't hurt to double check it before you overheat a new HU--so if you're thinking about replacing the speakers and bypassing the fader its a good idea to do it all at once.

Some diligent internet searching might turn up a plug-n-play adapter to help with the wiring so you don't have to splice into every one.
