Yep...I went through all this last spring.

Here is what I did....

I replaced the center console mount with the one from DMC
houston...BEWARE! You MUST paint it! (otherwise the shiny metal shows
through! See pics 191 and 315 on the link below.) I also opted to
replace ALL the wiring in the car for the radio (I left the original in
place just in case a future owner of the car wants to use it)
Here is pics of my radio install:

Now...as for speakers, I replaced the fronts and put in new wires (no
biggie) for the back, to replace the 4x10s it a pain in the @ss, and
they don't sound good anyway. Instead, I ran new wires up the center
console, and built new rear wall (about $30 in parts, and a couple of
hours time) Here are pictures of THAT process:

Hey I am also dealing with this right now. You should be able to wire 
up the radio without cutting wires in the car, but the radio 
connector harness will definatley help out, I guess special T has 
them, and also the midstate delorean club. 

I also cannot decide if I want to cut the original radio bracket, or 
order a DIN style bracket from DMCH. If someone wants to buy my 
original then i will preserve it.

in and it is starting to go to pot. My question is that when any 
other stereo was installed, was there any re-wiring that was re-done 
to the car and/or the having of new speakers installled in 
association with the new stereo. I am not looking for a custom sound 
system; just one that has an operational radio and cassette deck. I 
want to ask now before I go and pull everything out and make a 
complete mess of my stereo system. Thanks a lot!
