Ok, so i got the deck finally hooked up just bypassed the original and wired each speaker up myself, but now when I turn it on and try to turn up the volume at about 17 18 vol level it just cuts off, is this because it doesnt have enough power? Is there an easy way I can fix this problem? Any advice would help, thanks

When you connected the new speaker wires to the speakers, did you cut the original wires at the speaker so they are not still connected to the factory amp that is still in your trunk?    According to info at metra-online. com, this car requires an amp bypass plug that is 204 inches long.  The wire colors listed on that previous post are all in the trunk of your car.  If you did not use the harness, where did you get Constant and Switched power?

yeah I cut the original speaker wire and spliced into the connectors that connect to the speakers, I got the power and ground from the original wiring of the car that was hooked up to the original stereo. Im thinking I just dont have enough power for the 6 factory speakers, but im really not too good at this stuff. The deck is a 200wt 50 x 4 channels so i only hooked up 4 of the 6 factory speakers, when I turn up the volume past 20 25 it will cut off, or when the screen is open it cuts off when the volume is at about 17 18, is this just a simple problem of not having enough power??

Yes it sounds like you are not getting enough power.  Did the factory radio have an antenna plugged into it?   If it did not have an antenna, There are no high current capable wires in the harness to supply adequate power to the new deck.  You need to run the yellow wire of the radio either to the battery or to the cigarette lighter plug, that should be an orange wire. 

Can somebody confirm for me that this vehicle does have a tuner/amp in the trunk?

No, im pretty sure the factory radio didnt have an antenna plugged into it. What guage wire should I use? Im going to try this and let you know if it works, and yeah im almost positive there is a tuner/amp in the trunk, this car came with its own factory system 1 speaker/tweeter in each door (4doors) and 2 more speakers in the back

Since you've apparently already chopped off the factory wiring harness (never a good idea) perhaps THIS tutorial will help you.
