Dave,
I did an install on my daughters 92 244 a couple of months ago. I purchased all the stuff from Crutchfield. The wiring harness they give you will bypass the amp; I left it in the car. It's a pretty easy install. Make sure that you unplug the connector (rectangle plug) at the amp. I unplugged the one by the drivers right knee behind the panel and it took me a couple of hours to figure out the one on the amp itself was the one I wanted. The speakers must be 4" and of the correct depth (3 7/8"?) or the grills won't fit properly. I had to use some spacers on the fronts to get a good, tight fit but it was no big deal. If I remember correctly the back grills fit without a problem. I put some component speakers (with the seperate tweeters)in the front and regular two-ways in the back. Again an easy install for the seperate tweeters because they give you some different mounting hardware pieces; just had to drill a couple of holes into the door panel after it was removed. When the job was completed the system sounded pretty good but had zero bass. I bit the bullet and bought a JL 10" subwoofer in a custom box, to fit on the trunk shelf, a 350 watt amplifier to drive it and viola, $550 bucks later I've got bass. I did let Sound Advice do the subwoofer install and they did a great job. Anyway, with some patience, the helpful people at crutchfield and some beer you can do it yourself in a few hours.
good luck!
