pull the radio, amp, speakers and put in all new. No need to replace the wiring to speakers as they will be copper anyway. Put amp in same location as factory, wire up speakers & HU. Once all done...recycle the old stuff. Fixing factory is still only going to give you factory quality, which isn't that great to begin with even when new. Add rear speaker tray and sound gets even better. I have put the Bose sub tray in as well as all my other cars having the standard factory tray. Night and day difference.

I also make speaker brackets for the dash & rear speaker tray that didnt require any cutting and make things look just like OEM.

Lots of write ups on this as well as some youtube videos
