Factory Stereo Upgrade Considerations
Officially, Saturn will recommend that you do not install aftermarket electronics of any kind. This is generally universal of all auto manufacturers. At the minimum, you should probably wait until the 30-day guarantee has expired before adding anything.

General Information
Generic car audio questions, such as "which speaker will sound best in my Saturn," or "how do I hook up my amp to my speakers with special cables" are best answered by your local friendly car audio store or on the rec.audio.car newsgroup.

Installation in a 98 SC2
An in-dash CD deck, standard DIN size. A really big 6-channel amp on the backs of the back seats. A pair of 6 1/2" coaxials in adapter plates on the rear deck. 6 1/2" midbases in adapter plated in the doors.

Installing A New Headunit
This pertains to pre-1996 Saturns. Again, Saturn used something that isn't quite standard for GM. The radio Saturn uses is a standard size (width and height) for GM, which is close to a double DIN opening.

Replacing 1996-1999 Rear Speakers
The rear deck speaker setup has changed slightly from the first generation sedans. Gone are the rear deck grilles, which allowed easy replacement in the very early models.

Replacing Front And Rear Speakers
Removing the door and rear speakers is easy. You'll need a Torx type screwdriver, preferably a Torx bit set and a universal handle.

Wiring Issues
Luckily, Saturn used standard GM plug connectors in for speakers, antenna, and audio head unit wiring. Your aftermarket unit will have bare wires from the factory, and the speakers will have spade lug connectors.
