DIY sound system install

ok, so I wanna know the difficulty of a DIY sound system, i plan on replacing the front speakers, putting a amp for the speakers and another one for a sub woofer(maybe 7-8 inch) btw i have the cheapest audio system, no hifi no harman kardon. also i plan on replacing the rear speakers after i get a lil more money.

Ived searched around the forums, but i havent found anything on dificulty and the steps or precautions i should take.

Thank you!

Look on YouTube for taking off the door panel.

I have cheapest radio, also...I don't see anything easy about this head unit. I'm probably going to do this in stages (replacing the stock speakers), first.

I'm also modding my suspension, exhaust, air intake, interior, & exterior on my new Justa Roadster...

Check out my car audio page on Facebook. I've got some pics that will give you a good idea of some of the processes involved. I didn't get pics of the install of the rear speakers, but they were pretty much plug and play after you get the panel off.
