Thanks for the tips everyone

I ended up following deathgodusmc advice because it had to be done by today, and stores were closed so I couldnt buy the harness. (I shouldnt have sarted at 5 haha)

I ended welding the wires, it was pretty straightfoward but it took a solid 2 hours instead of 30 minutes. You have to take appart the whole lower dash to take out the radio on these good old Hondas. I also built a small wooden rim because the new stereo was smaller and you could see the wires through the lids around it.

That was a fun project though ^^

What deck did you end up going with?

A Nextar m930 that I found at the pawnshop. Heck, it was only 30 bucks and it works wonders, although there is no USB plugs or anything fancy.

You should've bought from here:
Crutchfield Canada: Car Audio, LCD TV, Home Theatre, Home Speakers

They give you the dash kit & wiring harness...for free.
