Alright... im sure that the guys here will read this and help ya, but how did you even know what components to purchase if you dont know how to put it together? Just curious since I'm researching all this myself. I put in speakers so far... (Memphis Power Referrence), but nothing else. I wnat to make sure each part compliments the next. So next is a four channel amp, probably also a memphis, just to keep consistancy. then will come a head unit, and MAYBE after that some bass, but thats really down the road. right now just want a nice crisp sound. so then i can start on body work that i need to do. heheh....

first tell us what year car or truck that you have, 2 or 4 doors, and then I can dive you step by step instructions to put them all in.

Hopefully the alpines are 6 1/2's, first start by taking off your door panels. there is two screws under little plate in door pulls. 7mm i think. and then a screw in the door handle itself. there are about 9 clips holding the front doors on, and about 6 holding back doors on. just slip a screwdriver behind door panel and gently pry all the way around the door, releasing the panels. if you break a few, don't worry, you can get 16 new clips at parts store for about 5 bucks. Wire up speakers in doors with these wires found HERE
Secondly, do you have all the necessary hardware to install the amp??? Power wire, remote wire, ground wire, fuse and fuse holder you are going to stick with factory unit for a while, you need a Line output convertor, to tap off the back speakers, or if your amp has speaker level inputs, then you are ok, just have to rund speaker wire from each speaker to the amp. if you are gng to upgrade to an aftermarket HU, then you need a set of RCA's, up to 19.7 feet long, depending on where you are mounting the amp.
Once you have all the necessary hadware, its pretty straightforward. PM me if you need more specific help.
