Default STFA'd, but have couple of questions

Well, stock setup sucks! So I am thinking about upgrading speakers and amps but keep the stock HU.
Here are some questions:

1. Do you guys run new or use stock wiring for speakers? How hard is to run new wiring?
2. How big of a pain in the *** is fitting 6 1/2's into front and rear doors?
3. Does aftermarket setup with stock HU sound good or do I need to hook up a line output converter?

Things I have:
6 1/2 inch Diamond component speakers
6x9 Diamond speakers
2 Sony amps with custom rack
2 12 inch MMATS subs + custom enclosure
AudioControl LC6 line output converter

TIA

Default if you're going to do it, rewire everything. shouldn't be that difficult if you can remove some

screws and reach under carpets...

Default you'd be much better to run 5.25" speaks

they will still require some adapting depending on the speaker. 6.5" are hard to fit.

I have an account up in Washington that remolded the entire front door panel to fit the MB Quart signature series 6.5"

It sounded good, but looked akward.

6.5's are hard to fit? Not quite, they are impossible to fit to a B5 without custom door builds
