Owning a 96 Aspire, and being a mobile electronics installer, this answer is 100% correct. Unless ur installing a crappy JVC or Jensen head unit (which have an abundance of wiring on the back) you should be able to stuff the wires behind the stereo fairly easily.
This is the way I did it personally when I put my aftermarket CD player in it. Got my stereo pullers (about 4 dollars at Wal-Mart), yanked the old one out, wired up the stereo to the adapter, hooked it up to the car, and when you've got everything hooked up, if you reach behind everything, there's a little crook to stuff all the wires in. I just did that and it fit like a dream. Granted, I had to get my girlfriend who has smaller hands than me to do it for me, but still.
buy an instalation kit and match the wires color for color
remove the speaker covers from fear deck. remove the four screws that hold the speakers in the rear deck. four screws hold each speaker in place. unplug the wires from the connecters. if aftermarket speakers cut after plug and splice new speaker wires into existing factory wires. reverse the procedure to install new speakers.
Security is in the deck. You will be replacing it with a new deck so the security features in the old deck will not be a problem.
The deck has to be a aftermarket deck. On the wiring harness, you will see a blue wire that says rem. Hook it up there and you should be good
you have to remove the pastic face plate that surrounds the radio unit, (few screws) once done remove the face plate, and should have 2 bolts holding the radio in undo those and pull out radio then disconnect wires accrodingly

yes as long as it has the amp remote and the two audio cables
You have to buy the wiring harness for the new deck the connect the corresponding wires
Ive installed some aftermarket decks in late model mazda's , try wiring your own ground to get the dash lights back... seems the wire that the factory deck grounded with acts as a relay or something with a negative signal running through it
That depends. There should be two red power wires on the back of an aftermarket deck. One will be 'constant' power, the other will be 'switched' power. The 'constant' one always has power, so that radio stations and other settings aren't erased when the vehicle is turned off. I'm assuming you're not using an adapter harness to connect the aftermarket deck directly to the GM radio harness.(always the preferable option) Most of the time(when not using an adapter harness) I will locate a pre-existing wire in the dash that is 'constant', and tap into that for the 'constant'. The 'switched' power can be connected to the factory radio's 'switched' power source. You'll have to figure out which wire that is in the GM harness and connect to that, or (not so ideally) cut that wire and connect it to the deck.
the rem slot on your amp to the rem trigger on your deck (blue wire on most aftermarket desks)
