Jack up the paint, slip a new car underneath, and you're good to go.

I'm not familiar with your car, but a good start would be to remove the door panel. Then I'm assuming you will be running new wire from the speakers to the amp. Now the fun part, cutting your hands on sheet metal while trying to fish the wire through the rubber boot (from the door to the car) if you're not bleeding yet, you must be taking the easy (and cheesy) way out. Okay bleeding is only optional, but if its your first time, there will likely be a little bit of blood. Good luck.
