Yes, the Crutchfield harnesses are great for installing aftermarket
head units.  I used one in my previous car ('91 Honda Civic) and it made
everything a snap.  They used to sell them for under $10, but now I think
they only give them to you with the purchase of a stereo; that's too bad.

What I need is an in-line harness extender so I can tap into the speaker
leads (to insert a power amp), so I can still use my factory head unit
without cutting the factory wiring harness.  Anyone know if something like
this is available?

You know, it seems like one could simply find out who the OEM for the
stereo connectors is, order the parts, and construct a custom harness.  Any
idea how to go about this?
