Help Me Please
Hey I've got the stock radio and bezel and everything but I want to make a new custom kind of bezel so I can put in a new stereo and things. how can i go about making one or finding one that would fit? my interior is black (well gray now) and i was thinking about a silver metal type of a thing. i also have a couple speakers in custom made boxes that i put in the hatch facing the back of the seats and i'd like to run the wire somewhere so i can use them.. what should i hook them into? the wires in the door? stock speakers don't work, i think the wires were chewed cuz i've found nests. all of them are cleaned out now though. someone help me out please! thanks!

First, learn how to make better posts titles instead of just "Help Me Please". That is very ambiguous and you won't get anyone looking at your post.
Do you not know how to wire in a stereo? We need to know a few things to help you with. Are you running an aftermarket stereo or factory?
Either way you will need to look at the wiring harness for the radio and find which wires are for which speakers. I recommend to just replace your stock speaker wire and ditch these that are in your boxes. Not fixing your car and just adding other cheap temporary fixes is a very very cheap solution. Sorry bud but that is distasteful. To do this just get some regular speaker wire, take a look at which wires from the harness go to the appropriate speakers and wire them accordingly.
As for the bezel...I wouldn't try to do this yourself if you don't even know how to change your speaker wire. Take it to a professional.
Better yet, take this to a professional and get all this work done. Wouldn't be too expensive. I recommend going ahead and buying speakers that fit in your door as well as well as a new head-unit. Take it all to a stereo installer and get them to install it. If you have a proper sized head-unit then I don't think you will need a new bezel.

Right now I've still got the stock radio and I do know how to wire it. I guess I'll just go ahead and have a pro do it someday. Right now I just wanted a little easier fix until I could get someone else to make it good because I don't have the cash for it right now and probably won't for a little while. My car has alot of work that is needing to be done. Thanks for the help and tips
