thanks everyone for your help! i finally got my deck installed. i went out and bought a wiring harness by axxess. its a gm class II data bus interface for alero's from 2002-2004. my alero is a 2001 but this harness works for it as well. it comes with a little speaker that you can mount anywhere out of the way so you still get the chimes without relocating your stock deck! made life so much easier. i wasn't looking forward to wiring my old deck in my trunk. so yea, it cost me about $95 canadian and took me like no time to install.
just thought i'd let everyone know unless you already knew then this post would be pointless!
thanks again everyone
