Default New audio build... what else do I need?

Hi folks! The time to replace the stock stereo system has come.

Here is what I'm planning:

Pioneer AVIC-F700BT for the head unit (no XM for now, maybe later)
Infinity Basslink to put in the hole behind the driver's seat
Infinity Reference 6022si speakers to replace the front door speakers

Beyond speaker wire (12-gauge?) and standard connectors (figured I'd get one of those "kits" that come with a bunch, since I really don't have any of that sort of thing around the house anymore)... what else do I need?

Special connectors for the sub/speakers?
Special wires for the sub (never installed one )
Anything extra to mount the sub behind the driver's seat? (car doesn't have the Bose setup)
Mounting for the speakers in the doors? Spacers needed with these ones? If so, where can i get them/are they called anything special?
And I suppose the sub will need some power - preferred cable for that?


Thank you folks.

Will this:

work out OK for wiring up the Basslink?

And does using the stock speaker mounts eliminate the need for spacers?

That'll work fine.
The stock front speakers are mounted in such a shallow spot that you will most likely need 1/4" to 1/2" spacers.

Sounds good!

Also, do I want/need the Metra kit? Is that just a trim piece to go around the outside of the face?
