Unsure of attempting DIY install of stereo system

Whats up folks. I've been going through here for a while now trying to find ideas and information on installing aftermarket audio items in my Titan. Let me say there is alot of good info here and you guys have some great installs. I want to attempt this myself but I'm unsure if I want to. I've installed aftermarket head units, speakers, and amps in most of my previous rides but they were fairly easy. Just looking at the interior of the my truck just makes me think its harder than it looks. So I have a few questions maybe some of you can help me with:

What size speaker is in the dash? Is it a 2" tweet?

How difficult is it to remove the h/u cover and door panels....(I've broken my share.)

Can you mount the amps behind the back seat in the CC model?

How's the electrical system in the Titan?

Anyone have a ported box for 10s under their back seats without a lift mod?

Just some of the questions I have been pondering.

Looking to stick with the factory h/u for use of the cd changer and aux input. Looking at the (2) Powerbass ES10DS Dual 2s for subs, and the Crunch GP 2500D for the sub amp. I was considering the Tang Band 6x9 woofers for the front door and the 2" Tang Band Drivers for the dash(If they fit). I'm sure the REQ will be a purchase and the Crunch GP 2250 2ch for the front stage(will need a crossover in order to use a 2 ch for 4 speakers). Last but not least I will go with a box built by Tech12Volts(will contact in the near future).

I know its alittle different and many may say go a different route but I would like to try something completely different for this.

Look forward to hearing your inputs!

Not sure about the tweets - havn't done my yet, but coming soon..

It takes some time the first time, but once you've done it you can have the h/u out in less then 3 minutes with a single flat screwdriver (to pop the bezel) and a 10mm nut runner. Door panels are slightly more involved, but I can have that off in under 5 minutes now too (5 bolts and a bunch of snaps.)

Yes to amps behind seat - other have done it (I have a kc). Beware of the power window stuff though...

With the electrical, the biggest hangup I've read about here is using a common ground for everything to prevent ground loop feedback. Otherwise, you're gonna be running your own amp power wires so it doesn't really matter.

I'll defer to Tech on the box question...

YOu can do a single 10 with less than 6 inches of mounting depth without a lift. But 2 is not an option
