How do I find parts to allow me to install an aftermarket stereo in my 2001 Subaru

wiring harnesses are only made to take the stock connector, and convert it to open wires so the colors match to wire it up to ur aftermarket harness, you wont find one that goes directly from the stock wiring harness, to plug into you aftermarket head unit,. Get the stock wiring harness for your vehicle, and some electrical tape, than match up the colors, its only 11 wires, 12 if you have an amp, so its not that hard!! Have Fun.... Antenna adaptors are always the same ( to my knowledge ) and the head unit should have the correct plug, speaking of that 13 wires if you have power antenna :))

Forester? I purchased the Sony CDX-GT510 stereo, and am looking to pick up the accessories to install it. I know I need two wiring harnesses, but on www.crutchfield.com, I can only find the one for my car, not the one for my stereo. Alternatively, I could just connect the wires the old way, I guess. Also, how do I know what antenna adapter I need? And where do I get a mounting bracket or pocket? Supposedly the Forester doesn't have a vehicle-specific one. Has anyone done this themselves before and have advice to offer? The price of the stereo was all I can afford to spend, or else I'd pay someone to install it.
