Yeah you bypass the amp anyway so that's the one you'll want.
I got my head unit from Crutchfield, safe to say I'll go that same route for future projects. They include the wiring harness, installation manuals, and the extra pocket for double-din slots FOR FREE.

I got my head unit for $90 cheaper on Amazon vs Crutchfield so I'm ok with buying a $7 harness.

One last question guys. My Metra harness has a wire labeled power antennae, but I don't see one on my Pioneer HU harness. What wire did you use to activate the power antennae?

It's been so long since I've fooled with one, but I believe you would hook the Remote wire up to it any vehicle with a power antenna, if it doesn't already have its own separate wire. If you are running an amp, it would have to be tied into it as well. The remote wire basically just sends a small signal to whatever device it's hooked up to, to trigger a relay so it will power on.

Does a stock 2000 head unit have an aux input on the back? I want to use my iPod via cable.

Correct. If the HU doesn't have a specific line for the power antenna, hook it up to the remote line.

Then route a switch inline so your power antenna isn't up when you are listening to CD's or any AUX sources. One of the things i LOATHE about Pioneer line up.

I'm actually doing that today (time permitting). My old JVC deck would only raise the antenna with the radio, but my current Eclipse deck puts it up anytime it's on. Can't listen to anything when on any sort of overgrown trail.

Got mine installed this weekend
Everything went smooth, with this unit the antenna only raises for the radio, when you switch to cd, dvd, or anything else the antenna goes down. The factory speakers really came to life and it sounds a hundred times better!

Got my HU installed and also wired up the speakers but couldn't find a great place to mount the crossovers. Anyone know of a good place to put them?

They are probably about 2" x 3". You can mount them anywhere I believe.

There's really no need to remove the amp, but you do need to unhook the wire harness that's goes into it to connect it to the new one. I just left the amp in there when I did my install a couple months ago.
