Ok, lots of questions here, so let's see if I can help. First, you should be able to locate a service manual for your car somewhere. That's probably your best bet for determining how to remove door panels. Unfortunately, I have a newer coupe, so the way I removed my door panels is certainly not the same.

Second, for the amp, it would be helpful if we could have a model number. Try to find it and get us that info. I can't say I've ever heard of Legend, so it'll be tough for me to guess at what you currently have.

Finally, we'll be able to help a whole bunch more if you give us a better idea of your budget. I understand being in school still, however, different students will still have differing ideas of "cheap". All of this info would help greatly when it comes to me being able to give some recommendations.

Oh im sorry i should of been more clear. I really dont want to use the legend amp i have its not a such a good name brand i bought it long time ago its about 1000 watts, and i already have a plies 500 watts subwoofer. However i want to start from scract i dont want to use those. The original system in the car sounds really good that is why i never added the subwoofer and amps. I read some forums and it seems to say as if scosche amp comes with the car is it true? i opened up the dash but didnt see it... all i saw was just the whole piece radio. Now i saw everyone adding aftermarket nav. I would really like that. If i install and aftermarket navi,dvd, and cd what would i have to do i would have to change the speakers for the car too ryt? so you recommend me how i should do the system if i put a after market navi on. i dont think its neccessary to put more amps and big speakers in the trunk... the way im seeing things now is a indash navi w speakers what do you suggest. and i heard about 2 ohm and 4 ohms and all that so im guessin if i put a aftermarket navi ill have to change the speakers in it?
