I'm planning on replacing my stock radio/cassette player (the thin type
with the cubby hole beneath) with the big thick Infinity
radio/cassette/CD player = model MR225577.

My questions are:

Does the big radio require the underseat amplifier I see occasionally
advertised on ebay, or will it work as a standalone unit?

Will my existing mounting bracket and bezel work with the new radio?

I'm trying to get all this figured out BEFORE I start pulling out the
console.

My car is a '97 GS with the 6 speaker system (2 on dash, 2 in doors, and
2 in rear panels).

Thanks for any info you can provide.

Gary, the Infinity radio does require an amplifier. On the Eclipse, it is
mounted under the passenger seat and is a little toy of an amp. Since the
Infinity system is marginal, you may wish to look at other options. You'll
have no problems finding an excellent condition CD/Receiver on ebay for less
than $100 that will best the Infinity.
When the stock head unit died in my GSX, I tossed the entire system in the
garbage and bought some really nice used stuff CHEAP.
Try lurking here for ideas:

I found out that a Precision Power A600 fits perfect in the factory amp
location!
