I can answer questions about the electronics and mathematics behind car stereos, provide information on locating wires, wire interference, gauges, etc. Since they're almost entirely subjective, asking questions about brand names may not result in the most useful answers.
I've been installing car stereos for friends and family (albeit not professionally) for 8 or 9 years. My knowledge lies mostly in the math and technical aspects: impedance, required gauges, fuse levels, frequency response, etc.

Nothing in the world sounds better than a cleanly installed, properly set up car stereo.
Most people just go for bass -- a proper system has good, clean sound through all of the audible frequency response range. Too much bass just makes it sound silly.

Hi Jennifer, There are two different harnesses for your car. One for a car that has the Infinity system, and one without. Sounds like you have the Infinity system, but didn't get that harness.
Hi Austin, No, you shouldn't need to hook those up -- it sounds like something else got disconnected in the process of installing your deck. Look around to see if maybe you accidentally unplugged something
Hi Cyndi, I have good news and I have bad news. The good news, is you can do it. The bad news is, it can be time consuming and/or expensive. I'm not aware of any plug and play adapters, so
