welcome to the site!

... but we need more info.. what year is the car? is it factory deck or aftermarket?
 
take out the plastic bezel that extends from the lights switch to the radio, it has clips, pry it out carefully and lift it over the steering wheel after you unplug the foglight switch.

X2 we need more info. some cars come factory with amps, we need to know if thats what your talking about or what kind of deck is in it now...
 
ohh its a 97 grand prix, and well i dnt think it has any bose or any other type of amp.. has a stock deck 2

you either will need a line output converter to get RCA's or an aftermarket deck. the factory deck doesnt have any RCA's.

to remove the dash bezel, you need to remove the 2 screws at the bottom of the knee bolster (plastic under the steering wheel) and then pull that piece straight out, there are clips at the top that just pop out.

after you have that removed, tilt the steering wheel down, then pull at the dash bezel that goes around the whole dash, radio and hvac controls. there are clips that will pop out here too. no screws.

once you have that removed, you can tilt the wheel to where its comfy for you to work on the car. the head unit is secured by 7mm hex head screws...may or may not have phillips screw driver slot cut in them.
 


i took a look at them.. but they're all for ones that have a factorr amp also...rite? my gp doesnt have a factory amp installed
 


no those are to add an amp to the factory system
