Default EP3: Got new headunit and 6.5" speakers. What else do i need to install?

relatively new ep3 owner here.
I recently came up on a good deal on a receiver and 4x 6.5" speakers for the front and rear.
I understand that I need the in-dash kit and mounts for the fronts.

Do i need anything else to install properly? i apologize for the noob question, but trying to save a bit of money. thanks!

- mounting brackets for the front and back
- 2 pairs of speaker harnesses

you are going to need some speaker adapters for the fronts or just drill them into the door cause they dont have holes for the speaker
