Upgrading 09 Fit stereo questions

I have had the center nav panel now for quite a while and I finally want to move my head unit, amp, and sub from my 4Runner to 09 Fit Sport. I want to have all the parts in advance of making the switch.

In the 09 sport stereo wires thread it looks like the Accord 08+ wire harness will work. This is the harness I plan on buying:
70-1729 plugs into car wire harness 4 new stereo;
This is antenna adapter I plan on ordering:
40-HD10 Antenna adapter cable;
Are these correct? I have a dash adapter for double din. Will I need any other adapters?

I have Kenwood 6 1/2" component speakers for front and Kenwood 6 1/2" regular speakers for back. Is there a place to buy speaker adapters for the 09 fit? I would like to hold on to the old speakers so doing mod discussed here is out of the question. In this thread there is discussion of a speaker adapter for fit:
https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...-question.html
Does anyone know where to get a speaker adapter?

Thanks for all help!

where did you get this double din dash adapter for the GE8? Last time I checked, no one could find one.

Hmmm, I'm using the one I have in my 4Runner. It was double din and I have a single din head unit. It has a shelf underneath where the radio is. It is like the one Inmyrem took pictures of. Will this not fit on the 09 Fit?

Just now seeing this as I've kinda been on vacation for awhile. I was going to go with a dual din dvd model, but opted for a non-dvd model instead to keep my little pocket for little things. I currently have the Kenwood Excelon KDC-X792 single din head unit. The controls aren't as well designed as my previous Kenwood Excelon Z828 that I was using, but the flexibility of the new unit is very nice. I listed a handful of handy part numbers here that I used for my install. Since Metra had everything I needed, I went with all Metra. The universal kit I listed has worked well. The universal kit does allow for a dual din installation as well.
