I have had the exact same problem with my Grand Prix stalling all the time. The worst was when it stalled in the middle of an intersection. I went and had a diagnostic check done and it came back as the fuel pump (already replaced) and the fuel regulator (not replaced yet). Those are the two main reasons the car was stalling on me.
As for the stereo, I plan to install my CD player in my car and I have a feeling it is going to be harder than I thought it would be. The stereo is all one unit with the rest of the console so that worries me a bit. If you haven't had a diagnostic check done, it might be a good idea!
