spazomatic Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 anybody out there know which stereo wires do what in my car's wiring? ignition hot is easy, ground's easy, constant hot I'll add to it. but for the speakers, what color are the one's running to the rear, pos and neg? I did do a search, but my halfass attempt came up empty. somebody help a guy out who's not talented enough to track down this info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 there is a common ground. there are 6 wires to all 4 spakers. both rears share a ground, both fronts share a ground. the aftermarket radio will connect 6 of these waire. leave one front ground, and one rear ground unused on the stereo.

BEECHBM69 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 When I did mine, a search revealed newer radios don't like the common ground thing, and it was recommended to run new speaker wires, which I did. Just an FYI. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really hoping I could just splice it in to the exisiting wiring and be done. aw well, think I'll put some speakers in the front doors, and uphgrade the rears while I'm at it.
