All this is from looking at the speaker connection end, I haven't begun the
head unit replacement yet, so tracing the wires from the back of that was
not an option. Although, knowing how these thing usually go, its not too
likely their will be alot of info at the back of the Radio/Cass.
None of the wires were Red or Black (that would be too simple). I remember
the Rt Frnt was a Blue with Red Stripe and a Purple, so I used the Blue/Red
as the + lead. Rt. Rear, the wires had a yellow strip on one and a white
stripe on the other (used the white as +). Can't recall what the left side
wires were.
Taking to a shop today to look at options for Head unit/CD, might just have
to have them check the speakers if/when they install the other parts.
Thanks,
Duff
