black for ground

red for constant 12 volts

yellow for accessories,or memory...

then you should have 8 colored wires for the speakers

1 gray-1 gray with black line,the one one with the black line is always the negative side of the speaker...

1 brown-1brown with black line

1 green,1 green with black line

1 purple,1purple with black line

there migh be some white,and a white with black line replacing the purple

they usualy go like this

the two greys and the two white for the front...

the two greens and the two purples fro the back...

to find wich side and wich speaker the wiring drives,take a 9 volts battery and touch the 2 wires with it,then you ll ear the sound from the speaker that the wires comes from...

after that,you should have 2 wires left...

the orange for illumination,wich makes the radio light dim with the lights of the car..

and the blue one,for electric antenna,wich you dont need,and you use it if you install an amplifier,as the remote wire....

dont forget the big black wire,with a male end,wich is the antenna of the car...

now you should be good to go buddy!(second)
