Never have found good wiring diagrams for stereo's. Bought them and color codes didn't match. I have mitchell and alldata at work, they don't match. I wire them in with a volt/ohm meter. I find B+, Then hook ignition the the heater control wire. Ohm out the speakers. Thing is, you have infinity. You'll have to find the amp and cut the speaker wires and patch them there also, first. Just a note.. All speaker wires are twisted/paired wires. Cut the tape back 4 to 6 inches to find them. Another note. The speaker wires from the stereo to the amp will be a set of colors. From the amp to the speakers will be different colors.

The wires provided for a radio system are as follows:
yellow = hot with ignition key ON
orange = hot from BATT at all times
Grey = dimming power from instrument panel

Black = ground

Harness Wires provided for the speakers as follows:
Left rear speaker = +brown -yellow
Right rear speaker = +dark blue - light blue
Left front door speaker and tweeter = +tan - grey
Right front door speaker and tweeter = +light green -grey
Note: connection colors at the speaker location differ as noted:
Right front door = +brown -yellow
Left front door = +brown -yellow
All other speaker connections are consistent with their harness colors.
