Question:

Installing CD Deck and using wire harness.?

I have a 93' Ford Explorer 4x4 that I am going to install subwoofers and an amp in. I don't have a problem with those it's the wiring of the new CD deck that I need help with. I tried to install the new deck once before, by hard wiring it(I'm keeping the vehicle so I didn't really care if it came back out.) but we came across the power cord the truck has that hooks up to the stock casset player. it's a kinda thick looks like aluminum wire with rubber cover. We just put the stock back in till we figured what to do. What kind of wiring harness do I need to get to install the new CD Deck? and any tips in doing so? Thanks a lot D-

Answer:

once you pair up the speaker wires its not that bad. 2 gray and 2 green. 2 purple and 2 white. theres your four speakers. the ones with a black stripe are ground and the solid colors are positive. next is power. red to red, always hot. yellow is ignition hot. and blue if your using a power antenna. if it doesnt pop up when you turn the radio on just tape this wire out of the way. now just hook the black wire to an electrical ground, this can be a wire or a metal surface on the car. plug in the antenna, you will need an adapter since its a gm. (2-3$) and your all set. IMPORTANT: ground and speakers THEN power. otherwise you riskletting the smoke out of the box as we say in the industry.
