Question:

What are the different colors for on my Alpine's wire harness?

I have a Alpine CDA-9885 that I'm installing into a 1978 Toyota pickup that I'm restoring, which has never had a stereo installed in it. The only info I can find on the web about installs is for specific cars and ones that are designed and prewired for a stereo.My harness has 15 wires. Can you name what the different wires are for and if possible, a vague description of what to do with it, I've done lots of wiring but never a car stereo. (If it helps any, I have an amp I'd like to install as well to power a custom under/behind seat woofer I built.)1 yellow1 black2 green2 purple (not pink)2 blue2 white2 grey1 pink1 red1 orangeThanks so much!

Answer:

To get the flexibility going first hook interior the floor (Black cord) then the yellow, and the pink then turn your deck on and it is going to come on. sure you will desire to splice and crimp the wires jointly.
