i'm trying to replace my stereo in my EA81 1985 gl

i need some wiring help

two packages of wires come out the back of the stock clarion 285-1026-00

first has black, blue, red/blue, and red/green

the second has black, gray, yellow, yellow/black, and yellow/red

seems the speakers are all grounded together

does this set up use the 12v constant and 12v ignition???

please help

I just traced and verified all my stock radio speaker wire plug connectors this past weekend. If I can remember I'll post my findings tonight.

If your replacement stereo doesn't use a common ground for the speakers, then I would recommend you run new wiring from the deck to the speaker. Its a pain in the arse, but really its the best way.

 

You may also want to probe for a constant 12V and a switched 12V for your new stereo as well. The stock stereo has a switched 12V, but im not sure if there is a constant 12V because it doesn't have a memory to store.
