    Find the original power loom for the stock unit.
    There should be a 8~10 socket plug that powered the original unit.

    You will need..
    Red -Ignition/Acc power
    Orange - Constant 12v (for clock/memory)
    Black - Earth/Ground

    Been a while since I did mine, so best google the colouring as IIRC, the constant may be yellow on the factory loom.

    Invest in a $3 test lamp to double check.
    Make sure ALL your wiring is insulated - heatshrink>terminal blocks>electrical tape.

    Rears - run your spkr cables under the scuff panels ( the black strips )
    Fronts - drilling from pillars and doors is a PITA- use grommets and a sharp drill - pilot 1st.

    Just a guide to get your brain on track.

    As always, Your Mileage May Vary!
