Aftermarket stereo wiring and OEM rear speaker wires??
Couple of questions!!
1.Rear speaker wires?
I got a good deal on a set of 5.25 components for the truck, so I'd like to install them this weekend. I was wondering, where do I start searching for OEM rear speaker wires? The truck never had them, but as I've found with other vehicles, they route the wires back there even though nothing gets hooked up at the factory.
2. Unused wires once deck is installed?
I pulled the aftermarket deck out and rewired it. The previous owner had the power and accessory wired together so the deck would stay on with the headlight switch, and everything was twisted and taped together, not soldered the way I like to do it. Anyway, I have a few wires left astray. I hot glued the ends of them and just zip tied them for now, but can they be used in this truck?
1. orange dimmer wire
2. orange "illumination" wire
3. blue power antenna ( I dont have one, but can it be used for something else? )
4. brown "mute" wire
5. Remote wire ( I'll use this one when the subs get put in)
6. Black ground wire- dont use this one?
I fixed the OEM ground to the back of the deck with a screw, so I assume this eliminates the need for the black ground wire.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
