speaker wiring
I have a 79 and I would like to have an idea of the speaker wire colors before I start replacing things. I can find the front, but in the back all I have is wires. any help is appreciated. Thanks.

In either event, the green wire is (+) and the green/black is (-) for one of the speakers; gray (+) and gray/black (-) for the other. That seems to be a common convention for [modern] rear speaker wiring. That might indicate that your rear speakers & wiring were added later by a car radio shop.
