Default 88 Bose

Hi all, this is probobaly a beat to death issue, but I am removing a bose system from my 88 and installing a standard stereo. From what I have seen, the speaker relay is attached to the power antenna line, do I have to bypass it or remove it? If so, where is it? Also, it looks like the speaker wiring is a strait shot(according to my meter), is that correct?

There a 2 pink wires, one is for amp relay, the other is for antenna relay. Don't have to worry about the amp relay, just be sure you wire you radio's antenna trigger wire to the correct pink.

Speaker wire is a straight run to amps/speakers, I opted to run new wire.

Here is the electrical schematics from my 86 FSM,

Thanks, got it. Just one wire for the amp/antenne though. Dosen't seem to effect anything and the stock wires work well.
