Default Radio Wiring Schematic

I am trying to figure out which color wires are for what on the stock connector.

Specifically, I swapped out the door speakers and ran my own wires and had an aftermarket unit installed.

I am going back to stock radio, and want to keep my speakers. So I need to know which colors on the stock connector are the + and - for front left speaker and front right, so I can splice my wires to the stock connector.

If you know, or can tell me where to look for it, I would appreciate it. Thank you.

If I understand you right, you are not going back to the stock Bose door speakers?????

If you ARE then you should be able to just reconnect the old connectors in the doors, plug in the radio connector and move on.

If you are NOT going back to the stock Bose then you have another problem,,,the stock head unit doesn't put out enough power to drive aftermarket speakers. The stock speakers have amps built into them.

Good Luck

Thanks for the offer DeeGee, but I think I figured it out. I found some after enough searching in the audio section.

I kept my aftermarket speakers and was able to splice my speaker wire in to the terminal connector, and it seems to sound fine. I don't really hear any issues.

If anyone is interested, I'll repost after I play around with them some more and get some quality listening time.
