I need tunes

I've already screwed the electrical system (headlights) once in my old Rx putting in a stereo. Now I have one with a pristine interior and I'd hate to do bad again trying to bypass the EQ and amp. What is the best way to wire this beauty so I can listen to some tunes?

My friend Eric just figured out which were constant positive, switched positive, and ground. He used those to properly power his new cd/dvd/mp3 deck, and ran brand new wires to his new amp, which had new wires running to his new speakers. Since he did it with an extra connector, the stock wiring stayed intact and didn't cause any problems. He can even put everything back together if he needs to.

If you want to keep it without cutting wires. You will need a constant power from battery(fused no more then 18" from the battery) a good ground and a switched power. Since our cars do not have all the fancy electronics you can use a 12 volt light probe to find you switched. You will then need to run new 16 gauge speaker wire to all of your speakers (the stock wires are small and probably corroded) Its really easy!
