Ok so its 8:52 in the evening and i am in the process of installing a cd player in my 82' GS. I don't have a mazda wiring harness so i am gonna splice everything. 1st thing..... Do you guys know what i can use for the switched power? I know constant can be used with the clock. Do you guys know what the original wiring coming from the original radio is? Like what color wire does what (hopefully i was clear)? 2nd thing....I removed the storage bins but i cannot see the stock amps anywhere...an i looking in the wrong area? My original stereo is a clarion unit so i know i must have these amps somewhere......Thanks guys in advance.

 

blue/green.. gray/white

(85) the amps are in the cubbies on the wall closest to the back of the seat.. kinda hard to explain..good luck.. have fun!

 

you are re-wireing it rite??

 

Rotary rocket has it 100% same setup on my car. Find a nice ground though.

 

blue/green.. gray/white?? Ok but what do they do...or run to i mean??

 

i THINK blue/green is switched?? just stick you tongue on them and turn the key on..

 

lol...thanks for the help

 

light green/white , red/green, and pure blue...these are the wires that i have ...the other wires are the speakers(pretty sure they are).......the first three colors anyone what they might be (a switched source maybe...)know maybe?

 

Do you not have a simple test light? Just clip the end to a ground and test the wires to see when they light up the test tool as you turn the ignition key....I'd give you the specific info you need, but I left all my stuff I was going to post on electrics for stereos at work to redo the drawings...

 

yup I agree with mar3 a test light does the trick good luck

 

Dammit....i can't find my test light

 

ok.. the switched wire is blue/Black stripe.

The left speaker is Blue/Green Stripe and Blue/White Stripe
The right speaker is Blue/Red stripe and Blue/Yellow stripe
