These are OEM wires. I yanked the harness with aftermarket crap and tossed it. Guess I should have mapped where they all went, but I would have no idea with the technicolor spaghetti that was hooked all over the place. I only want to hook and old pioneer 8 track head unit with simple wires. IT has power in, common neutral for speakers and left & right speaker power. I have the original stereo wires ready to hook noise to, but want to know which of the brown/blue/RG goes to power and if antenna needs power.
