As I recall, (don't quote me) there is a pair of white wires in there, (mine
were all cut off) I connected both to the remote terminal on the head unit,
and used  the rear antenna (I think both do fm, but only one does am, don't
know which), is this a typ 89? How did you get 5.25" up front? (pods?) my 4"
would only just fit , but I got 7" speakers in the rear deck, and they sound
great!!!!!

ooh, ooh!  I don't think I noticed the antenna amplifier wire.  Looks
like I'll need to check the wiring diagram to see what I missed.....

I assume the wire is connected to the back of the stock radio as opposed
to being powered in a roundabout way via the rear speakers?

that's not a problem, the rest of my sound system is all set (new 5.25"
speakers w/amplifier mounted under the passenger seat).  I get great
sound when I play CDs, just terrible audio over the radio...


Thanks for the info!
