Its not too difficult, most manufactures (except standard parts) will have labels on each wire.
so its a matter of matching each wire with the correct one on the new loom, If you wanna get picky you can solder your new loom wire to the old loom, which makes sure there is a good link and minimises resintance.
The main wires you will need to match up
+12V (usually Red or yellow and has a fuse on it rated 3A)
Ground (Usually black, sometimes contains multiple black wires)
Accessory (Usually Yellow or Red)
Amp Trigger (if applicable, can trigger electric arial too, usually Pink or Blue)
you can check these wires with a multimeter they should read
+12v
0v
0v when no key i nthe ignition, 12v (i think) when accessory is on
6-12v only when the head unit is on.
obviusly then you need to do the positive and negative for all the speakers, I might be wrong, but im 99% sure it doesnt matter if you mix up the positive or negative

True and not true, the speaker will still work but if you have two speakers and each wired out of phase with the other the sound will suffer. Best to match them up properly.G_A_V wrote: obviusly then you need to do the positive and negative for all the speakers, I might be wrong, but im 99% sure it doesnt matter if you mix up the positive or negative

Stereo is in!
I very nice guy (cute too) named Vince who works at XTC motors in Northcote came over and did it.. hes a friend of a friend but I recommend him DEFINITELY. He did a really thorough job, he took care of everything, and he knew exactly what he was doing.
He has an Alfa with a twin turbo too.. pretty sweet..
