Re: [DML] Stereo System upgrade.

Actually the stock harness is pretty standard:
-12v unswitched (station memory)
-12v switched (unit itself)
-unit ground
-individual positive leads to each speaker
-common negative leads from each speaker, but their junction is
located only a few inches from the harness plug (high power stereos
can not share speaker return lines)

Plug and wire ID's are in lower right corner of this pic:

Note stock stereo fuses are inline, located towards the rear of the
dash right behind the unit.

Wiring a replacement stereo isn't difficult. Cutting the dash is,
especially under the A/C panel vents. Is much easier with the bracket
removed from the car. Use the finest tooth blade possible, at high
speed. Might be an excellent application for a Dremel moto tool.
