Stereo Wiring

[moe30]

So I finally after 8 mos have decided to tackle the nightmare of installing a radio in my e30.

The PO did a hack job and made a mess... so now I'm trying to straighten it out.

I have an 87 325es. I thought it had premium sound but it looks like its been wiring differently...

I won't be wiring the factory amp (since its gone) and won't be wiring the tweeters. I am needing help determining what the diagram is.

This is what I have so far (off stereoinstallers sticky)

Edit: so I just found my speaker wire... Looks like the PO ran all new speaker wire to speakers... Grand.

Red/Green ?
Blue/Red RF+
Yellow/Blk FR+
Blue/Blk RR+
Yellow/Red LF+
Brown/Blk x2 Ground
Purple/Grey +12v Acc
Grey/Red ?
White x2 P Ant

Oh also I won't be wiring an antenna since I removed it (I despise radio)

Also had a yellow wire and blue wire (both solid colors) just fall out of my dash... so yeah.

Is this looking correct or no? Any help is very very appreciated.

Thanks,
Josh

i dunno if they are all the same, but theres a thread on m42club, in the how to section written by sheepdog that worked perfect for me....its worth a look

You can do a battery pop test to see which wires go to the speakers. Then use a multimeter to determine which wire is a constant 12v and which is a switched 12v.
