did you use an volt/ohm meter to make sure they are no cut by the PO and also you have the right positive lines?

tried both the brown wires and it didn't turn on.

brown with black stripe. is ground, take you pic one which one. the one on the right looks like one for a ground for a switch light.

im sure someone on here can give you a more direct answer than me, but when all else fails i whip out the volt meter. :)

I already read the radio wiring sticky and printed out the diagram but I cant find a ground wire thats the only one I cant find the PO ran new rear speaker wire but left the old wires in the loom at the deck.

I know it should be brown or brown with black but I have two brown with black and I think those are the old rear wires.

Here is a picture of the wires I have at the dash.
