so i just bought my 1987 bmw 325e and i am having some issues with the radio. when i bought it had no speakers, no headunit and there was no wiring from the factor, but wiring that went to all 4 speaker locations. my question is if i take the individual speaker wire and just wire it into the aftermarket radio harness? like poisitive left front from the speaker to the positive left on the harness? and i don't know what color the power and ground wire should be? can any one help?

Dunno if this will help but I recently stripped out my interior to run new wires through my car cause I added an amp and sub and didn't have the premium system previously. I left the 6 important wires though which can all be found behind the glovebox (assuming your's car is similar to mine LHD vs RHD). Are these what you are looking for?
