Stereo hookup? (1 Viewer)

[forrestvt]

Picked up another cruiser a couple months ago. It is a 60 with 3FE engine put in by one of the POs. Drives decent, great around the town/off road beater with a heater but the problem is there is no stereo! Didnt mind at first but a man needs his tunes! Pulled open the dash but it is a bit of an electircal nightmare in there with cut wires etc. There is a cable running from the battery to the unit and so the unit turns on, speakers are all connected but I cant find any return wire from the stereo back to the vehicle. I tested the stero unit and it works. I am no electrical wiz but feel like a dumba$$ for not being able to figure this out. Ideas anybody?

Cheers!

On my 60 the harness that went to the factory headunit had 5 wires total, a ground (-), accessory power (+), LF speaker (+), RF speaker (+), and a common ground between both speakers. I found it better sound quality to just run completely new speaker wire all the way from headunit to speakers.
