i got my alpine 9807 head unit today and i need some info on the wires in the radio pod.

this is the Alpine manual:



i need to know what the colors of the wires are on the left column. do the colors match? my guess is they dont. i installed a car starter once on a ford car, and ALL the wires were different colors, and didnt match the harness. is there a diagram for all the functions of each wire in the radio pod?

no, i really doubt they'll match. use a volt meter to get your constant, acc, light, and whatever else you'll need. use a 9v battery to locate your speaker wires.

Easyest way is to buy a wiring harness instead of hacking up wires, unless they are already hacked. But a harness will eliminate a lot of headaches. If your harness is already hacked, you may have to search some for it, since both manuals I have don't give a positive and negative distinction, only the colors, so it's not really a big help.

Hot = Orange
ACC = Yellow
Ground = Black
LF = Grey & Tan
LR = Yellow & Brown
RF = Dark Green & Light Green
RR = Dark Blue & Light Blue

Thats according to these junk books, lol.

aight thanks alot. ill compile everything i know and then contect it up . hopefully itll work . thanks again

edit: also, im gunna use those nifty t-tap in connectors. they work wonders .

DAMNIT. i knew something had to go wrong. the front 4x6's (Infinity Kappa plate) dont fit!!! the freakin plastic air ducts are in the way

sh*t, what can i do?

Hmmmm...

How much room does it need? If there is space enough between the dash pad and the mounting area you could possibly shim them up a little. Depends on how much it needs to be brought up, without having to cut up the vents.

i dunno. the didnt seem to drop in at all....
