91 camaro head unit power issues

hey i got a 91 camaro RS and last night i put a DUAL head unit in it, it gets power and all but the problem is i cant find the wire to connect so i get the constant power to retain its memory, i have a pink, orange, and grey wire left over and i've tried hooking them all up to either the red or yellow wire off the units wiring harness, any help would be appreciated.

Honestly, don't even bother tracing the wire to find the break unless you've got other electronic stuff acting up. Just run a new wire from the battery (the 'right' way) or tap into another existing hot wire (the lazy way). Either method will work fine.
