HI -

I have a 1986 244GL with an aftermarket Pioneer in it, installed by the PO.

The factory wiring is a 9-position connector, and no rear speaker wiring. The factory head unit plugs into the 9-pin connector, has DIN connectors for an equalizer and a 2-XXwatt amp for the rear speakers. (XX = 15, 20 or more.)

The positons are numbered, you may need to just ID the wires by their color code. Here are the wires that go into the 9-position connector:

#1 GN....Fuse #8 for constant power.
#2 SB....Fuse #1 for switched power.(SB = black) Other SB is for trunk release.
#3 R.....Power antenna or amp power.
#4 Y-W...Loudspeaker, front left, positive.
#5 GR-Y..Loudspeaker, front right, positive.
#6 Vacant
#7 W.....Loudspeaker, front left, negative.
#8 GR....Loudspeaker, front right, negative
#9 SB....Ground connection

It is easy to run speaker wires to the trunk. The black plastic door thresholds come off with a hard pull at one end or the other. Then run the wires under the carpet and under the rear seat and into the trunk.

Hope this helps.

Bob
