    IIRC, gray is one side, green is the other, and the black stripe is the same for each side in the rear. All of them ground off a common ground, but not the body ground, you have to run a ground from the radio to each speaker. I'm not 100% sure on this, so I'd bench test it before I mounted it in the car....

    My guess is that some wires have been cut off. Pioneer's don't have a common ground. It would have individual grounds. My guess is the wires with the black on them are the ground wires for the speakers.

    Nope not cut off. Nice rubber grommets out the back of the radio with all the wires intact. Put a post on a car audio site and so far looks like Pioneer used a common ground pre 1988.:huh:
