Question

Answer 1

Besides the speakers there is a yellow wire which is the constant, a red which is the power, a black which is the ground.  blue is a remote, orange is the dimmer.

Answer 2

You'll have a constant power wire (for memory pre-sets and clock), a switched power (power is only live when the key is on), and a ground. There may be a trigger wire for a power antennae and any amplifiers. There will also be a plug in for your antenae. You know the speaker wires, all wires should be indicatd by colour on some sort of decal, or each wire should be marked.
