Hi Mate     The power wires in your car will be yellow, red and black. Black is obviously earth and the red and yellow are a permanent live and ignition live. Use a multi tester to find out which one is permanent live. There will then be eight speaker wires which will be four colours i.e a green one and a green with black line etc. These will fit your speaker wires on your stereo.

Hope this helps
