help with car stereo install in fish house

[kapp]

have a pioneer premier car stereo head I took out of my last truck

unit was new in 2002. i want to mount this in my fish house. seems to me there are a lot of extra wires for this application. do i need a wiring harness? can i just run a wire from the battery to the unit and be done?

i think the yellow wire is the 12 volt connection wire but where is the second wire or negative wire? do i need a second wire?

any help will be much appreciated.

thanks

I think when I did it last year I took the yellow and red wire hooked them together and ran those to the positive and the black wire to negative. As far as speakers go there usually two the same color with one of them having a black line running down it.

Hopefully this helps you, if nobody else writes in to help ya out i'll run out and look in my house to better help.

I would do as the guy above mentioned putt the batt cable (yellow) and acc power (red together. every time you disconnect the battery it will clear out all your settings but it shouldn't matter. Ground the unit with the (black) and then hook up the speakers should be green pair, white pair, grey pair, and purple pair. All the other wires you will not need so just cap them off. You can get an antenna on an online auction site that you can just run up and put near a window or something look around there are tons of options for radio antennas in cars that you just glue on the window or hide in the wall. You can get an just exterior one if your worried about getting great signal but I would just mess around with some other options before you put a hole in the house to run it outside.

That is right! As I just did mine.

Yellow is constant so have that one hooked to a fuse then the battery if you want to maintain settings/presets/etc, red is accessory meaning that one is the one you break in order to turn it off. I wired the red to a switch in my house (also fused). Otherwise your stereo will always be on when the battery is hooked up. Black is negative/ground.
