ok go to put my new deck rip out the dash and such normalstuff
then hook up the red "supose to be power source
but it turns out to be one of the matchin pairs of wire i
thought was a speaker set soild blue and blue with a white stripe
blue and white strip turns out to be the powere source ,

then i followed the red "so called power wire" and it goes to the
fuse box so it should be the power wire. Checked the fuse with
the red wire it was burnt
so why do i have 2 power source wires now
and theres only one matchin pair of speaker wires the rest are like 8 million diffrent colors
im not a wiring guy so im quite confused

so basically my main questions are

1. why do i have 2 power source wires
2. if i ignore the power wire that blue and hook it up as a speaker
will it fubar anything?
3. should i go trial and error and find the right wires
or should i rip out all the wires and run new speaker wires to
the speakers since theres power to the speaker wire seems
wrong to me

go to www.installdr.com and find out the correct colour codes for you make and model.

There isn't standard wire colour codes between manufacturers of vehicles. There is a stand in the audio world so you have to find out what does what and match them.
