Alpine 7156 help

[RedRyder18]

I bought an old Alpine 7156 headunit from ebay, did a bench test on it and it played a cassette, volume, fast forward, and rewind was all working like it should but my display is very dim, if I shade my hand over it I can barely see the clock which looked like it was not set correctly but working. Also while getting it to play I realized that I needed a 9 pin plug that connects to the harness on the unit which it seems I cannot find, talked to a couple local guys at electronics stores and they said I could splice the wires to get it to work, but I'd like some more opinions before I start hacking it up. Thanks.

Deff,. You will be Hard Pressed/ even lucky to find the wiring plug adapter for that old unit. Id cut it off and move forward on it.

The cutting it off part is what I'm confused about now. The speakers in my car have two wires coming off of them but I would only have one wire on the stereo??
