HUGE Problem, Please Help

[bigollie006 10+ year member]

I was installing a new HU a few weeks ago and this cord broke. I tried to just strip the wires and run them directly to the HU, but I didnt get any sound from the stock speakers. The speakers were 100% absolutly fine before installing the new HU, and the HU will run house speakers, so the HU is fine as well. I have taken a few pictures of the cord and maybe someone can tell em where to pick one up or what to do. It came out of a 1989 Ford Bronco 2



This is what it plugged into down by the gas pedal:

Someone please help, I cant keep rocking the house speakers

It looks like a ford Premium Sound plug.....It works sorts like a DIN type of RCA cable going to the factory amp...You'll have to use the blue/white wire on the thin rectangle power plug to get power to the amp...It may be hard to splice...the factory amp gives you crap sound over the aftermarket radio built in amp...they tend to over drive the inputs...best thing to do is re rerun new speaker wires....even though a Ford Amp Bypass wire is available I wouldn't waste the money....

Agreed, I would just run new speaker wire and start back off with a clean slate rather than worrying about factory plugs such as this

ok, I am pretty new at this, so what would I have to do to run new speaker wire? Im not sure how to even get to the wires and such
