Shaggin' Wagon Audio Problem

[JaimeBarney]

ok.....so i have a 1971 Chevy G-Series conversion van that I'm slowly but surely turning into the ultimate roadtrip party machine. now comes the audio problem....i ripped out the old AM radio and was ready to install a Blaupunkt New Orleans CD125, and I'm having a problem. The old connector to the AM radio, i believe it's called the wire harness, has like 3 pin-connector things in the plastic wire harness....1 to the battery and 2 to the single speaker. This plastic harness plugs into the back of the AM radio fine, but my new CD player is going to need one with many more connections...like some that go to speakers that i will install and so forth( the picture is of the wiring of my CD player. Now the question is, can i get this piece and wire it all up myself, or do i need a custom one made or do i need this professionally done? I also have a 10 disc Sony Disc Changer EXCD-1RF that i'd like to install, and I'm going to buy an amp and subs.....will anything need to be changed if i have these installed? any help would be greatly appreciated //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

From what i have gathered its just an imput for 1 speaker ?

You might want to search online for a wiring harness for your van

Scosche and Metra make them.

no....one speaker is what the old AM radio had. i have 4 speakers and i want to install all of them

and you're going to have to run wires to each speaker.... connect each speaker to white... grey... green... and purple... red goes to 12v switched... yellow goes to a constant 12v... and ground the black wire...

yeah, but where can i get a harness that will plug into the back of my blaupunkt (is it universal?) and also wire up to everything in my van?

you didn't buy the radio new? if not... check ebay... or call blaupunkt themselves and order one...

I dont see anything online for that old of a vehicle.

You are probabably better off making your own.

my uncle threw me the cd player as a bonus for doing sum landscaping at his house.....didnt come with any wires...

oh....how can i make my own, since it needs to plug into the plastic slot? doesnt it need to properly fit?

i searched around and that harness LOOKS like a jvc harness... check your local circuit city and ask an installer for a jvc harness... i'm sure he'll sell you one for like $10

I picked up an old cd player for 5 bucks, without the harness. Turns out it used the same style connector as the powersupply connection to a motherboard.

then I emailed someone on ebay that was selling a similar unit on ebay for the pin connections since the wire colors didnt correspond.
