Identification of original wiring to car radio/stereo

The radio/stereo in my 1986 Honda Civic (4 speaker system) was stolen and the original wiring harness was cut in the process.
I need to identify the ''color code'' of the wiring in order to install another radio/stereo properly.
Can you provide a wiring diagram???

No wiring diagram needed go cut a plug from a junk yard and wire it into the cut wires then buy the adapter kit for you car and wire that to the car plug and the radio plug.

I have 1993 honda accord im try to swap a 2000 honda civic radio but my honda accord all we have for speakers cables are red blue green yellow and white,i can't figure it out wich one goes were the 2000...

All cars with 4 speakers have 8 speaker wires (4 positive and 4 negative). The colors of the wires for these two cars are not the same. The only way to know which wire goes where is to get wire diagrams for both cars. Before cutting up your wire harness, check that the radio you're installing will bolt into your car and fit. Just swapping the mounting bracket may not work.
