Wiring -- I have a plug-in assembly for a hookup to a car radio and front and back speakers, which are labelled; not a problem, then there is a black power wire with fuse, I understand that, then there are also two blue wires coming out of the same hole, which also look like speaker wires but I don't really know.
and that is my problem, what are they and how are they hooked up and if, to what?
I'm told I need to use 8 ohm speakers, is that correct?
Hope you can help.
Thanks
Pete
This is for a Vintage Radio Reverb Stereo 68 made by Ranger Model # RR22R, sold by Allied Electronics in 1968. Normally, there is just wiring from the plug for front and back speakers, and sometimes they were hooked up to stereo instead of mono and maybe that is what those extra wires are for?This is for a Vintage Radio Reverb Stereo 68 made by Ranger Model # RR22R, sold by Allied Electronics in 1968.

On new systems, like the one you bought to replace old one: grey and white are front, purple and green are rear. New wires should be labelled or shown on diagram on radio body. Stripes indicate negative side of speaker.
On your old loom: cut back behind plug, and strip wires at ends. Isolate power and grounds, and any that go hot EVER! Now checking just the remaining wires, use a AA or 9-volt battery, and touch pairs of wires to opposite poles of the battery. If you touch two that go to the same speaker, you will hear a slight static sound at that speaker: label these for that speaker, and so on. Once you get the pairs seperated and labelled by speaker location, the negs will be the striped ones, though you may not find they all have stripes. once you pair them, test in both polarity positions, the correct one will sound better right away. Should be able to reach max volume with little buzz or distortion. If not switch pow and neg sides. Hope this helps, TT
