I'm really bad with these electrical things... I bought a cd palyer for my barracuda which sits in its own little home on the transmission tunnel (auto on column). I didnt want to bash up the dash because it is perfect. I have 2 wires left... hot and ground, everything else is hooked up. WHERE DO I PUT THEM??? Where do they go?? I know they go in the fuse box somewhere...but where. REMEMBER...I dont have much a clue about these things, so talk pretty general.
thanks again,
Scott

ground goes to metal on the body, hot goes to a 12 volt source that turns on with the ignition.

a good hot lead would be to a cigarette plug, or to a red wire that connected to your previous radio.

You may want to put an inline fuse on the hot wire in case it would ever stress/overload the original harness. Go to radio shack as they should have something that specs out to your radios amp draw.
