Can anyone give me a quick rundown of the stock audio wire colors in a 93' Vtec lude. Im trying to connect a wiring harness to cut wires due to a stolen deck.

Speakers:
DF + Blu/Grn
DF - Gry/BLk
PF + Red/Grn
PF - Brn/Blk
DR + Blu/Yel
DR - Gry/Wht
PR + Red/Yel
PR - Grn/Wht

Ground: Blk
Const 12v: Red/Blk
Switch 12v: Yel/Red
Antenna up/down: Yel/Wht and Wht/ Yel (not sure which is which)

If that dosen't work then just do the ol' probe. On speakers you can use a 1.5v battery. Just tap the wires to the battey till it thumps. If you look at the speaker you can see which way makes the speaker move out. Takes time, but you can be sure of the setup.

what does the "P" and "D" stand for? (ie: PF)

PF = passenger front
DR = driver rear

This info has been in the Audio FAQ, in the Car Entertainment & Security forum, for a long time now.

If you want a new harness, I have one

Red/Blk IS NOT the correct color ----don't connect that wire. Its the illumination wire and should be taped and isolated.

Constant power should be Yellow/White
