Default Quick stereo wiring question....

Okay...

Am I right in thinking that the front and rear speaker pairs share a common ground??
It seems that way from the diagram, but I wana be sure before I start soldering any wires together... ;-)

Fairly sure.

A couple of years ago I installed an aftermarket radio.

I had a similar problem so I numbered the wiring diagram with what made sense to me when in the car.

To give you and idea of what I did see this scan, sorry about my hand writing, never been any good. (one working eye and LHD)

It gave me a key to work with.

It appears I don't have privileges to make a new post so I'll ask here. I need to run RCA cables from the stereo to the trunk of the car and was wondering the best path/placement of them. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much carlosz! Very awesome website - found out immediately a few other questions I have but I still would like to know the best way to route cables from front to back. In my last car I was able to run cables (RCA, remote, power, etc) down in the floor near the door without having to tear up too much car. Again, any help here would be appreciated and I do have the Haynes manual but experience is priceless and advice is needed. Thank you so much!
