Guys,
I have a period Blaupunkt Frankfurt, as well as two cheapie 4X6 speakers that I want to put into my 914. I have the correct faceplate as well. Bunch of questions, and please pardon my ignorance. I've never done any wiring at all. Ever. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

What gauge wire do you recommend for the speakers?

What kind of connectors do I need?

Where do I get the power for the radio?

What do I mount the radio to in order to support it?

Any other recommendations?

Thanks in advance, and again, pardon my ignorance.

Brent

This older thread is super helpful. I'm trying to confirm that, the blue wire for the radio dial light, piggy backs off of power to the cigarette lighter?

The diagram doesn't indicate if that's the case.

Thanks-

Greg
