I just purchased a Sony marine radio to replace the original aquatronics radio that originally came with my boat ('03 Bayliner 195). I was able to physically uninstall the old radio and install the new one, but I've having a hard time with the wiring. For example, the wiring from my boat (2 speakers, btw) only has 8 wires total (red, blue, greed, white, etc), whereas the wiring from my new Sony radio has around 12 wires (including various "striped" ones). I'm assuming these extra wires are for the 3rd and 4th speaker I don't have, as for the amplifier that I don't have either. But, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to match-up the 8 wires I'll need from the Sony system to the 8 wires leading from my boat. Finally, my sony system contains a colored wire (I believe orange) that my boat simply doesn't have.
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
