Red for pwr & black for earth...other than that????

As for the car wires...best if your trace them & measure them for pwr & earth. You cannot sometimes rely on the car wires as they can be known to change coulours when they route thru connectors...so the only way is visual & measurement.

It looks as if the car wires are for a 2 channel speaker system where the radio is a 4 channel system.

Amybe you might find something here.

Good luck
Thanks mate, it helps a little. Yes, the ute only has 2 speakers where the stereo has wires for 4. I assumed the four pairs were FR FL RR RL on the stereo. I can work out the wires for the car speakers by tracing them back but as for the rest, I'll have to test somehow as I am not pulling the whole harness out.
