That's what I found. The two grounds from the Front and the two grounds from the Rear speakers are spliced together up inside the sheath. A third pair of grounds is spliced in there also to ground all four speakers to two channels of the stock radio. (see diagram)

But. . .this is the w123. Do you have six speakers stock instead of four?

For me it was really helpful to have found a junked car with zero interior that let me trace everything easily.

I did see and read your post, but the 8 wires at the fader throw me.

One thing I did notice is that ALL of the grounds on my car were solid black whether they were front or rear.

Whatever you do, cut that sheath off, just so you have all of the wires free to work with. I imagine you'll discover something similar.

Good luck. Maybe post some pics of your set up too. If I can I'll add pics down the road from some other w123.
