hey sixto,
your idea worked.
I tied the yellow and red wires together and put it into the blk/yellow constant.
Everything looks great right now, the clock does not reset when I turn it off.

Will there be any problems with doing the set up this way in the long run?

You guys have been very helpful, thanks a lot.

Now I just have to figure out how to wire in new speakers.
