Problem install HeadUnit in 83SD

I just got a JVC 180watt cd player, and im having trouble finding out how to install the new one. I have pulled out the old Becker, but im stuck on which wires hook on to which.

I've snipped the L and R speaker wires, Im assuming that they are only for the front, right?

I've found out which wire is the atenna wire, but where do i hook that to? the accesorry?

Also those 2 ground wires, Am i sopposed to screw that in the back on the new HU also? OR with the Batter and Power?

Im clue less to what wires are in the main connector, and where do i hook them up with? Which wires are in there?

I have only hooked up 2 sets of speaker wires.
I still need to hook up the
Battery
Accesory
Remote ( i dont have one)
Power
And 2 more speaker wires.

Can someone expalin to me how i install my Head Unit?

These 79 Beckers are getting to me.

Please help me out

head unit installation

1. The L&R speaker wires are NOT just for the front. They go to the preinstalled fader thumbwheel by all of your window switches in the center console and these two wires power all four speakers. Refer to you head unit instructions to wire up for a two speaker system.

2. The power antenna wire goes to the (usually blue in color and used as REMOTE) wire from the head unit and I do believe that is NOT the Accesory wire. The accesory wire is wired into a switched "hot" wire which is what will apply power to the radio when you have the car in ACC or running.

3. I'm not sure what you mean by your ground wires. The ground wires in these MB's are brown so be careful what you think is ground. You will have a negative(-) and a positive(+) for each of the two speaker wires and one ground for the power sources.

all together though you should have two speaker wire sets(4 wires total), a switched power(accessory), power antenna(remote), ground to a brown wire or negative side of battery, and a constant power(+12VDC) or off of the positive(+) side of the battery itself. Hope this helps you.

Also the remote wire could be used to power an amplifier eventually when you swich the radio on which is how this remote wire works. If you turn on the radio, power goes out through the remote line and switches on whatever it is connected to.
