Help Wiring New Radio
So I have the old, one wire with a single fuse connection for power and two wires for the one speaker, AM only, kinda radio and I want something newer. Problem is, with half a dozen wires for power and just as many for speakers, I don't know how the heck I go about hooking one up in my old '72! I can probably figure out the speaker wires, but can anybody tell me how I go about hooking it up to power? I'm not afraid to mess with wires and modify stuff if I need to, I just don't know what I'm supposed to do to make it work! Thanks guys!
Oh, btw, I plan to install the new one outta sight and use a remote, 'cause I like the way the old one looks in the dash.

most radios are fairly straight forward.
Yellow - constant power(always hot)
Red - ignition on power(only hot when key is on or in accessory)
Black - ground
Blue - remote turn on for amplifier if you have one.
the rest should be speaker wires. I recommend running new wires to each speaker.
