Thanks for all the help! The radio is working nicely and all is good! Merry christmas everyone!

The head unit will be mounted in the glove box, the 6x9's in the rear and the 6x1's in the door. As far as meaning to keep the old radio.. I meant disconnect the power/ground/whatever wires and hook them up to the new radio while still leaving the stock radio in place rather than fabricate/purchase a new dash mounting kit. But when looking at the wiring there is nothing to it so i'll just be running the power to battery with a 10a fuse, remote to cigarette lighter and ground to the frame and run a 2-3ft antenna wire. Progress is slow and other things are going on and i'm sure this will all come together well in the end. I've done many many many audio installs so this is old experience in an old car. Thanks for all the help and suggestions. Hope everyone has/having a wonderful christmas!

Well the speakers will wire into the head unit. So if the positive ground is changed to negative ground it will work?

My plan is to leave the original radio and tuck the aftermarket one under the dash. But i can't see access to any of the radio wires unless i have to take that out, correct?

Yes it's converted to 12 volt.

Hello all and merry early christmas! So let's begin.. My father has a 49 plymouth and since his ownership he has wanted a working radio in his car for his iphone and cd's. So i did some chistmas shopping and got him a pioneer dxt-x2669ui complete system. Here is the problem. I have no wiring diagrams and am clueless about this car for the most part. I've done many audio installs but this one is a toughy. Once i get the stock unit off and out. Where do i even begin? I don't know what wiring it has. Surely it's not like todays modern cars with 50 wires to choose from. Can someone please help?
