google the make and model# of your radio. most manufacturers have owners manuals on line that should have wiring diagrams

Most people make an independant ciruit. Wire ffrom battery to fuse to sw. to radio. ground wire back to battery. There is an extra wire for the memory that needs to stay on the battery(not switched) Those three wires are the radio power and everything else is for speakers and accessorys. Don't forget the antenna.

yeah but there is a plug I need for the back of the radio right and what kind of wire do I use like speaker wire

where here do I connect the wires from radio to battery the black plug where my hand is or the red and white holes

Oh boy.....I think you need to find that plug. I don't even know where to start here. Looks like you'll need to get it from that model car. Then you'll need a diagram to know what does what.

If it's after market (which you stated it was) in your first post. search the make & model# on ebay. you might find the harness you need. if not contact the manufacturer, maybe they can help.

You should go back and get the harness/connector from the car you pulled the radio from. It will be useless to the new owner anyway..
