Alpine head unit install

I have installed an AAW harness in my 70. Two wires feed out for the radio and clock. My question is, does the radio wire serve as the switched power feed, and where would the clock wire be connected to the stereo? May be much simpler than I'm making it but I've never wired in a stereo. The AAW harness, though complete, is much more complex than the Centech I installed in 69 in 2000. Thanks.

Check the manual for your head unit, there should be one wire for constant power and one wire for switched power.

Clock goes to constant, radio goes to switched.

Yep, all you need is a 12v constant (battery connection), a 12v auxillary connection (the like off the ignition, and a ground. then speakers... I did marine/boat speakers, and mounted them behind the front seats next to the roll bar. Works pretty well. I did not want to cut my doors for crappy 6" speakers, that I wouldnt be able to hear when driving (exhaust is loud).
