Another radio wiring question

[broncobuddha]

Been combing through threads looking at diagrams and discussions.

I have zero of the factory radio or speaker in my '73.

I've bought a new Pioneer head unit and 2 6x9's to just get something in the way of sound for now.

Head unit is going in a Tuffy console and the 6x9s under the bedrails right behind the front seats.

So, for others simply looking for where to manually wire up a radio, I wanted this post to be out there.

I know I need:

1) 12V unswitched source - for clock/preset saving
2) 12V switched source - for main power to the stereo
3) Ground

I'm not running an amp and I don't necessarily care about tying into a dimmer source.

So, in the order listed above, here's where I'm going:

1) Tying into the yellow bat wire coming off of the ignition
2) Tying into the black w/green ACC wire off of the ignition
3) Wherever is good.

Correct me if these won't work please. Paul? Lol.

Thanks!

I just replaced the original AM head with a new radio I went off the ignition and off the lighter socket…..
