alot of older cars have some trippy coloured wires behind the dash and are a pain in the arse to trace so your best bet is to definately get a multimeter to test what wire is what. I tried to do it without and ended up hooking the constant 12 to one of my speakers. it still worked fine for about 4 months then a fuse blew so i got a multimeter and it was a piece of piss.
