Hi all,
New member here with a presumably simple question for anyone with experience. I however am a novice at stereo installs.

I bought the Custom Autosounds hidden stereo receiver for my '67 'vert. but am having trouble getting power to it.

First question is, which of the two wires on the factory harness is ACC power, and which is constant 12 volt?

Second question: Can I/how do I connect the wires from the new receiver to the stock harness? It doesn't seem to be a simple plug and play since one of the female connectors is larger than the other, and both the mail and constant power wires on the new receiver are the same size.

I'm sure someone here has done this install before so any help is appreciated. Also interested in hearing where others have mounted the receiver. I was thinking inside the console behind the roll-up door, but unsure how to mount without drilling holes in the console itself.

I went and bought one of these 7 Circuit universal harnesses I really didn't feel like cutting into a 40 year old wiring harness that wasn't giving me any problems. Besides that I want to add a few more items and IMO I think it will be much easier to add them to this than to search and find existing wires in the harness to power them.

That might work...if I knew what i was doing. I doubt I'll be adding any other accesories, so this may be overkill for me. But I don't want to cut into the factory wiring either.

For anyone who has installed an aftermarket radio, what source of constant power did you use.

Also, does anyone happed to have the harness from their old radio, or have an old radio with wires intact?

Its been like 2 years since I put a sterio into my 67 but I think I remember there were only 2 wires and 1 was ground and the other was switched power from the ignition. As I recall I had to run an extra wire straight back to the starter motor relay/solinoid for the constant power.
