Re: car radio ?
Yes, my radio had a constant hot/ignition/ground/antennea and had 1 power and 1 ground for every speaker.

Re: car radio ?
update--the only signs for a radio is the ant. wire can't find a hot wire either. Is there a way to fix this ?

Re: car radio ?
I am a little confused. Are these wires the ones that are sticking out in the truck or that are attached to the radio? There are spades on the fuse box for constant and ignition that you can tap in to with female connectors. If you can't find any spades you can splice into other wires aswell. My constant is spliced into my dome light if I remember correctly.
