Ok. Here's what I need help with. I made an edit saying problem solved but that wasn't the case. Ok back to basics, here's the colors I have to work with from the stock wiring and their counter part from the radio. Stock Wiring----Radio WiringAccessory (+): Gray----Red: Ignition (+)Battery (+): Blue White----Yellow: Battery (+)Ground (-): Brown----Black: Ground (-)Power Antenna (+): Black----Blue: Power Antenna (+)Amp Turn On (+): Black----Blue White: Amp Turn On (+)LF Speaker (+): Pink----White: LF Speaker (+)LF Speaker (-): Purple----White Black: LF Speaker (-)LR Speaker (+): Black----Green: LR Speaker (+)LR Speaker (-): Yellow----Green Black: LR Speaker (-)RF Speaker (+): Light Green----Gray: RF Speaker (+)RF Speaker (-): Blue----Gray Black: RF Speaker (-)RR Speaker (+): Red----Violet: RR Speaker (+)RR Speaker (-): White----Violet Black: RR Speaker (-)Left over from stock wiring:Illumination (+): Green Dimmer (-): White BlackLeft over from radio wiring:White Brown: Reverse Lamp (+)Now here's my questions. The stock wiring only has 2 black wires while the wiring chart requires 3 to hook up power antenna, amp turn on, and power the LR speaker. So what do I do about this? Also there is an extra green and an extra pink wire left over after everything is wired up. Any idea what they might go to?

Are you using an aftermarket harness to plug into the cars stock harness?I am having trouble remembering but I do believe the power antenna and amplifier remote turn on merge into the same wire before the radios harness. If not then the two wires are on one end of the plug one will be above the other. The black wire for the speaker will be grouped with the other speaker leads into the harness most likely the pin right next to LR speakers pin.

my oh so smart brother in law decided the best way to wire it was cutting off the stock wiring harness rather than getting the harness kit but I ended up merging the amp turn on with the rear speaker wire that's black and ran the antenna to the other black wire. Everything works great now. Thanks for the help

If I were you I would quickly look into the wiring. I would find the right wire for the antenna/amplifier and wire them together and wire the speaker to the correct wire. The way you have it currently wired could create some issues for you in the near future.
