The one with the fuse just out of the back of the radio, about 3 inches out, 
one wire has a fuse on it, that is the positive. I'm talking the radio end, 
follow that wire out and it should still be positive. Note the *should* if 
for some reason you get it wrong and blow up the radio, remember I said 
*should* not *will* and can't be held responsible but that's how I do it.
