Got a cheap kenwood radio. It has a hardness with the following cables:

Does anyone knows what goes to what or where to find out?

Thanks

Weird. Is this an old-ass deck? Do you have a pic of the harness?
Usually this is how it goes:

White and white/black - front speaker (can't remember which side)
Purple and purple/black - rear speaker
Green and green/black - rear speaker
Grey and grey/black - front speaker
Blue is remote power for an amp if you have one hooked up. Cap it off if you don't.
Black is ground
Red is ignition power (usually 3-amp fused IIRC)
Yellow is constant power (usually 10-20-amp fused from battery +)
Orange is illumination (not used on old cars)
Blue/white is power antenna (not 100% positive on this one)

I think that covers it.
Maybe double check those wires again. You may have an old deck that hooks up the speakers in a series which I wouldn't even bother hooking up. It's more of a PITA than it's worth but then again I'm kinda lazy. :lol:

If the deck has two blue wires the blue white is amp remote and blue is ant control(blue turns off when deck is switched to cd) White wires are for the front left and green wires are for the rear left the wires with a black trace(stripe) are grounds for the speakers do not connect these to chassis ground
