Default Need help installing a 99 civic Si radio into my 92 integra

I went to the dealer and bought the radio harness for the radio to hardwire into my cars' current harness. Everything wired up color for color(i believe all the speakers) but i cant seem to find the constant and switched power. Are those wires located on the other plug which is alarm/keyless entry related? And with the current harness on the back of my radio i have about 5 wires left over and they definitely dont match to anything that would wire into my chasis harness? Any help? Perhaps some diagrams or something? Thanks......

i got the harness for a 99 si radio. So far all the speaker wires on all the online diagrams i have seen match up perfect. Now im on a quest to find which ones are the power on and power constant. I dont have a ylo/red or a red/ylo like the diagrams suggest.

nevermind. The white/green matches up to the chasis and the white/red goes to the ylo/red. Now the only problem im getting is the ground. When i wire it normally the radio turns on but the speakers dont work. And when i try grounding it to various interior metal it sometimes works. Any suggestions there?

Because i park this car on the street in the city and its my daily driver. Is a bling 200 dollar radio worth some crackhead busting my window and stealing my ****?

And yes i have tried all different grounds available...even tried tapping into other grounds around the dash...and nothing. Im thinking its more than likely the radio.

There are tons of theifs here in northern California, the bad part is that they dont just take your radio but they break your window or take a crowbar to the door or the trunk. I got a 98 accord radio off of ebay for $25 for my 92 teg. I just got the diagrams off of the12volt and it turned right on after I replaced the fuse. Here is a pic of it, I think it looks pretty good:

Yeah take the ground wire from the factory radio you're putting in and put a ring crimp on it and screw it to some metal.

tried it..no results. The radio turns on and functions but it doesnt send sound to the speakers. Sometimes if i hit a bump it does.

DO NOT PLUG IT IN AGAIN to your car and run it longer. You need to check your speakers and speaker wires with a multimeter, do a continuity test to ground on all,[ 8 ] the speaker wires. 94
