Default 1993 Honda Civic DX wire problem [pics]

So I bought a 1993 Civic DX and tried replacing the stereo with a Kenwood 2003 laying around. Some wires to the male wire harness are cut and some were taped to the other wires directly to the stock stereo. Can someone please tell me how to fix this. Also, remember that it only has 2 (as of now) speakers in the front.

Even though you only have 2 speakers, all 4 speaker wires should be there.

Is there a way I can put all the wires into the male wire harness that way all I have to do is plug it into the female wire harness?

wow your putting in a tape deck.LOL come on man i know you can get a cd player cheap.

that old of a deck isnt much better if not worse than the stock radio.LOL

but since your factory harness is already chopped thats a PITA..... the wire colors can be one bit of the PITA and the second PITA part is the wires are short and hard to strip and crimp new radio wires on them.
i hate it when people cut the wires like that! just because they to cheap to buy a 8dollar aftermarket harness that you can simply plug into the stock harness then they cut the wires so short it sucks even worse!

this wire diagram is from my old 94civic but id think it would be the same for a 93 also.

So what do I do after stripping the original wires? How can I put them into the designated slot in the stock wire harness? Do I just crimp it and shove it in the original wire harness?

to use the factory harness youd have to have new factory pins... and those are not cheap! your best to go to a junk yard and find another EG civic and cut there harness out with as much wire as posible on the end and just crimp the wires.
