Anyone with an 88 EVTM (not 87)

I have the 87 evtm but the colors for the premium sound don't match my 88.  Could someone hook me up with the premium sound pages from an 88 specific evtm?

Ok, so I need to take the 4 outputs, as highlighted on the left, and get their corresponding colors at the amp (not the back of the radio), as highlighted on the right.  Thanks! 

Oh, and thanks for the offer, Scott.  It's awesome you're always willing to go the extra mile to help out fellow t-bird/cougar guys!

hmm...  .  Ok, thanks.  Guess the only other thing I can try is the good ole "cut and listen" process to figure out which wire is input for which channel of the amp...

What do you guys think is more likely;  The amp inputs (low level signal) is on the same plug as the power and ground wires and the powered wires out to the speakers are on the other plug, or vice-versa?

oh man, that's perfect!!  I still don't know about the colors, but since your diagram shows the connector, I can use location to identify my wires...  THANKS!

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
