Looking for Radio and equalizer schematics?

I have a 1986 cougar with a radio that comes on but the speakers are not hooked up, someone was trying but quit in the middle of it so does anyone have a schematic to hook up the equalizer and radio to the speakers. I am not sure if there is one on the radio yet I am in the process of removing it and thought I would ask just in case there wasn't.

update, I got it and it is working

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.

Well my daughter bought me a new stereo for the car and hooked it up but there were no wires for the front speakers, I do have back sound however I can only turn it up to 25 if I go over it starts to cut out on all stations. She told me that with front and back speakers there should be either wires and since the front speakers were not working that maybe the front ones are somehow touching the back ones and this could cause the problem or the ground wire is touching the speaker wires or something like that and I don't have a good clue what she is talking about, I have a little clue but not a big enough one to go messing around until I know for sure what could be the cause. So I thought I would ask those who have gone before me lol
