    Presuming the radio is stereo- the black would be common and each channel gets its respective red wire. Sharing the ground wire is not the best way to get fidelity but it works. Also never connect this ground to the vehicle chassis ground.

    Frank you only use 2 of the plugs not all 3. The 2 plugs marked with the picture of 2 speakers is for your setup. See below.

    Thanks guys..
    So I would omit the location that I have a black connector?
    And use the other 2 , And just combine wires from each speaker to make 2 connectors?

    If this is a mono radio, Mike is correct, and it appears that the two relevant plugs are the black one and the top red one.
