Subject:more radio harness questions

Hi Tim,

You suggested I buy the Best Kits harness which I did, but I have a couple
questions I was hoping you wouldn't mind answering for me since you've done
this already.  The speakers I understand.  Its the double brown, double red,
and double blue/grey wires from the van that is troubling me.  My kenwood
has one black, one red, and one yellow wire.  The harness from Best Kits has
one black, one orange/white, one red/yellow, one yellow/red, one blue, and
one blue/white.  From looking at wiring diagrams, instructions, etc. it
seems like the red from the stereo connects to the red/yellow on the
harness.  However, the red/yellow on the bk harness doesn't have any wires
going into it on the other side coming from the van.  The blue/grey wires
from the van go into the plug opposite the orange/white from the bk harness,
so I thought maybe I should solder the orange/white to the red from the
stereo?  The double brown from the van comes in opposite of the black - does
this get grounded somewhere along the brown wires?  I assume I should solder
the black from the stereo to the black from the bk harness.  The double red
come in from the van into a plug opposite where the yellow/red from the bk
harness are.  So I should solder the yellow from the stereo to the
yellow/red on the bk harness, right?  The blue and the blue/white on the
harness I'm guessing I should just leave.

Any help you can offer with this would be appreciated - its getting a bit
confusing.

Thanks!!
Marla
