My 86 Syncro was not a common ground setup like that.  Each speaker had it
own pair of wires coming to the radio.

The existing wiring may be the factory 3-wire, with a common ground wire for
both rear speakers.  Modern amps don't like that, even the little amp in the
stereo.  The front speakers have their own wires, not a problem.
