I have a '95 Jeep Wrangler and a CB Radio.  I want to install the radio, but I have three wires on the back side of the unit.  What do each of the three wires go to, and how should I connect them?  I am not looking for a specific model installation...this is a general question.  Thanks

alright, I have three 14 guage wires, in order, their colors are: red, orange, and black.  I figure the black for ground, but the red and orange wires both have fuse holders on them.  However, there is an antenna connection on the back of the unit.  It's a threaded bolt with an antenna intput in the center of the bolt.  What do you think.  A friend of mine said they used to hook the red to constant, and the other to the fuse box.  I can't figure that one out.  If you've got power with a fused line, you need only connect to a switched wire, but now I have one extra.  What the hell?

Red = Positive

Black = Ground
Orange = Power thats always on this can be for a couple of reasons but most likely is because it can hold some kind of memeory and by not hooking that wire up you wont have that option.
