I have a pair of vehicles I am installing radios into (1967 Landrover and a 1968 Volvo Amazon). Both have brown power wires for a radio but no other wiring (speakers, aerial etc).

Installing speakers etc is easy enough but has anyone got diagrams / info on how to wire it all to iso blocks?

Thanks.

Eh?
Do you mean you want the iso wiring - like Wikipedia ISO 10487?

From that it's your own wiring.
And normally I'd suggest it's own power wire, but I do that for independence of any sub-standard OEM car wiring and IgnKey.
I'd use a relay if Acc or Ign off was to off the radio, but I prefer manual on &off - hence my +12V permanent and switched are the same if independent fusing isn't an issue.
