I am not sure if your calling us idiots or if you mean there were not many adapters available when people changed out the stereos, I have always purchased wire adapters, much easier and smarter.
well all i ever seem to hear about is... "the previous owner messed it up"

You have a point there, Hell, when I had my 79 fox back in the early 90's I still used an adapter for the new stereo. Maybe people are getting smarter these days about how to put in a stereo correctly, but there is always someone too cheap to buy the adapter.

Well bad news, got the adaptor all wired up, and no go! And no I didn't screw it up red to red green to green, I'm not a total idiot! Problem is the stock wiring does not match what the color codes are supposed to be. I got to looking and it appears to me that there is one common ground for all the speakers??? I thought that went out with the dinisaurs! WTF! I guess I'll have to go to alternate plan C. Why would my '90 be this way???

My '93 had a factory Amp under the passenger seat where all the speakers where wired to. I did my stereo system almost 3 years ago so I do not remember the exacts...

But I remember pulling it because it is garbage...maybe some of your problems lie there??

No, amp under the pass seat. Seem like some lousy wiring from the factory! I can't believe that they were still using the common ground in '90, but it seems to be the case.

I guess that amp was for "Premium Sound"

...more like Premium CRAP

You may want to just rewire all the speakers with new up to dat wires, bigger, and better, and then you know which wires are + and -.
