I have a kenwood marine in mine. Though no external remote clarion is good for multiple external remotes. Though mine was brand new under 100 on ebay. Just match up the wire colors from old cd player pig tail to new one and should be good. If you have completely different colors report back.should be white and white black stripe to one speaker, gray and gray with black stripe to another, purple and pb to another, green and gb to last speaker. Ground then red to red, and then constant
Good point, you can pull up the manual for the old stereo and retrace the wire colors from there - but as far as colors, not all speaker colors are constant throughout, and you have to remember that the black striped wires are typically the negative of the solid color ones. Once again not all manufacturers and/or installers follow the same colors when identifying speaker locations, and yet others use a solid negative and the same color with a red or white stripe to designate positive. Here is a common sony diagram.
You would have to see what wire connects to each wire in the harness from the boat to the stereo and then trace it back. Time consuming, but it works.
