Can anyone please help identify the wires I need to connect my stereo, I
cant figure out which ones are for the speeakers, there seems to be two sets
of cables, the first lot are thin and are coloured , black, blue, white,
yellow, red, green, and have copper wiring sheath around them, the thicker
wires are as follows green/grey, yellow/white, green/red, blue, white,
orange, black x2, I can power up my stereo but cant work out how to wire the
speakers, whoever removed the original stereo also removed all the
connectors, so I just have lots of messy cables....thanx in advance for any
advice....

Black is generally ground, often Volvo uses 2 wires each for ground and
power.

Follow that lot of thin wires down to the amplifier (usually near the
steering column), there you will find all the speaker wires.
