Does the basic radio have rear speaker outputs?

However since many (most?) newer factory speaker systems are customarily wired "above ground" the standard test can yield similar voltage on both leads. Note that aftermarket systems label all the inputs and outputs as + or - to allow the installer to properly install their components. The car manufacturer often doesn't label these connections because they design the OEM connectors such that they can't be installed incorrectly.
