Default New to the game and in need of help

Hey guys i just bought my first caprice its a 1986 sedan with a 305 v8 in it. I have allot of questions and would like some advice and wisdom.

ive been wanting a caprice since i was young and now i finally have one. I would love to get into the box game and love to learn allot more.

i have been having trouble wiring in my radio and subs. The stock radiowas taken out and allot of things have been changed theres no rear speakers and i dont think the front speakers work. I have box speakers from an entertainment center. I also have a sub with a built in amp. Also i have 2 Ford ranger door speakers. Im not to good with wiring but i wired up the pig tail for the radio and it will turn on but no sound if someone has the wiring diagram for 1986 caprice that would great.

Any suggestions on what color i should paint it and what kind of rims i should get and any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
