That's called a floating ground system. I haven't installed one of those in a while. I'd google "floating ground stereo" and see if you can't find some helpful info. Good luck

How many speakers did your car come with??? Does it have just four or six??? When I installed my head unit I actually got two harness, one with 8 wire and one with 5. Here's a pic from Crutchfield.com
My guess is you would need to purchase the 5 wire harness to get it to work correctly.
