Actually if you look here https://www.scoobynet.com/technical-...d-updated.html you can find a workshop manual for your model


That should help you find out for definite which wires are which ..

If you are unsure, put the headunit on full rear, attach wires to speakers and try it. If you get them out of phase, you will lose bass, so just swap ONE pair of wires over.
