find the other end of the rca cables or trial and error . no one can just tell you where they go. you must test them or trace the cables

my first guess would be...

white -> white
green -> red next to white
black -> white
purple -> red

trial-and-error away after that

just plug them in one at a time and see where the sound is coming from.

Power back up your old head unit, set fade and balance to Front/Left, swap out plug until the sound is coming from Front left speaker, Next Front/Right, swap out plugs until the sound is coming from Front right speaker. Do the same for the back. This way if your new head unit allows you to set different vocal/treb and bass levels for different set of speakers it won't be fed to one front and one back, when its supposed to be just the back set. After identifying each plug I suggest taking a small piece of masking tape and labeling each FL,FR,BL,BR and the color match on the cord at the base of the male ends. Then you have that for future reference.

^This, but if yo have to mark them because your taking them off all the time, you're doing something wrong. :gap:

I figure I'd end up just doing trial amd error, but was thinking the layout and colors could have been merely universal ( likE AV component cables) or possibly someone remembers what order they go in from upgrading there own. Oh well coke Monday ill do some testing :)

Thanks guys ill try some of these suggestions
