I found an easy way to find the wires for the speakers. You will need a AAA or AA battery, some electrical tape, and 2 wires about 6 inches long. Strip about half an inch off of each end of the wires, and tape the ends of a wire on each end of the battery.
This only works for the speaker wires, I'm not sure what the colors for the hot and ground wires are, but usually the speaker wires have a small stripe or dashes down them.
Take and touch 2 wires at a time, and if the speakers pop, you have found the 2 for that speaker, and then you can mark them.
If you have a 12 volt light, you can find the hot wire.
