    Help wiring an amp to XMD3 deck

    I'm looking to install an amp on my 2005, 205 ltd. As I look at the wiring on the XMD3, I'm feelig a little confused. I'm having trouble even knowing which wires are the speaker wirers. Does anyone out there have proper wiring details, even a little thing on where I should be cutting the speaker wires to splice to the amp, any help is greatly appreciated as I do not want to butcher it.

    Gray wires = stbd fwd speaker
    White wires = port fwd speaker
    Purple wires = stbd aft speaker
    Green wires = port aft speaker

    Orange = port bow
    Light Blue = stbd bow

    Gray RCA = front
    Black RCA = rear
    Red RCA = inputs

    Blue wire from stereo = Remote amp turn on
    Yellow = memory wire
    Red = power
    Black = ground

      Here's an old stereo installer's trick. Using a AA battery brush the speaker leads across the battery, it will make a scratching sound out of the speaker. This is how I identify all speaker wires, you can also identify polarity when they do things like light blue/dark blue on speaker wires. You can also set a multimeter to measure resistance then brush the speaker leads but it doesn't always work with digital multi-meters.
