I have an aftermarket head unit hooked up to my mach460.. i don't know off hand what they go to, but tomorrow i will pull it out for you and tell you what i have hooked to what...i know my colors didn't match up correct either, but everything seems fine now, ALTHOUGH when using the balance on the head unit, adjusting to my rear, sound still comes out of the passenger door speaker, the tweeter is quiet, i am fine with that because i always have it at 50/50 F/R and 50/50 L/R but ill let you know what i have in the morning
