The web above may help you in identifying the wires necessary to be hooked up.

HOWEVER: This is for non-bose hookups, but I think the external wiring is the same for all Maximas.

You should, after identifying all the wires, check them by physical verification with an ohmmeter.  You an buy a simple but totally effective ohmmeter at Walmart for $9.83.  Then, you know for sure which wires go where.

PS: You cannot trust going by color only; they don't always go the same as the colors say.
