Default Which wires are which?

I'm installing an amplifier in my 1999.5 A4 Avant and need help identifying some wires. Instead of running new speaker wire from the amp to the speakers in the rear door I'm hoping to tap into the speaker wires via the plug that goes into the "tupperware" sub/amp (which I've removed). Can anyone help me identify which wires are which in that plug?

Thanks,
Mike

Default I figured it out

With the help of the wiring diagram in the Bentley manual and a helper who's not colorblind I was able to figure out which wire is which. In case anyone else is undertaking this sort of project, the blue/green and brown/red wires lead to the speaker in the left rear door and the red/green and brown/black wires lead to the speaker in the right rear door.
